Austria Germany Border

In response to Germany’s recent legalization of cannabis for recreational purposes, Austria has announced an increase in police patrols near its German border. This announcement was made by Austria’s leading security official on Tuesday.

As of Monday, Germany has allowed adults to possess up to 25 grams (approximately 1 ounce) of cannabis for leisure use and permitted the cultivation of up to three cannabis plants per person for personal consumption.

A further aspect of the law, enabling German citizens aged 18 and older to participate in non-profit cannabis cultivation clubs to purchase marijuana, will become effective on July 1.

While cannabis regulations vary across Europe, most countries still prohibit its recreational use. Austria, expressing no intention to emulate Germany’s policy, aims to deter any illicit commerce across its borders.

Austria’s Interior Minister Gerhard Karner declared that police would bolster their surveillance, especially near the border regions, to clamp down on narcotic trafficking and apprehend impaired drivers. “Our goal is to safeguard all individuals on the road,” he stated.

According to the ministry, undercover officers and drug recognition experts from regional transportation authorities will be among those assigned to these enhanced patrols.
