on the streets of Stadtilm in the Ilm district, a traffic control on June 18, 2025 caused a stir when the police pulled a 27-year-old driver out of circulation.

With the partial legalization of cannabis, there is always misunderstandings about the ability to travel. Many believe that you can still drive safely after the consumption of cannabis, but the facts are often different here. According to [anwalt.de] (https://www.anwalt.de/rechtstipps/fahren-unter-cannabis-oder-die influencing-die-dschatte--währ-wahr-html) the crucial question is whether you are traveling. The legislation does not know any fixed alcohol boundaries for cannabis, but evaluates individual health and responsiveness.

legal consequences and driven

A possible reason for the actions of the police is not least in the clear legal situation: Those who drive under drugs can be held responsible for the consequences. Section 316 of the Criminal Code states that even small amounts of drugs in the blood can lead to criminal liability. The punishments range from fines to prison sentences of up to five years, depending on whether there was a specific danger for other road users. This shows that even supposedly harmless drug rides can pull far -reaching consequences.

In particular, drivers who believe they do not have physical or cognitive restrictions under cannabis influence. Typical signs such as reddened eyes, slowed reactions and equilibrium disorders are often unmistakable and endanger not only the driver himself, but also other road users. According to ADAC, the detection of drugs in the blood is already prohibited for the driving license by the legislator.

look into the future

The upcoming changes in the legal framework provide a new limit of 3.5 ng/ml THC in the blood for adults from August 22, 2024. An absolute ban on 1 ng/ml applies to beginners and people under the age of 21. This shows how seriously dealing with drugs in road traffic and how important preventive measures are to ensure security on the streets.

In order to continue to minimize the risks of drug use in road traffic, the ADAC calls for increased educational work. Finally, all road users should be sensitized to make road traffic safer. The example from Stadtilm illustrates that during drug trips you not only get into legal difficulties, but also put your own life and the lives of others.
