Abstract
Abstract The German government plans the ‘total-legalization’ of cannabis i.e. a state regulated market for recreational cannabis by 2024. Unlike Canada or Uruguay the German legislator plans to comply with the international treaty regime which strictly prohibits cannabis except for medical and scientific purposes. Concerning the equally prohibitive EU law the German government coalition follows a legal strategy of re-interpreting relevant provisions and exploiting legal loopholes. This article will outline this strategy and analyse the complex problems it raises under international and EU law. It will demonstrate that the German government has embarked on a risky endeavor as the international treaty regime as much as EU crime and drug policies give little room for legal maneuvers. Major issues such as the curbing of drug tourism and the compliance with free market rules remain widely unsolved.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
