Steinbrück to Students: Pot Should Be Decriminalized


Peer Steinbrück, the center-left Social Democratic Party's (SPD) candidate for chancellor, went all out to appeal to young voters with a recent visit to a student flatshare in Kreuzberg, a trendy district in the German capital. Not only did the party leave 48 bottles of beer in its wake, Steinbrück made an unexpected comment.

According to the daily B.Z. newspaper on Tuesday, no topic was off limits. Apparently, the student schmooze saw a jovial Steinbrück pull out the stops in an attempt to mobilize young voters -- by advocating the decriminalization of cannabis.
