38 deputies voted in favour of the bill, with 22 against. The parties DP, LSAP, Déi Gréng, déi Lénk and ADR had already announced in advance that they were in clear favour of bill 8033.

A repressive policy towards drugs is “an absolute failure”, said Minister of Justice, Sam Tanson (Déi Gréng) at the end of the debate. For that reason, “we must dare to take another path” and “seek solutions”.

Her party colleague Josée Lorsché remarked: “It’s not a question of trivialising or promoting cannabis”, but with this bill “it is a question of combating drug-related crime and the sale of cannabis on the black market.” She added that this would also lead to better quality products, as those offered on the illegal drug market are “more harmful to the health of users”.
