This will surely influence many other european nations - but it might take a very long time.

I think many types of national laws are very specific to the political tradition of that country, and to a large extent immune to influence from other countries.

2 examples: In Sweden, Norway and maybe Finland you cannot sell beer above 3.5% in supermarkets, only from a govt store with limited hours. This has persisted for decades despite most other european countries not doing it that ay.

Example2: Norway. Pro boxing was banned from 1982-2016 because they did not like sports that encouraged people to knock each other out. And there's a law that prevent large stores from being open on Sundays. Even large grocery stores are closed on sundays (with a small amount of exceptions)

Germany's legalization of cannabis marks a historic shift in drug policy. It's encouraging to see a move toward regulation, education, and harm reduction instead of criminalization. Hopefully, this sparks broader reforms across Europe and promotes more open, evidence-based discussions worldwide. Now, shops like https://hazesmokeshop.com/ will become popular and find hundreds of customers.
