(AP Photo/Sakchai Lalit, file) BERLIN (AP) The German government is setting in motion plans to legalize the sale of cannabis for recreational purposes, aiming to have legislation ready later this year. The Health Ministry said Monday that it will start holding expert hearings on various aspects of the issue Tuesday. It said that more than 200 representatives from the medical, legal and other fields will take part, along with officials from various levels of government and unidentified international experts. The pledge to legalize controlled sales of cannabis to adults in licensed shops is one of a series of reforms outlined in last years coalition deal between the three socially liberal parties that make up Chancellor Olaf Scholzs government. They said the plan would ensure quality control while also protecting young people, and agreed that the social effects of the new legislation would be examined after four years.
