Cannabis - Probieren geht über Regieren

Being a politician is a tough job. Federal Councillor Alois Mumenthaler knows this too and makes his way through the sessions as a grumpy and old-fashioned representative of the species. He is pretty much against everything and launches a rigorous anti-drug campaign that turns out to be a flop. His party no longer wants him and his wife even less so. He has also been diagnosed with glaucoma. The man is slowly going blind. A visit to the doctor reveals that cannabis, of all things, has a healing effect and could fight the disease. But a federal councillor and cannabis don't mix. Nevertheless, it is the only way for Mumenthaler to avoid complete blindness and keep his hopes of an operation alive.
