Berlin - Andreas Müller is considered one of Germany s strictest juvenile court judges. He s notorious for not shying away from tough punishments for juvenile criminals. But the 59-year-old also vehemently supports the legalisation of cannabis and recently asked the country s top court to review Germany s ban on the drug.
