From some quick googling it looks to me like Germany isn't big on decriminalisation because they're already most of the way there:

> In 1994, the Federal Constitutional Court ruled that drug addiction and the possession of small amounts of drugs for personal use were not crimes.

That only applied to Cannabis though, not to drugs in general, and it did not find that possession wasn't a crime, but that the state should not pursue indictments for personal use.
