It’s home to one of the largest indoor cannabis farms in Europe but currently cannabis in Germany is illegal for recreational use and only allowed in limited medical contexts the government wants to change that with a law decriminalizing marijuana allowing German adults from April to cultivate up to three plants for private consumption
And carry up to 25 G then from July 1st nonprofit cannabis clubs will be owed to sell the regulated substance to members with a maximum of 500 German residents over the age of 18 permitted per Club speaking when the German cabinet passed the bill in August the health
Minister said the aim is to protect users from contaminated cannabis I am presenting this because it is also a health policy decision in Germany because we cannot seriously protect children and young people with the current procedures we want to limit consumption and make it safer the government also hopes to curb
The black market and lessen the workload for the justice system but the plan has been slowed down by Fierce opposition from some lawmakers within the ruling Coalition a number of Germany’s 16 states which are responsible for policing have also expressed concerns warning of a lack of personnel to carry out

Germanized Shyzer, RoGer Man 👍👍
good!
Silly that’s it’s illegal. I don’t use it but it’s natural and no worse than alcohol or tobacco. May as well stop wasting police resources and prison spaces and make some tax on it.
Germans have always been very educated and smart people. The quality of their products outstanding. I'm glad such a big country is taking a step forward in this matter that has marginalized normal people for far too long
more drugs to mess up the brain
the uk needs to legalise too the drug industry is so much worse here it would solve so many problems
Finally. Tax it and pull the money from organized crime! Generate jobs. Empty prisons. Just to mention a few positive points.
It's amazing that people still think Marijuana will be a problem when alcohol is freely avaiable.
It passed.
I live in germany,man this is a historical day i want to cry…😭😭😭 we have a big garden im so hyped right now lets gooooooooo
Smart, very smart 👍
@german people they will raise your prices and give you less potent weed if they can't protect you from contaminated meat here in California we get taxed at 30% the weeds dry and it's very bad the biodiversity is gone in weed
LEGALIZE!
Wisdom plant
🎵🎶 oooooh ganza ganza..🥴🎶🎵
Great job Germany. Respect level gone up for your country
As an American that has experienced "legalization" , within 1 year of Germany enduring what consequences there are of the problems involved with drugs…the World will be changed in its entirity.
When you can’t enforce the law so you legalise criminality.
Hope the AfD reverse this disastrous decision.
Now Germans are going to see real heaven 😍😍
Illegal Market will continue…even if it is only for the tourists. Without shops there will be always some streetsellers
Good job
um …. it already passed. This entire news segment is outdated
its not even half decriminalized
It passed the Bundestag.
Jaaaaaaaaa.Yesterday I almost dropped the joint out of my hand because of my joy. Greetings from Germany ✌️✌️✌️✌️
I agree that’s what people don’t speak about.. black market cannabis is often sprayed with horrible chemicals
A war on children using medical marijuana for psyciatric conditions when alternative medicans could cause muscle spasms hyperthermia convulsions tachecardia and death?
My side effects from pshychiatric medications were like something you read about describing pesticides and war nerve agents and i want memory surgey to selectively remove those tramatic memories from my mind.
