Germany gives controversial green light to cannabis • FRANCE 24 English
Germany on Monday became the biggest EU country to legalise recreational cannabis, despite fierce objections from opposition politicians and medical associations. Under the first step in the much-debated new law, adults over 18 are now allowed to carry 25 grams of dried cannabis and cultivate up to three marijuana plants at home.

Legalising; by not turning smokers of grass into criminals is the right move forward. Nothing will be implemented that magically solves societal problems, but it’s the right choice. After all, real criminals are not hard to find…
Smoking canibis should not be a crime but binge drinking outside of the home should.
If you have permanent back pain etc and don’t want to take a Opioid Painkillers then Cannabis is a excellent alternative.
It’s not just for recreational use and is not a “drug” it’s a very useful “herb” that has been used for thousands of years.
Germans party
It might stop them murdering jews and starting wars.
It's not controversial. It's only controversial to some irrelevant conservative Bavarian alcoholic boomers.
Im all for it.
I dont do it personally but i am for RESPONSIBLE consumption of ALL THINGS.
Dont do it too much.
Drug related deaths??? From weed??? Please explain???
People that smoke are losers, just like drinkers.
Well done Germany! The government finally made a good decision!!! 👏👏👏
Worldwide legalisation! Join us.
Cannabis edibles have been wonderful for my asthma, my insomnia and my achy joints
Great for any sickness. Dabbing is great.
Many thanks to our German federal government and especially to Karl Lauterbach, our health minister, that I am no longer a criminal!
im from bavaria and look up our chief king minister markus söder. hes fighting against cannabis right now. and here you can still get in trouble. they say where you get the 25g. it must be bought illegal if you have some now. they are scared that nobody will drink bavarian goverment beer anymore
These racist governments should be forced to pay reparations for the lives they ruined through prohibition.
Beat move you can do
💪
I'm sure the pharmaceuticals who pay that politician are very upset.
Excellent 😊
Young people that face the highest health risks? Ummmmm what since when are people in their 20’s suffering from having the highest health risks
We don't want to be criminals ✊😇🫒
legalize cannabis it's not a crime
First they tell you "SAY NO TO DRUGS" then they figure if you can`t control it at least collect TAX on it!.
and the crime rate will drop, just wait and see.
Woot woot!
It's no longer controversial. Legalise worldwide.
FFS alcohol kills so many people
Finally!
With legalised alcohol it is a no-brainer.
Marijuana is overated…I used to smoke for nearly 8 years…Just a waste of money…Ofc if you like to smoke it go ahead…
