Law allows growth of up to three plants for private consumption, holding 50g of cannabis at home, or 25g in public

After long discussion and frequent delays, the legalisation is finally here to stay.

    From the article:

    About 7 million Germans are estimated to regularly use cannabis. The government has said previously that many users rely on the drug for medicinal reasons and that the new law will also improve the quality of cannabis consumed by growing numbers of young people.

    Imagine the U.S. government giving a shit about people like this.

    Also, it’s not just personal use-

    Adults will be permitted to grow up to three plants and possess small amounts of cannabis from 1 April, and three months later it will also be available in licensed not-for-profit clubs established to grow and distribute the cannabis plant.

    So not only will you be able to get it, the people who get it to you can’t be big corporate shitheels.

    I recently found out that I most likely qualify for German citizenship thanks to Germany’s own bureaucratic legal system. It’s sounding more tempting every day.

    I wish I liked the sound of the German language more though.
