    It would at least help if they stop assuming the only reason a foreigner from the free west would come through Germany is to sell weed.

      But weed is the devil’s evil hand designed drug to get them to take harder drugs and listen to metal /s

      On a more serious note: a lot of cops here sadly still see it like this and i am afraid that it won’t stop just because a law is there. To be honest I except the law to just last, similarly to Thailand, till the next election. Germany just like the most rest of Europa will vote pretty heavily leaning right and they basically swore to “destroy” that law. Thanks for listening to my ted talk Here’s a friendly PSA: The permitted level of THC in blood/urine while driving has not been increased.

        It is going to be increased from 1ng to 3 which is not a lot but something. The whole decriminalization is not a lot but something.

          I really would like to see a source to that since AFAIK “§ 24 a Straßenverkehrsgesetz” doesn’t get changed…

              True, there is currently a interdisciplinary working group that will determine if and how much it will be increased by but it could very well lead to no increase.

      Did this actually happen to you? I’ve been to, and even smoked weed in (discreetly), Germany many times as a tourist without issue. It was just annoying that it was technically illegal…but no one ever attempted to drug test me or ask me about drug use at all.

        Yes, I didn’t spend a lot of time in Germany but it happened several times. I traveled by train and they claim the train stations are where people do their business
