    Congrats, Germany, on doing the right thing. If tobacco and alcohol are legal, weed absolutely should be as well.

    It’s been legal in Canada for a few years now and society hasn’t crumbled as a result. All it means is more tax dollars, less organized crime, and less people being thrown in jail for using a relatively harmless substance.

    Note: I don’t use myself, it’s just a no-brainer to legalize it.

      I mean, we do still have a lot of politicians saying that it’s super dangerous. Söder is a good example, always saying how bad it is and that he doesn’t want drugs for Germany. He also drinks beer all the time btw. His party (CDU/CSU), who have been in power for the last 16 (or something) years before the current government also said the first thing they’re going to do when they’re back in power is make it illegal again.

    How is anyone supposed to grow if you can only hold 50g at once? Even just one plant will produce more than that.

      I’m sure that means in public to transport like, taking weed with you to your friend’s dinner party.

          Then yes, their government has no clue how much weed one could grow on their own. Saves me thousands, annually. Still glad their country is coming around to being sensible in this regard.
