According to the plans (not actually law yet):
- private citizens will be able to grow a limited number (I think 5?) of plants, with the produce used only for their own consumption. Passing it to others will still be illegal (though consuming it with others on private property would be very unlikely to be prosecuted).
- non-profit "Cannabis Clubs" can grow a limited number of plants per member (again, I think 5). Membership is limited to max 500 and members have to be 18+ years old. Clubs can't be near playgrounds/schools/etc. and can only hand out a limited amount (I think 30g) per month to each member, who can't consume it on or near the club's property. The weed also is limited to a max THC and the club's properties have to be secured to a high standard.
- account42 3y agoVery German to make up completely arbitrary rules like this rather than just legalizing it outright.
- tfourb 3y agoThere are valid considerations at play regarding keeping weed away from minors. There is also a legal issue because Cannabis is still classed as a controlled drug by the European Union and all-out legalization is not something that the German government can actually decide without corresponding EU-wide legalization. And that won't happen, because there are still a number of EU-member states that firmly oppose legalization.
