- echoangle 3y agoDepends on the location, don’t try that in Bavaria
- throw_0815 3y agoThat very much depends on the Bundesland where that city is located. Good luck doing that in Munich. Personally I got prosecuted for (ordering!) 3g of weed, although later that got folded. Still trouble, though. Also I can still get problems with my driving license for that same amount (even though that alleged possession was in no way connected with driving any vehicle).
- throwbadubadu 3y agoWhy, you also only ever buy one liter of milk, and otherwise should seek counsel? Orn lets make it less abstract and say one sixpack of beer?
- weaksauce 3y agoan ounce is about 14 grams. 5 is slightly more than an eighth. if you don’t live near the dispensary and want some for a month or a few months an eighth is not really that much. i don’t think seeking help is an appropriate response here.
- jamiek88 3y agoAn ounce is 28 grams. But your point stands.
- weaksauce 3y agoyeah i see ads for 14g all the time and for some reason that stuck in my head as an ounce but 3.5 grams is an eighth of an ounce so 5 is slightly more than that. either way more than 5g is a reasonable amount to have on you if you are going to buy it for a longer timeframe.
- jpsouth 3y agoAn ounce is 28 grams, 5g isn’t that much flower at all in the grand scheme of things. I presume it’s an attempt at stopping dealing, maybe to minors? But it feels asinine to have such a limit. Like another poster says, should this extend to a single crate of beer? One bottle of spirits? One pouch of tobacco? Having a 5g limit just means I’m going to make more frequent trips to the shop to purchase more cannabis, just let me buy a pound and leave me to it.
- shagmin 3y ago> Having a 5g limit just means I’m going to make more frequent trips to the shop to purchase more cannabis That and possibly seeking out cannabis with a higher THC concentration.
- jpsouth 3y agoTrue, as much as that’s not quite what I’d do because I like to just maintain a high, I’m sure a lot of folks would. Hell, on the weekend I’d switch it up to the higher %s to be fair. NL has this same rule of no more than around 5g, I’m not 100% how much the exact limit is but it’s nearby 5g.
- pantalaimon 3y agoThe amount used to depend on the state, in Berlin up to 16g was considered a small amount for personal consumption.
- bitfilped 3y agoThat's a few joints as best, are we really declaring people as hopeless addicts for having more than a handful of joints on them? This seems similar to saying someone should never be allowed to have more than an 1/8th of alcohol on them at any time. Seems silly when put in perspective of what drugs are quantities are already legal.
- Gud 3y ago5g is way more than a few joints. I smoke weed frequently (daily user). I go through 5g in maybe two weeks.
- bitfilped 3y agoI use frequently as well, you must roll shorties. (Non-infused) pre rolls are typically sold with 1g each for reference.
- Gud 3y agoAbsolutely I do! My point is if you are going through 5g in a matter of days, you probably have a problem usage!
- bitfilped 3y agoI guess my point is we allow people to buy handles of alcohol (a much more problematic and harmful drug) at a time, even though consumption at that rate is also problematic. So why should we treat marijuana differently?
- r0ckarong 3y agoWhat is this "a city"? Berlin? Definitely not in Bavaria.
