Germany partially decriminalises cannabis | BBC News

Germany has partly decriminalised the use of marijuana.

Under the new rules, which came into force on 1 April, over 18s can possess up to 25g of cannabis in public, and adults can grow up to three plants per household.

But people will not be allowed to smoke cannabis within sight of schools, sports centres or in “pedestrian zones” between 7:00 and 20:00.

Supporters of the law-change say it will help kill the black market and improve quality control, while police unions are warning of real-world harm.

    And now we see that it was a big mistake as gangs from the Netherlands increase their presence in several regions in Germany.

    All the while, freedom of speech is going down the drain.

    Why’s everyone so excited about this?..

    I love how out of touch the BBC is when it comes to all drugs.

    Germany will become the Qing Dynasty after the 1860s

    Fun fact : not much changed feelably since its effect.

    The CDU screams about the end of society and paints the devil onto the walls, yet I haven’t seen any negative effect of it yet. I haven’t seen junkies openly causing a ruckus , I havent seen high as a kite kids and not much else changed.

    People that smoke it will smoke it, if it is legal or not makes hardly any difference in that sense.

    But fact is it isn’t a taboo theme anymore, people can openly admit they smoke it without risking anything.
    In addition those that do consume it now don’t have to live in their "shadow world" anymore and can be a more open part of society… or have it easier to ask for help if a problem truly exists.

    If anyone asks me… this genuinely isn’t a bad deicision.

    And if Söder wants it banned again … then I vote for banning beer aswell, as it clearly is the entry drink to harder things like vodka or rum.

    Look here’s the deal. As an EU citizen, isnt the german government discriminating when they prohibit me from joining a club?



  17. @frankmiller5862 on October 15, 2024 at 8:56 pm

    The US Drug Enforcement Administration is gearing up to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug placing it on the same level as Tylenol and codeine.
    Cannabis stocks went nuts today on that news.
    This will accelerate the need for THC breathalyzers. Go Cannabix. BLOZF



  18. @sion7651 on October 15, 2024 at 8:58 pm

    and here in austria we are stuck in the middelages. alcoholics are ruining their lifes but that is allright cause money.
    alone the centers we have for reabilitating alcoholics is insane! never had any problems with people who smoke weed.



  19. @kxdsh on October 15, 2024 at 8:58 pm

    of course the BBC is against weed



  20. @Callum-yl6gw on October 15, 2024 at 9:00 pm

    Look at that, sharing joints, rolling up while having a convo about life/goals, no fights… just relaxation as weed obviously does



  21. @pawernielsbroek3971 on October 15, 2024 at 9:00 pm

    25 grams? We in the netherlands we cant have more than 5 grams 😅😮



  22. @Notgenerationalwealth on October 15, 2024 at 9:01 pm

    UK already exports a shitload of weed. Just makes no sense why they think its alright to supply other countries but ourselves. People going to smoke it whether its legal or not so why not just regulate it.



  23. @ken15cia on October 15, 2024 at 9:03 pm

    There is no study that proves that.. its does exist about alcohol.. they try to make it culture (hard drugs)



  24. @Lejeron on October 15, 2024 at 9:08 pm

    The one time i was high, i had no hangover afterwards, no addictive feeling, and an extremely positive feeling/outlook on life for like 1/2 days later. But with alcohol, too much of it can kill you, make you vomit, pass out, violent, addicted etc.

    I absolutely hate western governments, so half-arsed with this legislation. 25g is legal to carry but an ounce isn’t? What’s the bloody difference!? You gonna have police walking around with scales weighing peoples personal stash? Let people carry as much as practically possible and let people grow as much as they want, otherwise the black market will never go away. No one likes drug dealers, they’re shifty weirdos, people want to buy from officially licensed shops where it’s safe.

    Meanwhile in Lithuania, just across Poland… We are still the only country in 21st century to completely criminalize marijuana. CBD products are kinda legal but with extreme regulations. And this is just sad. Sadly, it does not look like it’s gonna get any better any time soon. Current governments plan was to decriminalize it, but opposition goes against it. We have new parliament elections in October, but as social democrats are most likely to take the win… It’ll be another 4 years at least with no progress whatsoever.

    I currently live in Nevada in the US where it is legal both recreationally and medically. I would love to move to the fatherland of my ancestors and explore my homeland but I would need to have a better system set up there where I could get the amount I need in edibles every day. Having debilitating migraines, arthritis in my spine, bursitis in my shoulders and hips, and many other things makes it difficult since I can’t take prescription or over the counter pain medication except cannabis.
