After partial cannabis legalization, what are the pros and cons? | DW News
A new law partially legalizing cannabis has come into effect in Germany.
At midnight, hundreds gathered in central Berlin to celebrate the moment. Under the legislation, people over 18 can now possess up to 25 grams in public for personal use and cultivate up to 3 plants at home. But the legislation has its critics, who point to health and law-and-order concerns.
Germany’s conservative opposition says they’ll revoke the law, if they get into power.

Gänsehaut
Can you imagine the amount of tourist that will flock to Germany 🇩🇪 they’ll come in the millions worldwide Germany could see a rise in GDP From this play but weather its healthy that’s another matter 😂😂
You can’t die from cannabis and I’d hardly say that it’s addicting.
Good job
Why 25 grams? Might as well make it an ounce or less…25 makes no sense…
still illegal in Tx 🤦🏾♂️😐
they should do this in America.
And I thought Germany had some sense smh😅
free fair and street legal. contact the local dealer.usually behind the main drag
Legaliza Brasil 🌱🪴
Would people in Germany rather see a few people mingling about smoking their cannabis or would they rather have a bunch of people sitting in front of their business shooting up with hypodermic needles .
"We’re gonna take your recently aqquired weed away!"
Great campaign strat there. Not out of touch at all.
WEE NEED ZEE GREAT REZET! ….
two years later: cannabis legalized in germany xD
Weed is gateway drug, yeah a gateway to your mind! 😊
The biggest annoyance is the smell. It’s a pretty bad smell in public settings.
lol, diverse group
0:39 ok, definitely someone involved in a cannabis club
1:25 was not expecting the suburban house dad look
Uk always late to the party cannabis should never have been illegal.
Why would I listen to what a doctor thinks about him drug therapies ???? 😆
Driving licence and hemp inside body after 1 week? P.
AUSTRALIA NEED THIS!
Think of the benefits of tax and healing people 👍🏻
Decriminalize nature !!! ✊ ✌️
There’s nothing to celebrate at all. Criminalisation is still ongoing. If you’re apprehended by the police with cannabis in your possession, they can still charge you, if you decline to give up the source. Before the end of summer there won’t be any freedom for weed smokers. And also you can’t grow more than three plants. What if they’re all male? The associations you’d have to join to grow them on a more professional basis, are to be approved by the municipal administration in the first place. There won’t be any coffeeshops. It’s a sham.
this law will make people who are not smokers to become such, which is the hidden idea of this legalization. I mean regular tobacco smokers!
ich liebe Germany!!
Germans realise this is a fantastic opportunity to generate another tax revenue stream by regulating a harmless extremely productive and versatile plant. Congratulations Germany for the smart decision
darisi basimiza 😊🎉
Congratulations Germany , I hope my country follows your lead , love from Australia.
this woman has defo never smoked a spliff in her life
Law and order concerns. " hey man got any ice cream? " 😂😂!!!!!
2:31 😲😳AAAAAAAAAHHH! We caught you! She’s high as a kite everyone!! 😵💫🚬💨
Weed is a gateway drug? Lot’s of people that smoke a lot of weed end up reducing/quitting both smoking and drinking. And they’re the healthiest they’ve been in their adult life.
weed helped me get on A class drugs.
😅😅😅 April fools 😅😅
its funny how german weed users look just like the stereotypical american stoner but then they just speak german instead of english
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations guys, I don’t think this will change the underground market because people will just want to get their stuff and not worry about growing it/being in a social club
Onelove to the highest degree
she’s stoned
🎉🍀🫶🏼
While I’m happy with the legalization I don’t agree with the gentleman being interviewed that legalization will not increase usage among youngsters (adult). For minors, it won’t change much – they will have similar/lesser access to cannabis as they do to alcohol. Legalization will certainly improve the quality of the product available so that’s good.
I’ve recently started micro-dosing with cannabis edibles and it helps me with stress and anxiety so I’m happy to see more liberal laws. I hope a certain distinction can be made between smoking cannabis and consuming it as an edible – the latter is significantly better for the health without the risks that come with smoking. In fact, I think cannabis edibles may be significantly safer than all other substances available on the market for either medical/recreational purposes.
Same as we have introduced in Malta (EU).. people who used to smoke whatever the drug dealer sold to them are now smoking good quality and tested weed and can choose!!
got chucked out of a downtown bar once because the barmaid had to come over to our table to tell us we were unrecognizable behind our smoke screen
I guarantee this will BOOST Germanys Economy financially 🤑💰💸
There never was a ‘war on drugs’, it’s a war on people.
Damn i didn’t know Germany was so eager to self destruct, red light districts, nude saunas with both genders, shutting down nuclear power completely etc and now this.
Keep playing up the war in the 40’s to shun the new generation and remove all "limiters" , the country will be a slum in the coming decades.
And just as an offshoot comment on this topic: People that smoke weed are not someone you want in your life.
Kids could take cars and alcohol and drink drive round the streets if they wanted to, and yes they probably do in some cases, but it’s so irregular. Making weed legal doesn’t change their ability to start consuming it, it is already so readily available in many parts of the world and the dangerous things already available to them that are already controlled through the regular acts of society are proof that it’s not such a concerning issue
It should be legal everywhere
Stunning
Fair play Germany
