Gemini summary:

Germany has become the ninth country in the world to legalize cannabis. The new law allows individuals to grow up to three cannabis plants for personal consumption and to possess up to 25 grams of the drug. Cannabis clubs will also be allowed to grow and sell cannabis to their members. The law is expected to come into effect in April 2024.

I fail to understand how you can only possess up to 50 g of weed at home. You're allowed to have three plants and one plant produces normally over 100 g. What.

Makes no sense at all! I just pulled 10 oz from a single plant in a 60x120cm cabinet. Guess you'll have to smoke & eat the entire plant immediately!

Edibles and extracts are still illegal, so no

Yes, the law is still very restrictive, in some ways more restrictive than before even. Calling it a legalization is pretty dishonest, it's a partial decriminalization at best

[-] orrk@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

no it is very much legalization because now there is actually a legal pathway to acquiring, processing, and handling the stuff

German government: "It's illegal to bake anything else than yourself"

Yes, but he is right, a single plant can easily produce over 100g of dried buds

You have to destroy the surplus

[-] DarthFrodo@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

It doesn't make much sense, but conservatives are already losing their minds over the 25g we're allowed to carry "nooo, we're enabling drug dealers with those massive quantities". If they went for 500g at home, there would've been a lot more negative press I imagine and it might not have gone through. Maybe it will be adjusted a few years down the line.
