Germany Legalizes Possession Of Cannabis.
Germany Legalizes Possession Of Cannabis.
The bill to legalize marijuana nationwide in Germany was signed into law and is
now in effect. This came after the German government announced an end to
prohibition and began plans for a legal industry in 2022. Adults are now allowed
to possess up to 25 grams of cannabis and grow up to three plants for personal
use. From July 1, adults can join "social clubs" where they can buy up to 25
grams of cannabis, with a cap of 50 grams per month. Social clubs cannot be near
schools or playgrounds, only one for every 6,000 residents, and have a maximum
of 500 members. There will be an official analysis within 18 months to see
legalization's effect on youth safety.
