Better late than never
It's not even legalization, more decriminalization which even tho is a step in the right direction isn't a whole lot. It can't even be sold like in Amsterdam, it's just social clubs and homegrowing.
Don't get me wrong I love the plans, but there were promises to legalize completely and not just decriminalization.
First of all, 25 grams is the maximum you are allowed to carry/own. I said it's a step in the right direction, which it is and the politicians promised legalization not decriminalization. I also think it's very good that they did anything at all since it's a problem around the globe, decriminalization just isn't going to make all the problems go away since u can still get into problems.
I also know about the EU Laws and or Bundesrat and why they can't legalize completely yet, but still they promised us.
Yeah I know politicians lie to get votes, it was just such a big talking point for young people who only voted for them because the were going to do that, but now they don't.
I'm still happy at least something is happening and they don't just pretend that they never promised something like that.
Never been to Barcelona, how is it there? U just sign up and can buy weed right?
