To get anything like that off the ground in Germany is quite a feat and an ordeal because it's such a conservative country.
Things here need to be discussed a million times until they are dead.
Until I have this in writing I will not believe that it is happening because Germany.
Ha yeah, I still don't fully believe its happening. There could be a new drug minister that just says "nah bro, its illegal cuz its illegal" you know.
But I think EU was in the way of legalizing too at first.
It was not really necessary to ask the EU for permission. Other countries did not do this.
This was a bit of a strawman thing to ask the EU and then the EU says no and you can blame them.
Idk what countries legalized canabis, I think only spain. Netherlands only encrimilzed it but its still illegal there. But idk how this is exactly done there with the shops.
They all use some sort of loophole to make this possible in some way.
These social clubs in Spain are due to some way of getting around the law, so are coffee shops in NL.
I don't think these countries asked the EU if this is all bulletproof. That's what I meant with other countries did not aks the EU.
Makes sense. Germany is this strict cultute that wants to have everything perfect. I mean, I live in germany. Its teenages who don't give a fuck and older people who have everything perfect. And many nerds.
