@WallEx @misk As far as I see it, it is still (probably) the most liberal cannabis legislation in the EU. So… yay.
10 Dutch cities legalised weed not too long ago. They legalised the production and sale. The coffee shops and other shops in those cities all sell 100% legal weed. So, yeah…
@novibe Also, (I think,) weed is technically still illegal in the Netherlands, but for example possession up to 5g is tolerated by simply not enforcing the law.
Germany on the other hand fully legalized possession of up to 25g (50g).
Yes but in the cities that legalised it the limits are different. For growing and possession.
I wonder how it works given you can grow up to three plants, but the yield from that would be far more than 25g
I think they for sure are gonna change it. That really makes no sense. One plant will can give more than that if you even marginally know what you’re doing.
@novibe Yes, but that's still just experimental / in a testing phase and how most coffee shops operate currently is a legal grey area. And I don't expect that to change soon, because ultimately they can't fully legalize cannabis for the same reasons Germany could not: it would conflict with EU regulations.
But wouldn’t it be possible for cities to legalize it locally only then? Like… every city?
