Lol this article describes the law very poorly. From a club you can get up to 25 grams a day, for up to a maximum of 50 a month.
Thats nonsense. 25g is the general limit of what you are allowed to have on your person outside of your home starting april. 50g is what you can have while at home. So basically 25g to carry around + 25g stored somewhere at home.
The whole thing with the cannabis growing clubs is something coming later this year. These will mostly be about getting seeds, saplings and advice.
That's still quite a lot. I thought less tbh, at least on your person.
Its more than you will ever need yes. You arent allowed to sell or gift it to anyone but 25g is insane for self use so they basically acknowledge that people will ilegally distribute it, but just wont care if u dont let urself be caught in the act.
It's not that much, less than an ounce. Snoop smokes that in a recording session.
It's a lot, but less than most single pot plants will yield (typically 100-200g, but sometimes a lot more), I imagine that might be annoying for people who grow their own, but then again I don't see how it can really be enforced.
I think the only way would be to get caught with, either more than 25g on you or selling it
Yes, what you're saying doesn't negate what I'm saying, and viceversa 😅
I'm just saying the article makes it look like you'll be able to get 25 grams a day with no further restriction, and that's not true. That among other issues with the article.
Oh you are right, sorry for that. I didnt know the monthly distribution limits were a thing for the clubs and thought the article writers just hallucinated that.
FAQ, in german only sadly but translating is ez nowadays i guess https://www.bundesgesundheitsministerium.de/themen/cannabis/faq-cannabisgesetz
The law is slightly nonsensical, in particular regarding amounts and such. It's giving written by someone who's never seen a weed
I can already get seeds and advice, the clubs will locations where they grow for all members.
Are edibles a thing in Germany or just flower? I can’t smoke but Im really good at eating gummy bears. Haribo needs to corner this market.
They're a thing as long as you make them. There's not gonna be commercial cannabis
Ok. I think I’m still ok with that. I think I read the legal limit for growing your own was kinda high. Here in Canada it’s only 4 plants.
It's only 3 plants in Germany, but you are not allowed to have more than 50g in your home. Which is a bit difficult to control and achieve, but we take what we get.
I’m so sorry the EU is so far behind Canada but I find it hilarious this is the only metric where we’re ahead. If they legalize it the way it is here, and if I can get by B1 at least, I’ll be applying to move there instantly
