I am an immigrant in Germany and I have C2 German, but reading the news makes me doubt that. I swear there were articles saying legalization of marijuana was certain, then off the table, then up for vote, then failed, and then it happened but there wasn’t much news about that.
There was a piece of law that passed on weed. Here's the wiki:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_cannabis_control_bill?wprov=sfla1
The German cannabis control bill (German: Cannabisgesetz) is a bill passed by the German Bundestag in February 2024, and the Bundesrat in March, that legalised the adult (18-years-old and over) use of cannabis in Germany, as well as the personal possession and cultivation of limited amounts of cannabis by adults in Germany, beginning on 1 April 2024. Adults in Germany are allowed to possess up to 25 grams of cannabis in public and up to 50 grams of dried cannabis at home. Each individual adult in Germany may also have up to three of their own cannabis plants at home. As part of the bill, adult-only non-profit cannabis social clubs with a maximum of 500 members will become legal in Germany from 1 July 2024.
Don't worry, as a German I was in the same limbo. It's often because media quotes someone from to political opposition and sells it as facts. Then you have all the boot liker media who treat CDU/CSU as ruling party even though they currently aren't ruling. Cannabis was also difficult to understand because the law was put in place with delay and strong restrictions.
