      This is very important though. It’s forbidden on EU level. If Germany manages to change this or barrel through, this could open up legalization in the whole EU. Some countries are just not doing it, because it’s forbidden on EU level and it’s hard to get through that.

      So I believe, aside from Germans, a lot of European watching closely how this develops and even small steps are already good. We just need to see this through.

        So this is to be true legalization and not just decriminalization? Also, hasn’t Luxembourg completely legalized it?

          True legalization with an asterisk.

          We have a two-step plan.

          The first step is possible without changing EU laws, it’s basically something like the Spanish social clubs, but a bit better. People can join clubs that are legally allowed to grow weed and are monitored for quantity and quality. They pay in and then get a certain amount each month. Also we can grow ourselves with a certain amount of plants.

          There is a number of random restrictions to appease the conservatives, like no smoking in public in front of a school and to certain times.

          The second step will see Germany go head-to-head with the EU, which will be the actually sale in shops and/or pharmacies. For that purpose there will be pilot cities that will start this in controlled measure while the government is ringing with the EU.

          In both steps, there is legalization, although with a bunch of random restrictions. Albeit, most people take it over no change at all. And in the end, the restrictions are mostly public, so what you do in your flat or house is your thing and the police can’t get you for smoking and growing there.

        Germans will force it to be legal on EU level only after they will dominate the production of cannabis. That’s how it works.

          Germany would never use it’s economic advantages to it’s own benefit at the cost of the wider EU… … …

          NL is tolarated but technically still ilegal, CZ also have some THC products, but only really little THC content is allowed.

          In germany is kinda tolerated also, if the police catch you with some probably nothing will happen -except if you live in sights… Bayern-
