-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline

- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's what's happening in Germany right now. with cannabis.
They legalized it on April 1st and at the same time somehow not. They call it partial legalization. You can have 25g in public and theoretically smoke weed in public. but not in sight to schools, playgrounds, sports clubs, etc. All around there is a 100m spell. In cities that's like everywhere .And you're not allowed to smoke in front of children. The law is so vague that it can be in such a way that you have to change the side of the street when a child comes towards you. Or you would have to put out the joint.In reality, it is very difficult to really consume 100% publicly.
At home you can grow up to 3 plants. But you may only have 50g of dried material, the rest must be destroyed. You are not allowed to make chemical extracts . You can only buy in cannabis social clubs which are allowed to be at. You must be a registered member there. You can buy 50g a month there. The cherry on top at the moment is that the CSC are only allowed to start in July, so there will only be harvests at the end of the year. Since you can't have any selfgrow yourself since the beginning of April, you can't have legal weed yet.
The whole law is planned to make it fail. You can later say 'we tried'. And make it impossible to really legalize for the next few decades.
Edit: You cannot sell or share any material. To a party you have to smoke your own joint.
Its out of sight, but at most 100m. So if you're not visible where you smoke you're fine.
Online apothecary is a way but also growing before April has been retroactively legalized. So as long as the police can't proof you imported it illegally it's also fine.
The law is not perfect, but its the best possible outcome given the political realities and i think of it as dooropening with further reforms still coming.
I think you didn't get my point.
I am not a marijuana patient, so I would have to lie about that. And again I would have lie to the police. It's exactly about the fact that as a leisure consumer I have to lie after an alleged legalization to get weed.You're still in the prohibition mindset. I don't want to lie, trick or hide after it's legalized.
Don't talk to the police and you don't have to lie. Only selling cannabis is illegal. They can only use you as witness against your dealer.
