“Chronic cannabis use makes you stupid, to put it bluntly, and can also cause psychosis,” Thomas Fischbach, president of a German federation of doctors for children and adolescents (BVKJ), told the Die Welt newspaper.
Meanwhile, at Oktoberfest...
The drunken debauchery often leads to fights, aggressive behavior, and bierleichen — so-called "beer corpses," which is what locals call the many passed out drunks lying on the hill behind the tents.
Of course the counter argument to legalisation was published in "Die Welt", the right leaning newspaper from the Springer media group. The group which also publishes the Bild Zeitung which plays a big role in the rise of the far right in Germany and has a history of reckless opinion journalism which even lead to the shooting of a member of the student uprising in the past (Rudy Dutschke if you want to look it up). Fuck everything Springer.
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.
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.
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.
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
