Gemini summary:

Germany has become the ninth country in the world to legalize cannabis. The new law allows individuals to grow up to three cannabis plants for personal consumption and to possess up to 25 grams of the drug. Cannabis clubs will also be allowed to grow and sell cannabis to their members. The law is expected to come into effect in April 2024.

    The cannabis clubs are bullshit… But I guess the only way to circumvent EU law :/ still feels like a half ass solution. Well… Better than nothing

      Yeah dispensaries are better but is there something in particular you don’t like about social club style laws?

        There’s probably going to be membership/sign up fees and required unpaid shifts. For someone who might want to smoke a blunt once or twice a year, thatoght be excessive.

      These are really common in Spain, IMO they’re…not great.

      As an old man who prefers edibles I really cant stand the smell/smoke/atmosphere.

      I would really appreciate if our governments allowed us to be the adults we can be, and this would include being able to open a “more refined” dispensary for people other than who they think uses “The marijuanas”.

        Well, you won’t get that smell in German cannabis clubs, since the law doesnt permit smoking there. But you also won’t be able to get edibles at a club, only buds. So if you prefer edibles you still have to make them yourself, and it will still be illegal

          Wait, you can’t make edibles yourself to eat? No cookie?

            No, sadly not. But of course the likelyhood of getting caught in your own home is slim, unless you do something stupid or live with people that report you to the police
