Croatia: Mirela Holy: "I expect that we will legalize marijuana, but be among the last countries in Europe."

Just few days ago, the German parliament endorsed the legalization of cannabis.  What is the situation on Kosovo, we do not know as no one can't even mention this issue :) but yes, cannabis has been decriminalized in Kosovo and the situation in Croatia and whether the country will follow Germany's steps were investigated by croatian RTL journalists.  The new regulations in Germany take effect from April 1st. This means that growing three marijuana plants at home or carrying up to 25 grams of weed will no longer result in legal consequences.  Germany's legalization aims to combat the black market and enhance the protection of children and young people.  Former Croatian Minister of Environmental Protection and the author of the "lex cannabis," Mirela Holy, which aimed to legalize marijuana in Croatia, shared her views with RTL journalists.  While Mirela Holy welcomed the decision of the Bundestag, she emphasized that the allowance of three plants might be sufficien

Temple of Together: Temple of Burning Man for 2024

The design of the Temple of Together at this year's Burning Man by Caroline Ghosn beautifully depicts the light that emerges when we connect with all parts of ourselves and the unity we share with all living beings. The dominant motif in the design is the depiction of two hands joined in prayer, with the flow of the sculpture's energy merging and then erupting upwards. The joining of two hands is a common gesture in almost all spiritual traditions, symbolizing unity, humility and respect. This is literally shown by the two hands forming an arch at the entrance of the name "6:00". The temple is represented more abstractly in the Neo-Gothic pointed arches that are repeated throughout the design, which also recall the layered, geometric shapes and symmetry of the Art Deco style of a century ago. In this time of global challenges and conflicts, we are called to find strength in unity and be seen, loved and inspired.  This year, Burning Man takes place from August 25 t
