Deutsche Welle: Marijuana is legal in Germany, but "cannabis is not broccoli"

Cannabis is legalized, in Germany. Adults can legally possess and consume cannabis.


According to the Ministry of Health, more than four million people in Germany occasionally or regularly consume cannabis, even though it was illegal until now.

You can have 25 grams with you, even up to 50 grams at home. Weed smoking is also allowed in public - but not during the day in pedestrian areas, if children and young people are present or within sight of children's playgrounds, kindergartens and schools. There is a prohibited zone of 100 meters around the entrance.

The Minister of Health, refers to a stricter criminal policy for the protection of young people. 

Anyone who gives cannabis to children and adolescents must expect a prison sentence. Adult consumption is allowed, but the amount and proportion of the psychoactive substance THC are limited for those under 21 years of age.

At the same time, an information campaign is planned, which is intended to warn young people about the dangers of consuming cannabis. 

Daniela Ludwig, former federal drug commissioner, remains relevant with the statement:

"There is no doubt about it: cannabis is not broccoli."

Just to mention, cannabis has been decriminalized in Kosovo, we are all waiting for the next step ;)
