A new law partially legalizing cannabis has come into effect in Germany.
At midnight, hundreds gathered in central Berlin to celebrate the moment. Under the legislation, people over 18 can now possess up to 25 grams in public for personal use and cultivate up to 3 plants at home. But the legislation has its critics, who point to health and law-and-order concerns.
Germany's conservative opposition says they'll revoke the law, if they get into power.

It's been recreationally legal for years in my US state and it's been nothing but a boon. Granted the leaders aren't using the HUGE piles of new tax money they're getting from it as well as they could be but the businesses it's started and the jobs it's created. Like for eg in my lol populated state of Maine in the US and in my city that's about 19k has a couple dozen small cannabis businesses and 90% of them are locals growing here and selling it in their satellite shops. I tell ya, it's really nice to be riding my motorcycle, bicycle or car with the windows down in the summer and smell the fresh cannabis in the air when I go by each shop. And know I can swing in and grab something real quick with no hassle. It's literally a dream that came true.

Tbh, it is one judging from how it impacts the brains habit forming circuits (i.e. dopaminergic pathways in the basal ganglia, if you care for that sort of thing), smoking from a youngish age onwards leads to lasting changes in how your brain works. Making you more receptive to other potentially addictive stuff. Nonetheless, I think the illegality has actually been a huge factor it in acting as a gateway drug. If you smoke weed, and think "wow, this is actually quite fun", and are fine the day after, even when it happens after months you might seriously consider, whether there are other drugs also not as harmful as they are made out to be. So, the illegality of cannabis might have actually led many ppl to experiment with other illicit substances. I am glad, cannabis is decriminalized.

I agree. People have been raised and fed with scare campaigns from governments their whole life, so they think weed is more dangerous than it actually is.

Many are aiming at offering micro-doses eg. small doses that only alters very slightly the perception and senses. Some mainstream newspaper are already telling about the benefits of psilocybine. The population is being prepped. These products will very likely follow the same steps as cannabis : first for therapeutic ueses, then legalized for the masses.

Those who smoke and drive are causing carnage. They are either over chilling to the point of causing major backups as they crawl through the streets. I am talking up to 20 miles under the speed limit. Then there is the smoke itself. It smells like an overripe dead skunk and the smoke that billows gets non smokers high and puts even more people at risk. Like alcohol, smokers are impaired when they smoke. Common sense needs to be put into consideration as well and unfortunately will have to be put into law at some point because some people don't have it.

I don't know how anyone, and the CDU can argue legalization increases crime. Legalization helps to combat Weed as major source of revenue for crime groups, while also making it safer for the consumer, as there's less of aa risk of it being mixed with other drugs, making a risk of overdosing.

It's just so ridiculous - "Isn't this law telling young people it's okay to smoke weed?" Dude, there's alcohol and tobacco ads on billboards throughout town, selfservice cigarette dispensers on the streets and smoker's rooms/areas at every public building, cigs and alcohol out in the open at the freaking counter in every supermarket, you can buy hard liquor anytime anywhere and consume it anytime anywhere - that's not telling young people that it is okay to take (some) drugs, but some law they won't know anything about? It's even prohibited to smoke weed in the immediate vicinity of minors and in most public places, which I find a good thing btw, so even less chance for them to get in contact with weed. If the conservatives actually cared about (the health of) young people, the rest of their program would show that - alcohol and tobacco would be much harder to acquire and much more hidden (especially tobacco, blegh), they would not have blocked the law limiting what ads can be run in between children's shows and they would actually invest in young people instead of siphoning as much capital as possible to their CEO buddies.
