A Milestone in German Policy: The Evolution of Cannabis Legislation

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcOwULIa7_8



Germany, recognized for its stringent regulatory framework, has embarked on a groundbreaking journey towards cannabis legalization with the introduction of new laws on April 1st, 2024. This historic development reflects a progressive shift in attitudes towards cannabis, signaling a departure from previous approaches.

The recently enacted legislation signifies a significant step forward by decriminalizing the possession of small amounts of cannabis for personal use. Individuals caught with up to 15 grams of cannabis will no longer face criminal charges but rather be subject to fines or community service, demonstrating a more lenient stance towards recreational use.

Furthermore, the legalization framework permits the cultivation of cannabis for personal consumption, albeit under strict regulations. This provision aims to empower individuals to take control of their cannabis use responsibly while ensuring adherence to established guidelines.

Importantly, the new laws emphasize education and harm reduction initiatives to foster informed decision-making and mitigate potential risks associated with cannabis consumption. This comprehensive approach underscores Germany's commitment to prioritizing public health and safety.

Additionally, the legislation opens doors for research into the medicinal properties of cannabis, encouraging innovation in medical treatments and pharmaceuticals.

Germany's embrace of cannabis legalization not only mirrors evolving societal attitudes but also positions the country as a trailblazer in progressive drug policy. As the landscape continues to evolve, Germany stands poised to lead the way towards a more enlightened approach to cannabis regulation.

The Half-Legal Cannabis Trap - POLITICO

The Half-Legal Cannabis Trap - POLITICO LOS ANGELES — Everything about Kelvin’s job in a neighborhood southwest of downtown seemed like any other assignment, if not a little more exciting. The 40-year-old, who had previously worked as an electrician, had been employed since 2015 by a private security company that contracted him out to guard marijuana dispensaries. In 2019, he was protecting one of the thousand or so cannabis stores in California’s biggest city—part of an industry that has grown less and less underground since 1996, when the state first legalized medical marijuana. Kelvin, who asked not to be identified beyond his middle name to avoid professional retaliation, doesn’t smoke pot, but says the gig felt like the future. He grew up in a time when other Black people he knew in Los Angeles would go to jail for possessing even small amounts of the drug.
