Cannabis is clearly less damaging than alcohol. This is a no-brainer
Yes, NO BRAIN Power for cannabis 😂
It creates a society of degenerates, like yourself.
That depends how it is used.
Alcohol abuse and dependency is the problem, responsible consumption can promote good health. It's scientifically proven. Good quality wine, beer or liquor in moderate quantities is perfectly fine and have even been used for centuries as medicine successfully.
@@wadi5145 Alcohol is never healthy and damaging in any dose.
Germany is just the beginning...
The law was developed closely with the EU so that other countries could also follow a similar path.
The ball is now rolling in Europe.
Release the hemp!!!
the key for every country in europe will be the changing of eu laws. germany wanted to legalize it like canada, with commercial shops and taxes. but they couldn't do it because of the eu laws against cannabis and other drugs. germany did find a way around that just like malta and luxembourg already did few years ago. the biggest country in europe made an important first step in the right direction. it's only a matter of time that other countries will follow. keep fighting!
It’s less damaging to your health and to society than alcohol is.
By a country mile
Yes , geniuses Are around. Stoneheads
very true!
UK take note! Cmon get alcohol off shelves and put this up instead
Well keep the alcohol but legaliseing the plant yes!!
@@Iv-Wraithy-vI yeahhhhhhh
Well done Germany !
Hopefully soon it will be legal across all Europe 💨🌿
It shouldn't just be legalised, it should be compulsary.
Germany 🇩🇪 respect from South Wales 🏴
ah hey, the good part of the UK
Legalization has worked for Canada. It's been that way nearly a decade now.
yeah Germany saw how much taxes it can bring soon they want to legalize the whole industry for cannabis
UK is literally the Microsoft Internet Explorer of the world. 15 years behind everyone else and always buffering.
Funny, we Germans think exactly the same about the German IT infrastructure.
I don't have a problem with that considering alcohol causes more problems
Alcohol should be banned. Same with cigarettes.
That's the stupidest reasoning ever
@@OnlineEnglish-wl5rpYou're brainless. If i can legally buy poison (alcohol) which kills millions worldwide every year then i have the right to legally buy cannabis which has never caused an overdose or death in history.
@@OnlineEnglish-wl5rpnot really considering alcohol causes 3 million deaths a year worldwide and in the u.k alcohol is thought to play a part in approximately 1.2 million violent incidents - almost half of all violent crimes
Great news! The whole of Europe should follow!
the uk should follow
While Britain won the war, Germany won the peace. The more the UK follows Germany, the better
Hopefully a domino effect. Portugal did this years ago though, and nothing.
UK next
@@georgehenderson5470 I think it is coming in the american way, taxable dispensaries. the next cash cow
@@michaelwhitelam3112 although its still illegal, county durham police publicly announced in 2019 that they would not be pursuing small time personal grows or people consuming it, seems it might be coming.
Come on England.......wtf is wrong with this country?
Cannabis tax & revenues could save our dying NHS 😢
Looking forward to when the UK also legalise. Massive Tax revenues to HMRC, new medicinal use cases and less wasted police time dealing with cannabis related “offences”.
Yet again the UK is way behind. Typical
UK is ruled by an ancient cult of twats.
We are so behind…….. the mountains of money that would unlock in the uk 🇬🇧 ……. It’s mad to think we are behind on this.
We gamble and we drink we smoke cigarettes. Why is this industry being demonised so bad when there is lots and lots evidence to the contrary……. we drag on heels over something that could help the UK out a lot.
Because with taxing alcohol and cigarettes there is lots of money ....
It would certainly unlock a load, but bear in mind we are only behind for our on country's consumption. Other than that we are ay ahead. The UK is the largest exporter of cannabis in the world.
Obviously the great Germans are undefeated, MANNSCHAFT 👑😂
Cannabis tax & revenue could literally be the saviour of our NHS.
@@reefnreefer ignorance will collapse the NHS. The last decent thing about Britain
Honest question why is alcohol legal but cannabis is illegal in the u.k alcohol causes over 75% of all crimes in the u.k?
They tried to ban alcohol in the US in the early 20th Century - prohibition - it did not go well.
Lobbyism
UK politicians have money invested in alcohol & tobacco.
This will be a chilled UEFA EURO in June/July in Germany 😀.
It depends - it's not allowed to consume cannabis in or near the stadium
@@e4y34zdfg , yeah it's really hard for the police to control it. The fine for smoking cannabis in not allowed areas is in Bavaria 500€.
@@Pilzhirnaren’t most stadiums private? Only near public Sport Centers its forbidden.
@@untergehermuc , good point, but I wouldn't do it either - the fine in Bavaria is e.g. 500€ for smoking in public areas, whatever a public area is.
Yayaya for Germany 🇩🇪
I’m moving to Germany 🤷♂️
its only allowed to german citizens, who are in these clubs bro.
Der Wohnsitz in Deutschland ist bereits ausreichend@@rugu1100
Desweiteren geht es bei den Clubs nur um den legalen Bezug von Cannabis. Daheim anbauen hat nichts mit den Clubs zu tun. Genauso kann ich mein Gras aufm Schwarzmarkt kaufen die Polizei kann da dann trotzdem nichts machen. Ich muss nicht nachweisen woher der Kram kommst
@@rugu1100 no it´s not, no need for a membership in the club, greetings from Germany :)
@@rugu1100wenn er hier lebt, kann er ja. Und anbauen geht dann auch
Yes, freedom and no punishment are finally coming to Germany. Health protection and youth protection are strengthened. Hopefully soon throughout Europe
The potency won't be limited
From 18-21 the limit is 10% . No Limit over 21
Cannabis edibles have been wonderful for my asthma, my insomnia and my achy joints
I think it’s a good law if a person can grow their own plants. That way a person can ensure there are no unknown additives.
absolutely
Never thought I’d say this but wooooo go Germany 🇩🇪
Danke Bruder.
is a sad indictment that Germany has legalised cannabis before the UK
I've heard their comics are now funnier than yours too.
@@lrrrruleroftheplanetomicro6881German humor is actually really out there. Its just that most English people have a language barrier and therefore don't understand humor. They mistake not having humor with the German disliking for english-style smalltalk. I never heard a Brit or American say Germans have no humor, when they resided there or at least spoke the language.
Wake up people. About time it's a medicine not a drug
Moved to Amsterdam in 1989 after growing up in Jamaica; welcome to Earth Germany.
Amsterdam? 😂 have fun paying 20 Euros a gram 😂😂😂
Greetings and Love to one and all. From Germany. 🌴
Britain will follow in the next 100 years
Inshallah
Our Lord will only be 300 years away at that point, spending a few centuries stoned might make our coexistence more likely...
@@eieieiodownthepremierleagu5335 i mekk it 25-30 years, give a couple of years either WAY, at 'that point'...lol...
Meanwhile, Tories have it on lockdown so that they can monopolise it while others suffer.
Theresa mays hubby owns 12% of gw pharma. This is fascism…
Stop blaming the tories. The whole government dont want it legal because of pharmaceutical companies.
@@TheJReZone Lib Dems and Greens want to legalise it. Braverman wanted to make it class A.
And yet in the UK it is still an illegal offence just to smoke a joint in the street
It doesn't stop them though haha
Just walked through Brighton they are smoking everywhere
@@flowerflower1392 BrightON
All of Europe should follow!
And now German engineering will deliver some of the best home grow equipment to the market.
Germany has always been allowed to develop vertical farming equipment, this just means higher prices...
UK needs to get with the times though. It's been exporting it to Israel since the 50's I'm certain.
Critical Mass has been achieved..."Vorsprung durch Technik"...
I went out on my balcony at 12 and was let down that I did not smell anyone lighting up :D
Too many rich people making money from medical cannabis in the U.K. Theresa mays husband
The UK is draconian.
Come on Australia! Living In The stone ages here…
well done Germany!
Thanks. It took 30 - 40 years
come on UK!
A growing industry? In more than one way! 😅
Nice, well all EU should follow...
Cannabis and psilocybin should be legalised everywhere.
Mental health and chronic health conditions would drastically improve.
im smoking my first legal joint right now :-)
We just carry on being bled dry by street and state
Found love for my country again
Still wanna know how i'm supposed to get only legal 50g out of three legal plants... 🤷🏻♂️
Also: whatever they're talking about!!
There's gonna be no stores and no taxes to earn with!
No quality control, like medical bud.
Ridiculous af, people have the same amount of knowledge, as our politicians: 0
Taxes? Dude it's a damn PLANT, wake up
👶
I remember going to Amsterdam in the 80's and 90's and smuggling seeds back....
Well done Germany
Good news, for a change. Hopefully the UK will follow
Not legal in the UK, as its more profitable tax -free, and it's the politicians who benefit the most. Plus UK exports the most cannabis. Why make it legal when we can monopolize this plant and pay no tax?
Excellent!
🤗🙏
Praise the Lord...
Glückwunsche 🎉 Deutschland !❤
Yes in 3 hours I can smoke on the street 🥰😍😘
I hope UK can legalize too 😍🥰😘
well done Germany
Sunak and starmer be taking weekly trips to Germany, rollin down the streets smokin indo sippin on gin and juice, then deny the whole thing
Uk needs to come out of the dark ages and legalise for recreational were adults let us choose its medieval whats goin on wake up.
Unbelievable😢
Good news.
Finally. It’s time for Europe to get with the times
I hope this is a ploy by germany, to ensure the population learn how to grow it, and then prepare for a major industrial transistion and start a huge export to bring in some money for the country
Last persons opinion is so funny 🤣 he says legalization is bad for the youth, that means he has no clue of what black market has done to the youth. I hate dumb people believing everything.
Groovy.
Do people get stoned at sport centres ?
Yes many athletes use cannabis
There are places where the consumption of cannabis is prohibited: not within sight (i.e. no direct line of sight or at least 100 metres away) of schools, kindergartens, playgrounds, sports facilities, pedestrian zones between 7am and 8pm, not in the vicinity of minors, etc.
Let's see the drug driving accident rates next year
Great!
Well done Germany 🎉🎉🎉🎉
100 years for uk to legalized
No brainer, they’ve got it spot on
What could go wrong?
Nothing. Only huge benefits.
@@TheJReZone I guarantee it will result in mass mental health problems, which will impact the poorest most, making particular sorrow for parents and families
@@OnlineEnglish-wl5rpyou mean the way it didnt happen in other countries? 😂
deluded individual, the majority of people who want it legalised already smoke it so really, the statistics would remain the same
It's only partial decriminalisation, and not legalised at all. And because selling and buying is still illegal, there isn't really a cannabis industry... maybe a cannabis adjacent industry like growlamps, hydroponics supply etc. which had existed before and just gets a certain "gold rush year"
It is legalised. It's now legal to possess.
It's a partial legalisation along with decriminalisation.
@@RaRa-eu9mwmany restrictions still. partially legalized.
My Seeds are growing, lets goo :D
yes, we need this to stop thinking about recession!
This is definitely NOT the type of security door that protects our german gold reserves.
Better snatch up a bunch of Cannibus stocks 📈

Exactly what the uk government does it grows it look in to it
we are free now. kind of.
The potency will be limited ?what ..Good luck with that germany
yep, in the Cannabis-Clubs will be 10% THC. But no limitations on the 3 plants at home. I also think that this 10% will be a "problem" at the Clubs.
The potency Limits are only for 18-21 year olds!!
@@hehejo8568 exactly 🙂👍
only for people under the age of 21
yep, sorry, my fault.
its a start.need more plants at home.at leat 10
A growing industry... 😂
Nice!
All countries should do the same. And this is the only drug i support legalizing because of it's medical properties!
Literally helps weaken cancers defences so chemo works better. Some cancers it directly affects. Use the money for the nhs.
I would support the psychedelics too. Especially in the form of psychedelic therapy. It could work wonders for mental health!
Movie story:
Think about... There is a woman in a country. Almıst all people "took" her life all (money, works, colors, foods recipes, parfumes creams recipes, international all wprks relations, musics..... All.
They made her in nomoney pains, and have a movie series and most of them watch it. Her pains are only mıvie for them. In years, they broken all country republic worties... Because they already have all needs without money.
At end, she had all her money back andall they lost what they said "they already had". The movie tv channel owner lost evrything, too.
(This is only story. If it was true, all world should take their all. Because lots of world people already worked with nomoney for them. And gave her lifherights to her).
🙏🙏🙏💖
The reason why they made it legal to use it as a drug is because of the country's obsession with Snoop Dogg and his usage of cannabis.
😂🤡🐑
No. It was made legal because the politicans actually have a brain.
Wtf
He looks.like.a great specimen
Bad move. 1) legal pot is much stronger, 2) it has more pesticides in it
There's testing requirements to show no foreign substances.
Cannabis Social Clubs will also grow weaker varieties, and we finally actually know the strength and THC, CBD, etc. content of what we're smoking.
not really lol
@@benzo___ Yes, really. This has been the case in other countries. Once it is commercialized, big firms get involved and use tons of pesticides and increase potency.
@@militant_pacifist Nah, once big companies get involved, huge amounts of pesticides will be used for commercial cultivation, and potency will increase to increase market share.
Curb the black market and create a market
Not good for Darmanin amd Macron comm plan to be tough on drugs😂
