- German lawmakers have voted to legalize cannabis for private consumption. The new legislation allows the limited legal availability of cannabis, but with numerous rules, regulations and restrictions. The government says the main goal of the bill is to crack down on the black market and drugs-related crime. But the move faced considerable opposition from medical associations, the judiciary and opposition politicians.

How to be German:
1. Make a law
2. Make it complicated
Digga 🤣SO TRUE!!! It's best to forget to write something into the law, like the matter with the 1D-LSD 🤣🤣🤣Junge, Junge, Junge... kannste dir alles nicht mehr ausdenken!
Egal was gemacht wird, du wirst immer Kritik haben... Jetzt wirds legal dann passt dir die Umsetzung nicht...
Sei doch einfach froh und schließ den mund!
Hääää 😄? Aus welchem Grund schreibst du absolut offensichtliche, empirische bestätigte und vollkommen kausale Zusammenhänge [wie: "gibt immer Kritik" + "norm. Erprobungssystem mit automatischer Anpassung"] hier auf und versuchst zusätzlich anderen noch nahezulegen, dass diese sich freuen sollen (was ich im Übrigen mache - mein ganzer Kommentar war obviously Comedy🤗) sowie dass diese ihren Mund schließen sollen 🤣? Erklär mal bitte! Schlussfolgern sowie Humor sind nicht so ganz deine Stärken oder? @@switchcase7483
As a German, this cracks me up. We love our paperwork too much.
Da kann ich dir als ehemalige Mitarbeiterin einer Bundesbehörde (vor meiner Krebserkrankung) NUR zustimmen 😆! SAVE! @@Bananenbauer123
Germany is the biggest economy in Europe. It's about to be the highest now.
Sadly not, Cannabis Clubs won't be commercialized. BUT the law will cause less costs when it comes to prosecutions of small amounts, down to 0 for a maximum of 25g in public. So that will effectively result in more money for the state. Act 2 will take some time, but together with the Netherlands I'm sure that we can turn around EU law and make EU-wide full legalization a possibility.
@@cheebadigga4092 you must be german 🙂 It's pun, "high" as in "Ich bin dicht"
I see what you did here 😅!
@@textorijum ah :D yeah I'm Germany and I was too hyped to get the joke lol
Imagine all that sales tax they can collect from legal sales of cannabis.
In The Netherlands using of cannabis is allowed for decades. We don’t use it more, most people try it and leave it, some use it just sometimes. Heavy users are rare. In mine town the no trouble is connected to cannabis, if there is a problem it’s always related to alcohol.
And harder drugs
I was reading this news and I just thought, I hope it is replicated in my country, the prohibition policy is not going anywhere, I don't know with stronger drugs, but with cannabis it should just be legal.
Yess, I've been telling people this, that when I hung out with native people in Amsterdam, they all told me that it's mostly a faze they passed through when they were young and then got tired of it. People don't realize that the secrecy and prohibition makes it exciting, fueled by pop culture. Let's see how cool it is to smoke a joint in your US rap music video in like 30 years 😄
People who smoke way too much weed just under achieve, but are otherwise pretty decent members of society
Every other drug ends up harming society/community when abused

non germans can not fully understand how big this realy is, we are a country where people have it rly hard to change theyre mind, even when presented evidence that they are wrong. The fact we now made it at least so far that consumers no longer have to feel like criminals is HUGE
Hey man I live in UK public opinion on cannabis changed a longtime ago but our government will never give us these freedoms.
It goes even further. When they came up with it at first I thought they are only going to legalize it in stores and gladly grab all the tax money coming from it. But legalizing a convenient home-grow option and relying on a non-profit system of local gardening clubs as another option, has positively surprised me. They won't even commercialize it, that's super progressive!
will get revoked again by cdu.
@@kryphons9138 You can't unring a bell
they tried to do it the commercial way but the EU won't let them. So next step is to do Model Projects for 5 years and then they evaluate after that and see if it works out@@winnyderpooh

Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!

As an ex cop, I can honestly say that I'd never dealt with a violent person who was baked.
Never.
Alcohol induced violence occurred daily. Prescription drug withdrawal violence occurred daily.
Cannabis does the complete opposite, and that's why it's illegal in the U.K. Your governments don't want happy and relaxed people.
It's illegal because it turn you into an emotionless zombie if consumed regularly. You might not hurt others (besides the reek), but you hurt yourself if you stop caring about having a job or friends.
@@i.c.wiener2750 And thats the "nanny state" that you care so much about when it involves anything else. Being told you can hurt yourself on red wine everynight but can't ever light up a joint. Educate yourself. Actually take in what people are saying about the topic next time instead of this boomer "emotionless zombie" take.
@@senorbob2909 How about you educate yourself? It's super hard to become an alcoholic, since too much alcohol makes you not want to drink anymore.
It's super easy to regularly smoke and be a functioning member of the society. You can't even go grocery shopping while shitfaced.
The problems I mentioned in my first post come from regular smoking and it's something no one (besides smokers who quit) will talk about. The often mentioned "studies" on how dangerous certain drugs are will not mention this, because "drive to do things" is not a measurement that can be taken.
If you follow a principle of everybody should know what's best for yourself, you should legalise all the drugs, not just pick one out of the bunch for whatever reason. Also the help an addict gets should be minimised since choosing the miserable addicted life is what they wanted.
@@i.c.wiener2750 This is like a human screening plan, survival of the fittest
As an American who lives in a legal state it is just laughable we haven't legalized it yet federally when its decriminalizated in 80% of the country & legal in over 53%.
You know that the German Governement sees their next election as lost and hopes that legalisation of kush will save them.... NO WAY,

It's just another source of gerontogenic air pollution. THC is one thing, but smokables are purely a negative.

They should also be this tough with alcohol. I’ve never seen a stoner act aggressive after a joint.
I agree. You can go into a store and buy a shopping cart full of alcohol and people will cheerfully ask you if you're having a party, but if you buy more than 5 grams of weed: oh no!
Just because mentally unstable people are aggressive doesn’t means you should control alcohol, alcohol only causes dopamine spikes and later makes you sleep, the drunkenness is basically a person wanting sleep and if you annoy a person who is extremely tired then ofc this person will be aggressive
@@stiegelzeine2186 wrong! Not all people drink and fall asleep. Don’t categorize everyone. If you’re an alcoholic just say So.
@@Shh007 I am telling medical facts you can’t deny facts, the body gets tired because first you lose the dopamine spikes because the brain stops accepting dopamine, then it also starts adenosine production and the carbon dioxide also makes you have less energy which causes tiredness
If you’re an extreme alcoholic you may withstand the tiredness but normal people will give up faster
Just look it up mate
The internet exists you can look it up anywhere you’d probably even find TH-cam videos about that
I know an Englishman living in Munich who was basically put onto cannabis by a prison therapist. He when to Hamburg originally, and ended up in prison after fighting with policy while drunk. The prison therapist identified that alcohol was the root of the issue and asked him if he liked any other drugs that werent likely to make him aggressive. He said he liked weed and the therapist said that he knew a dealer in Munich.
Ged has been out of prison since 96.

As a Dutch neighbour... FINALLY! And wow, even 25 grams?! That is 5 times the permitted amount allowed on you here in the Netherlands!
Kun je echt alleen vijf gram hebben in Nederland? Vijfentwintig klinkt voor mij meer redelijk.
(Sorry for my poor Dutch, it's my 5th best language)
@@Spacemongerr Volgens de wet mogelijk wij tot 5 gram bezitten. Dat wordt gezien als de maximale hoeveelheid voor 1 individu. Boven de 5 gram wordt je volgens de wet erkend als een "dealer", omdat je meer bezit dan 1 individu mag hebben.
Dus de coffeeshop mag ook maximaal 5 gram verkopen aan de consument per transactie. Meerdere transacties achter elkaar bij dezelfde individu is niet toegestaan.
Ik vind persoonlijk 5 gram ook weinig. Binnen 1 week moet je alweer een nieuwe hoeveelheid halen om het aan te vullen. 25 gram lijkt mij redelijker!

Yeah but the real question is how much will they pay😂 I don’t wanna see the prices

I started doing drugs since my teenage. Got addicted to fentanyl for over 6 years. Fentanyl addiction actually destroyed my life. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 2 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Congrats on your recovery. Most persons never realizes psilocybin can be used as a miracle medication to save lives. Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here.

I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Australia.

Yes he's Dr.medshrooms.Lsd and psilocybin are amazing teachers along its dmt mah dudes have safe trips all. Shrooms are blessings from nature.
As a non-smoking German, I am convinced that this law is a step in the right direction. Gang criminality and violence are completely out of control, and at the same time a huge amount of resources in Police and courts are used to harass people who basically do no damage to others. I had countless uncomfortable encounters with drunk people making trouble. In Germany that is not only normal on Saturday nights, even on Wednesday mornings you have people at the central stations, who are so drunk that they piss themselves. I never had such encounters with people who smoke Cannabis. So why would I want my taxes to be spent on something, that doesn't bother me?
I hope that the Police uses the freed up resources to lower the violence that has exploded over the last 5-10 years.
Much of the violence in the world is caused by amphetamines...many police around the world use amphetamines regularly...
I’ll stop drinking alcohol now and smoke once a month for that.

Here in the UK We're still stuck in the dark ages. I've not smoked for 20 years but I should have the choice and the benefit for some people's health and the economy
Once I googled some weed related stuff and I saw so many UK websites where they openly sell Cannabis with THC. Especially those "Cali Weed" packs. Is it that easy?
@@ralfzacherl9942 I don't know about the websites. But it is very easy to get hold of but you only get whatever the strain they are growing and most of the time they are growing the strongest strain they can get. I would like to choose from the hundreds of strains how different they taste, the different effects it has on you.
@@ralfzacherl9942 Sounds fishy to me.
trust me bro when i say we as germans are also stuck in the dark ages regarding lots of topics
Wise comment andy
congrats from Canada
I can't wait it's growing so nicely starting flowering this week
Still hard for me to wrap my head around this ...i'm a german and i'm smoking since 22years... To see that this is finally happen is freaking epic for us🎉🎉🎉🎉
Congrats. Drastically shortening our lives, one joint at a time.
@@notoriousfly9260 smoking is obviously bad for your health, you can just eat it if you want to use it safely.
Congratulations from an envy Dane!
@@notoriousfly9260 Man, you must be fun at parties.
You should listen less to the studies paid for by your governments and abused to tax people more...@@notoriousfly9260 That stuff happens on all levels of commerce: Gov pays for research that is supposed to research : "Why X or Y is bad" then they get results and Gov. gets to fine people and tax them even more, cus "pork is unhealthy" or "Cow farts produce alot of methane = less proteine for the cows" but also "cow meat is also unhealthy! = more TAXES!!!!"
I don't really smoke anymore, though I used to a lot, for both medical and recreational purposes. Congratulations Germany. This is a necessary road.
leave that medical out of it ;-)
Thank you. Big hugs from bohemian forest.
You come back sometimes 😂
Congrats Germany 🎉🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳🥳
Waiting for England now
Finally an end to this ridiculous ban. I don't even use cannabis, but it's obviously crazy to keep spending money on fighting a drug that's on the same level of harm as alcohol - or even less.
Alcohol if far far more dangerous cannabis is not dangerous at all
@@PackWoods-st3oh cannabis can be very dangerous, psychosis are no joke, believe me. Its true that Alcohol is far worse but denying the health risks of cannabis, especially if u smoke alot is in no ones best interest.
@@spakkx Yeah thats been disproven
@@spakkx when was the last time you read something about Cannabis? 2016? Science is available for everyone, there is no excuse for spreading false information in 2024...
@@ItadakimasuCha @Boiled-Oden more like the exact correlations are not fully understand, thats not disproven. Cannabis is one of the safest drugs out there, but we cant act like it got no effects on your body and brain, that would be foolish and counterproductive.
It shouldn’t be ilegal in the first place
Thank you!!!! 🎉
why tho
@@marsz3l64 because this plant as never killed any one directly other than the 2 tons that fell on the head of a doc worker
we have a cannabinoid system in our body why? without it we wouldn't feel nothing,
its been consumed for thousands of years and banned for less than 100!
just like you feel like your allowed to have a drink (man made poison) we have the right to consume Mother Nature
@@marsz3l64 Because as a non smoker, i dont want myself or my young children inhaling 2nd hand smoke that will affect their brain. I dont want to spend my summer in the garden smelling drugs, thats not fair.
@@kurze3215completely dramatic overreaction. People aren't going to be stood outside your house breathing it all over you 😂
Now the UK please??? Have a great day!!!
Germany 1 England 0 Scotland 0 Wales 0 NI 0
Ffs it never ends!!!
Congratulations to Germany from Poland x
German Engineering just got smarter.
Cap🧢
oh yes
Best comment ever
Are you really ready though for what will come out of it? 😂
It's already over engineered as heck, now add "you know what would be cool, bro?"
you're probably right, German engineer might get more creative, hopefully
we made it greetz from Bavaria ❤❤❤
Freu dich nicht zu früh, König Söder wird das noch blockieren
Bevor die Bayern rauchen dürfen werdet ihr nen eigenes Land wirst sehen Söder wird das regeln :P
junge, du tust mir so leid. ihr werdet noch so lange schikaniert werden... :D
let me rephrase that... "you made it germany greetz from bavaria " 😂
wrong not everywhere in public and under heavy restrictions
Poland love marijuana,congratulations Germany 🎉
It's like a dream coming true... I still can not believe this is happening.. I am so happy.
Hahaha, I would feel this way too! Congratulations, I am happy for you! My next trip to Germany just got more fun.
Me too, mate. Me too! We finally made it!!! 💚🙏🌿🥦
Höchste Zeit 🇯🇲
way to go Deutchland!! I love you!
I have legalized it for myself. I live in Finland, hemp was very important cultivation plant here, first marks of hemp have found here 6000 years ago, they banned it 1960 and the one and only Finnish landrace hemp was destroyed 100% 😢
About time Britan followed this example.
We wish.!!😅 The bloody government is 💩
Will never happen with the corrupt Tory politicians England has now. Unless it involves doing bidding for banks or becoming a landlord they are not interested.
I really don't understand why, we won't :(
As Polish neighbour I'm more than excited! I'm packing and driving to Germany tomorrow 😅
Only German citizen can buy weed, so better have some contacts.
@@ChoJun69 It think this will be easy to get around, did they ever say you have to be a citizen ?
@@atlantikjcx7449 yeah, CannabisClub only for citizens. But you probably can find a way to buy, especially after the law goes live, even now people smoke it when its illegal for everyone.
@@ChoJun69 That's racist !
@@atlantikjcx7449 I mean people already smoke it when its illegal, if you have friends that can buy it or even random people that give it to you and you dont get caught by police, i personally dont see a problem.
For citizen part yeah, its part of the law, tourist cant come from Poland or Lithuania for example and just buy weed at the corner store, need to show you're German. Maybe eventually they'll change it? No idea, need to wait for April first for this to go live and probably a year if not more to see the results.
while in Italy it becomes increasingly illegal
Momentan beziehe ich mein CBD von Italien Hydro grow Outdoor. Gute Qualität habt ihr da ❤.
that law will allow people to grow 3 plants, right. but this law also says that you're not allowed to have more than 50 grams at home. 3 plants can produce 300 grams or even more if you're doing it right. but the law is the law 😂 made by experts.
Obs nobody is comming to your house to check your plants. But it is hilarious that they choose 25 g for carry that's over any legal country I think.
Check out the exact 420 laws in the Netherlands. They are just mindboggling weird. 5gram max, 5 plants are sometimes allowed, sometimes not. Some get a warning, others get evicted for the same amount of plants.
Even the CBR, the Dutch DMV, allows medical marijuana patients to drive, but the police can still fine you when you smoke weed and drive.
Shops can sell but not buy. Get it?
will be interesting to also see how germany handled people getting their weed for selling yes. Netherlands Canada and thailand recently had the same problem of shops buying from dealers until they start growing their own. Even if they grow that comes with a lot of security expenses
@@Reflectart
you grow 400-700 gramm with 3 plants in 3 month so make the numbers again
In Canada legalization has worked perfectly. There are no criminal gangs in the marijuana game anymore because it’s cheaper and better to buy it at the dispensary solved a lot of problems for us.❤ and made money for the government🤑
This is huge for cannabis legalisation worldwide!
any politician that argues the health consequences of weed, while booze is legal, is just being a politician.
Wonderbaar!
Congrats to my fellow tokers in Germany! so nice to see more countries legalizing a plant that has so many wonderful health benefits =)
If only they had done this back in 1939, I'd like to believe alot would have been avoided
They fugged themselves up with morphine and thought they are gonna be fine.
Agree!!
Yes i think getting their soldiers involved with meth instead was the wrong way to go
Ah yes, the topic involves Germany in any sort of way and here you have it: Your random WWII comment.
Ditto!
Just now you realized it ? - Fools Politicians
I’d rather deal with most people who have had a dose of cannabis than alcohol. Even watched a friend kill herself drinking at 38, she had two children and 4 brothers , we just couldn’t help her.
All over the world we can see how prohibition failed. The war on drugs did so much harm everywhere. Let's try to make at least parts of that right.
Alcohol will always be worst and yet cannabis is still persecuted instead of just selling and taxing the seeds
6:00 when she says prohibition didint work out and numbers in consumers always rising hahaha.
planning on moving to netherlands/germany.. are visas expensive for those?
from where ?
Can australia pick up the pace please
It wont have a choice soon
Man we are so far behind it’s not funny.
Australia is a proper nanny state.
You can buy meth pipes but not a bong 😂
Australia is a nanny state
After much debate? What hundreds of years of debate? This is just another corporate thieving of what should be a small seller market.
too bad they keep moving the date forward
Not anymore. April 1st is the day.
As a Belgian, being next to both Germany AND The Netherlands, I can only hope our government will join the program. Likely not tho, knowing my country 🤣
*Finally...* Is it really that hard to give your citizens what they want every once in a while? I´m not even asking to get rid of corruption, push renewables or any of the hard stuff. Just give me something that that makes it remotely bearable to sit through the next Bundestag debate.
the 3 plants rule is interesting, but there is a problem with the 25 gram allowed to have rule. we have seen this in Netherlands aswell and there have been lots of courtcases because of it. The problem is that when u harvest your 3 plants you automatically have more then 25 grams of marijuana in your possession which is illegal and u can get in trouble for. the suggestion that u can harvest 3 plants and have less then 25 grams is absurd. also you never know how much marijuana is growing on your plant. and when you harvest the marijuana it is moist and therefor much heavier then when its fully dried. if the police enter your house and they weigh your harvest it will be 3 times heavier then when dry, so a mini mini harvest of a very small plant is going to already weigh more then 25 grams. this will cause problems and like in the netherlands there will be people that are going to be prosecuted for this and they will ask the judge to rule that they are innocent because they couldnt control how much weed there was on their plant etc. but the reason why the policy makers do this is because if you allow people to have lets say 2 kilograms of weed then it will become very easy for criminals to trade and transport weed and this is a very large industry the illegal trade in weed in netherlands / germany , because with the schengen borders being open you can sell easily to people from all over schengen area. for instance in the netherlands police estimate that there is 8 times as much wed grown in the netherlands then consument so all of that is being exported which will also happen with weed grown in germany when they allow this 3 plants in your own house rule.
You ask the right questions but first of all, our Health Ministers approach is based on 2 pillars.
The first pillar is what they put into law right now. Culture Clubs with a subscription model that needs the registration with your ID . 2x25g per month of purchase allowed.
They probably do this to evaluate the real number of users. (Also its 50g allowed at home, 25g in public, but yes, i know what you mean)
The second pillar will follow after 2 years of evaluation of the first pillar. Supposedly with licenced shops. More differentiated laws for driving under influence. (how high can the bloodconcentration of THC be, after it is illegal to drive etc.)
3 Plants is actually not that much, if you grow it the normal way, without heavy usage of fertilizer. Around 75-100g per plant dry.
i understand they will evaluate and make changes. but i think there will definetly be problems with how much are you allowed to have in your house and grow in your house. for instance in the US when they had the medical marijuana rules u also had the situation that growers could grow like 5 plants orso per medical marijuana user that signed up to them. and this ment that they would try to maximise the amount of weed per plant with like enormous trees with more then a kilo of cannabis dry per plant. @@patrickdergroenr1247
one plant can produce 300-700 gramm the time to grow is 3-7 month so now count how much you have grow in this tome
Wird keine Sau kontrollieren ....solang man nicht übertreibt. Für sowas hat die deutsche behörde kein Personal . Das Gesetz mit den 3x Pflanzen und 50g ist so zu verstehen das man jetzt darf aber als deutscher hat man schon die Botschaft vom Gesundheitsminister verstanden. Einfach besonnen bleiben und nicht übertreiben
Hope here in Holland They will do the same thing grown for own supply
Nice! Maybe Ill visit one day
Good move, especially for people who can use for medical purposes, grown their own favorite strain😊
This is awesome
Come on England, everyone else is doing it
Let me tell you as an American that it’s great the legalization of cannabis
