Since April 1, Germans are now allowed to consume and cultivate cannabis, under certain conditions.
There was a festive atmosphere in the center of Berlin on the night of March 31 to April 1. More than 1,500 people came to smoke cannabis freely. With the legalization of cannabis, there is no longer any need to hide to consume. From Monday April 1, Germans have the right to possess 25 grams of cannabis on their person and 50 grams at their home. At home, they can even grow up to three plants. In a few weeks, associations will open, they will produce and sell cannabis.
Illegal for tourists
The main reason for this legalization is the fight against trafficking. But many fear perverse effects. This legalization does not apply to tourists, because you must have a fixed address in Germany to be able to buy cannabis.
