Germany's Cabinet Okays Bill Legalising Recreational Marijuana Use

 


The legislation, which still has to pass parliament, would allow adults to possess up to 25 grams of the drug, grow a maximum of three plants, or acquire weed at cannabis clubs. 

Germany's cabinet on Wednesday passed a contentious bill to legalize recreational marijuana use and cultivation, potentially giving further momentum to a worldwide trend to liberalize cannabis laws.

The legislation, which still has to pass parliament, would allow adults to possess up to 25 grams of the drug, grow a maximum of three plants, or acquire weed at cannabis clubs.

The centre-left government of Chancellor Olaf Scholz hopes the law will curb the black market, protect consumers against contaminated marijuana and lessen the workload for the justice system.
