Honestly, with all the shit going on, nobody really cares anymore here.
I mean, it’s the half-assed draft that was announced a long time back, but still, better than nothing
I actually like it. Legalize it but make it non-commercial so nobody profits from other people’s addiction.
I don’t mind people making a bit of profit off of it. Gambling, tobacco, alcohol and all sorts of other addictive things are for profit, so why exclude cannabis?
As long as the money is moved out of the hands of career criminals and moved in to the hands of people that can use that money to benefit society via taxes and such.
I agree, as long as it’s well regulated it should be fine to sell at a profit.
But maybe the problem for legislators is that the definition of well regulated is unknown, as the legalization in itself is kind of an experiment, and we don’t know for sure how it will work out.

I would advocate for treating other addictions the same way too.
Alcohol and tobacco ads are targeting young people because they’re more likely to develop a lifelong addiction if you start them early enough. Gambling machines are set up to make people believe they can beat the system, so they stay hooked.
I just don’t think these should be legitimate business models.
Wake me up when they also update the traffic laws. Positive drug test because you smoked a week ago? There goes your drivers licence.
German traffic laws are not my area of expertise, but can you also lose your license if you drank alcohol a week ago?
It’s not entirely a 1-to-1 comparison, but weed doesn’t have That long an impact on reaction times.

Then how in the world does that work for beer and other alcohol sales in Germany??
Not familiar with german politics - would you mind giving a quick tl/dr of how it is supposed to work?
From an article here: The draft law would make it legal for people over 18 to possess up to 25 grams (0.9 ounces) of cannabis and to cultivate up to three plants for personal use.
There will also be approved so-called cultivation associations. Often referred to as “cannabis social clubs,” they provide their members with homegrown cannabis products.
State Representatives Fail To Block It
because they got high
Germany’s gonna need it considering the far right are on the verge of consolidating power again
Also Nuremberg was a joke. Half of the CDU and the whole domestic intelligence service was built by Nazi carder’s.
Now Germany has again Nazis in the house but the conservative party does nothing to fight them and the int. does not have any structures to do anythibg against them.
I’m glad that Germany is doing this. Marijuana is better for you than tobacco and no worse than alcohol, people should have the legal ability to decide whether or not they want to use it.
