"Germany Takes Steps Towards Marijuana Legalization with New Draft Bill"

Germany's Health Ministry has presented a draft bill to legalize marijuana, allowing adults to grow a limited number of cannabis plants for personal use and establishing social clubs for obtaining marijuana. The legislation aims to combat the black market, prevent youth access, and improve health protection. Under the proposal, adults can grow up to three plants, possess a maximum of 25 grams, and join social clubs with certain restrictions. The bill also includes estimates of implementation costs and potential revenue. The government plans to advance the home cultivation and social club pillar first, followed by a pilot program for commercial sales.
