Germany scales back cannabis legalization plans after EU talks.

Germany's health and agriculture ministers have presented a scaled-back proposal for cannabis liberalisation, which includes decriminalising limited amounts of the drug. The revised plan follows talks with the European Commission and would allow individuals to possess up to 25 grams of cannabis for personal use and grow three plants per adult. The proposal will need approval from the German parliament's lower house, but officials said an endorsement is not needed from the upper house. The plan faced criticism from opposition politicians who oppose liberalising cannabis laws.
