"Germany's Cannabis Legalization Sparks Celebration and Uncertainty"

Germany has legalized the possession of small amounts of cannabis for recreational use, allowing individuals to possess up to 25 grams and grow up to three plants. The law also permits the establishment of nonprofit "cannabis clubs" with a maximum of 500 members each. However, concerns have been raised about potential overburdening of the judicial system due to the amnesty for cannabis-related offenses and opposition from some federal states and political parties.

"Germany Enters Legal Cannabis Market"

Germany has joined the ranks of countries legalizing cannabis, allowing individuals and voluntary associations to grow and possess limited quantities of the drug. The law permits cultivating up to three plants for private use and owning up to 25 grams of cannabis, with larger-scale non-commercial production allowed for cannabis clubs with up to 500 adult members. Health Minister Karl Lauterbach emphasized the goals of cracking down on the black market and protecting children and young people, citing the increasing use of cannabis among young people and the stronger, more impure drugs available on the streets. Germany becomes the ninth country to legalize recreational cannabis use, while maintaining its illegality for minors and near schools and playgrounds.

"Germany Leads the Way: Europe's Stance on Legalizing Cannabis"

While medical marijuana is becoming more accessible in Europe, cannabis remains illegal for personal use in most EU countries. Germany is moving closer to legalizing recreational cannabis, potentially influencing other countries to follow suit. Malta currently has the most tolerant laws in the EU, allowing adults to carry up to 7g of cannabis and grow up to four plants at home. Portugal has decriminalized cannabis since 2001, treating possession of small amounts as an administrative offense. Several EU countries have pilot programs for medical marijuana, but access remains limited in some regions. The UN's removal of cannabis from Schedule IV of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs has opened the door to recognizing its possible medical uses internationally.
