Better late than never

It's not even legalization, more decriminalization which even tho is a step in the right direction isn't a whole lot. It can't even be sold like in Amsterdam, it's just social clubs and homegrowing.

Don't get me wrong I love the plans, but there were promises to legalize completely and not just decriminalization.

First of all, 25 grams is the maximum you are allowed to carry/own. I said it's a step in the right direction, which it is and the politicians promised legalization not decriminalization. I also think it's very good that they did anything at all since it's a problem around the globe, decriminalization just isn't going to make all the problems go away since u can still get into problems.

I also know about the EU Laws and or Bundesrat and why they can't legalize completely yet, but still they promised us.

It's hardly late tbh - only 8ish countries (and the ACT and a few US states) have actually got legal recreational cannabis!
