as a german i feel divided, on one hand its a step in the right direction, on the other hand it doesn't go remotely far enough in my opinion.
@WallEx @misk As far as I see it, it is still (probably) the most liberal cannabis legislation in the EU. So… yay.
10 Dutch cities legalised weed not too long ago. They legalised the production and sale. The coffee shops and other shops in those cities all sell 100% legal weed. So, yeah…
@novibe Yes, but that's still just experimental / in a testing phase and how most coffee shops operate currently is a legal grey area. And I don't expect that to change soon, because ultimately they can't fully legalize cannabis for the same reasons Germany could not: it would conflict with EU regulations.
But wouldn’t it be possible for cities to legalize it locally only then? Like… every city?
