Cannabis clubs allowed to open in Germany | BBC News
Cannabis clubs are set to open in Germany following their legalisation at the start of this month.
Germany partly decriminalised marijuana use on 1 April this year, allowing over 18s to possess up to 25g of cannabis in public and adults to grow up to three plants per household.
But for those wanting to just purchase the drug, growers associations or "social clubs" can now be established with up to 500 members, as of 1 July.
Members must be over 18 and live in Germany, and the clubs can grow and distribute the drug on a strictly not-for-profit basis.

Because weed prosecutions are always based on volume and not strength it has encouraged growers, dealers and even smokers to move to ever stronger strains. An analogy with alcohol would be instead of starting out drinking a pint of beer people are starting out drinking a pint of spirits. Also with illegality comes lack of education and community consumption.

That's not good, here in America, young people are driving high in marijuana and soo many people die by car accident.
The significance lies not solely in the act of smoking and its effects but in the environment and context in which it occurs. These elements crucially shape the resulting experience. The interaction between the amplified senses during smoking and the influence of the environment creates a bidirectional relationship that can significantly alter the effects of the substance. Typically, sativa strains, known for their daytime suitability, are preferred in social settings to avoid the lethargy often associated with indica strains. Conversely, indica-dominant strains are more appropriate for home use or before bed, and at the end of it all, I was happy to hear that Germany has made a massive shift and changes in policy, along with the rest of the world.
Recreational!

Yea it because of the Eu law . Thats why European countrys only have gray area like in the netherlands or for personal use/growing at home. For fighting againtst kriminal networks only a full legal market like in canada can make a real impact. But growing at home and clubs are better than nothing
Would people come around to watch if i grow more than 3 plants? I'm just thinking
fits the EU's curious, inquisitive, maybe even exploratory, scientific, etc. nature. I know Europe is HUGE on rules and bans and RESTRICTIONS and REGULATIONS but would be nice if such countries, as INTELLIGENT as they so often are in their laws especially regarding dangerous chemicals and substances, potentially......it would be nice if they would see cannabis for what it REALLY is. We don't even completely know THAT yet, frankly. About time. Britain needs to stop FREAKING OUT if they are and legalize weed, weed stores should be popping up and lounges no different a revenue driver for the Royal paradise than anywhere else. I know this is Germany and applies to other European holdouts as well, but Britain, too, needs to wake the h UP on cannabis, a country capable of being very STRICT and I would say Puritanical but that would be North America..........Cromwellian? No..........Britain has a tendency for rules and order and formality, but they ALSO have a tendency to appreciate REAL science, tolerance, and respecting others, compassion for those who use medical marijuana, another example. Show THAT side of Britain again, and legalize cannabis post-haste. The war on drugs is NOT going to continue as is forever. Governments around the world had better start waking up and realizing that the war on drugs is a war on human NATURE, with a supply of product that will NEVER end, not for potentially thousands of years resource-wise, if one can call drugs, which are also used for medicinal purposes, some yet perhaps unFOUND YET, etc and had been throughout civilization, both medically and recreationally. For a country so welcoming and kind, minus the far-right, Britain needs to wake UP on "weed" The EU will soon be dealing with substances like MDMA and psychedelics, etc, marijuana absolutely is not the last and this train is NOT stopping, the horn blaring louder and LOUDER every year, or less, perhaps . UN regulations included. That is all. Other countries will soon follow Germany, even if the UK REFUSES to get with the times. End, though SO MUCH MORE could be said.

Legalisation here in the UK, and across the world, is the only common sense way forward. I, as a smoker, feel like I constantly have to look over my shoulder, and have negative judgement from others; this wouldn't be the case if it were legal. #420 #204 🌿

"Advertisers have caught on to the appeal of feet pics and are utilizing them as a distinctive marketing tool. This unique trend has opened up new avenues for brands and businesses to reach their target audience in a creative and attention-grabbing way.", it another way of saying "Look at the soles of my feet" to your internet customers and clients! Which in Arab culture usually means an extreme form of sexual domination, death, an intention to kill or provokation
Still not sure it is much of a good thing though...basically life is made more and more miserable with the cost of life and all but now they are allowing people to drug themselves to cope with it... That's how I see it. Still stealing in your pockets with outrageous prices of housing, grocery and taxes though...just that now you are allowed to smoke so you don't care or worry much about it anymore 🤷🏻♂️

Tangentially with respect to cannabis, I dare say it's not an infinite amount of time before somebody lets a monster loose on and in the internet on people leaving snail trails everywhere about what they're doing, what they're thinking, what they influences are, how they change in response to feedback, and every completely is a measure of the person interacting with a feed, producing value that's extracted from them as sacrifical time is liquidated like drawing blood from a cow, and how they change inside as a result of what the exposure is making them into, or making them do, or making them think, and so on. And nothing any person can ever say or do can ever overcome statistics applied to them like a rodent in a laboratory, there never was any choice or freedom, the human never fully understood their determinism according to reducible logic, and as their superiors, he have to maintain this understanding for them. There is another form of extremist and another form of terrorist among us now, probably watching second or third hand, if not forth or fifth, if anything you say goes anywhere, and it does whether you want it to or not among so much sensory information in real tome everywhere that we moght as well live in a virtual world and forget our bodies, and dispose of them
Some people always knew. It ia a generosity that I am espousing it that I expect no thanks for, or praise or any good feeling, though I'm neutral about it. Some people watched something strange, suddenly we all looked like apes, like humanity of us had gone off as we were shameless apes, naked and over our heads. Then a series of derangements and degenerations, in which people stopped sharing one common interface with the world, and started entering their own universes, all split up and only really like a hologram that it was hard to pretend didn't really exist, as it was just an optical trick. And then something like turning the human psyche into spam by reducing it to an affective model and articulating people like finger puppets, poking the brain with various insults that have predictable responses, and those strange preloaded shots being prevalent over natural behaviour, eventually something like a total wipe out of nautral behaviour due to people getting stuck at the interface thinking it's the common one everybody shares where you can really go places when it was really a phone and they couldn't move. Then they got stuck like flies on fly paper and the rest has been bleeding them with slow liquidation, and this parasitic insitution becoming more powerful than the government, more powerful than any force in the world, an ecomomic movement of mass suicide, sold as our saviour, when it really produces miracles by bleeding people and offing them, humans in, capital our and no humans out
