Germany Legalizes Recreational Cannabis Use
ai generated text
Beginning 1 April 2024, adults over the age of 18 in Germany are now permitted to carry up to 25 grams of dried cannabis. This change makes Germany one of the European countries with the most lenient cannabis laws, alongside Malta and Luxembourg, which legalized recreational use in 2021 and 2023 respectively. The Netherlands, known for its more relaxed approach to cannabis, has recently implemented stricter measures to discourage cannabis tourism. These articles concur that the new laws follow a contentious debate regarding the advantages and disadvantages of easier access to cannabis.
