“Much to the joy of many of its citizens, and perhaps to the chagrin of a significant number of others, Germany has just decriminalized marijuana. Adults in Germany can now carry up to 25 grams of cannabis for their own consumption and store up to 50 grams at home, as well as keep three plants for home cultivation. Public consumption will be allowed, so long as it is not within sight of children or near sports facilities. … While the move comes with these crucial caveats, it is still a major step for a country that until now avoided stepping into the weed abyss. Across the pond, many Americans are still waiting to gain the freedoms Germans now have and as time passes, more Americans support the move.” (04/17/24)
