Once the law is implemented, adults will be allowed to possess up to 25 grams of hash; to have three cannabis plants at home, and to grow and buy cannabis in special “hash clubs”. The governments hopes that the new law can help reduce sales on the black market, reduce the number of drug-related crimes and provide better protection for consumers.
As you can imagine, there is a huge resistance to the new law among lawmakers from the opposition parties and various opinion leaders. The German police union is also opposed to the government’s proposal to legalize cannabis.
