Germany may soon have some of the most lenient marijuana laws in the European Union as lawmakers in the Bundestag debate legislation on cannabis
German lawmakers are set to debate and vote on legislation that would make cannabis legal for personal use in the country.
The new law would allow the possession of 50g of cannabis for private consumption and growing up to three plants. In public, adults would be allowed to have up to 25g of cannabis.
The draft law would also allow for non-commercial cultivation and the controlled distribution of the drug by cannabis clubs.
The legislation would give Germany some of the most lenient marijuana laws in Europe, where the drug is still illegal in most countries.
Adults in Malta may carry up to 7g of cannabis and grow up to four plants at home based on legislation passed in 2021, but smoking marijuana in public is still prohibited.
In Luxembourg, private consumption is tolerated as well as the cultivation of four cannabis plants as of this year with possession of cannabis in public decriminalised.
