Approval of the plan would be the first step to legalising possession of limited amounts of the drug and allow 'cannabis club' members to buy it for recreational purposes.

    It’s not even legalization, more decriminalization which even tho is a step in the right direction isn’t a whole lot. It can’t even be sold like in Amsterdam, it’s just social clubs and homegrowing.

    Don’t get me wrong I love the plans, but there were promises to legalize completely and not just decriminalization.

      I actually found the clubs in Barcelona much nicer than the Coffee Shops in Dam on a visit, so I have no issue with this model.

          I thought it was great, had to request an invite online then once they know you’re coming you sign up on the day and are let in. Thought the products they had on offer were much better than Dam in terms of quality and variety. The club was nicer than a coffee shop too, most of Dams coffee shops seems to be stuck in an eternal 90s smoker culture and never moved on.

        First of all, 25 grams is the maximum you are allowed to carry/own. I said it’s a step in the right direction, which it is and the politicians promised legalization not decriminalization. I also think it’s very good that they did anything at all since it’s a problem around the globe, decriminalization just isn’t going to make all the problems go away since u can still get into problems.

        I also know about the EU Laws and or Bundesrat and why they can’t legalize completely yet, but still they promised us.

            Yeah I know politicians lie to get votes, it was just such a big talking point for young people who only voted for them because the were going to do that, but now they don’t.

            I’m still happy at least something is happening and they don’t just pretend that they never promised something like that.
