I fail to understand how you can only possess up to 50 g of weed at home. You're allowed to have three plants and one plant produces normally over 100 g. What.

Makes no sense at all! I just pulled 10 oz from a single plant in a 60x120cm cabinet. Guess you'll have to smoke & eat the entire plant immediately!

decarb and infuse in oil?

Edibles and extracts are still illegal, so no

The fucking what?

Yes, the law is still very restrictive, in some ways more restrictive than before even. Calling it a legalization is pretty dishonest, it's a partial decriminalization at best

no it is very much legalization because now there is actually a legal pathway to acquiring, processing, and handling the stuff

German government: "It's illegal to bake anything else than yourself"

It doesn't make much sense, but conservatives are already losing their minds over the 25g we're allowed to carry "nooo, we're enabling drug dealers with those massive quantities". If they went for 500g at home, there would've been a lot more negative press I imagine and it might not have gone through. Maybe it will be adjusted a few years down the line.
