There will still be a lucrative black market for weed since this law doesn’t really allow for commercial sale, which is quite unfortunate. Cant have that weed cutting in on the beer mafia profits :)

It does allow for “cannabis clubs” that can supply up to 500 members (whose names will be put on a list). So that’s nice. But it’s definitely not going to be enough.

At least it’s a step forward. And really great that individuals can’t be arrested/fined for consuming a plant with their own body.

That's not going to cause problems at all

Heheh. No problems at all…

But yeah, despite being an alleged champion of privacy, Germany kind of misses the point with much of their implementation (of any privacy-related legislation).
