> The proposal would allow people over 18 to grow up to three cannabis plants for personal consumption and to possess up to 25 grams

If I got 25g off 3 plants I’d be quite upset, so this doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. Am I missing something?

It doesn't make any sense, law done by bureaucrats with no clue about the topic... I would expect country like Germany would leave this to actual neutral experts (ie not those running addiction clinics since they all keep telling everybody that all drugs should be banned completely forever... just like asking head of DEA in US how strict weed policies should be, well since its most of their work is cannabis no wonder it was handled for long time cca same as heroin).

Yeah that seems way low. In oregon you can have 4 plants and 8 ounces total (227g) at home, and can carry 1 oz (28g) on you at any time. Those are a lot more reasonable limits.

The proposal before that had a clarification by Lauterbach that the alive plant does not count to the 25g, so u shouldn't grow 3 plants at same stage of life

But even 25g from one plant is on the low side! So you could easily have the farcical situation where you can grow weed but can’t legally harvest all of it!

Correct :(, but smallest plants can only have 5-10g harvestable, having a big plant through lots of energy input which can have 100+g definitely is out of the scope of a Solo person consuming legally weed

Having 3 plants would make the weed buds stale/old until u get to consume it (for the average consumer that is) the laws are dumb, but good first step

I think you're supposed to smoke it. /s

Sharing is caring.
