dutch coffeeshops still get their product of the black market
As far, i'm informed there has been a regulation some months ago which allowed some producers (like Karel Schelfhout) to supply the coffeeshops and transform the whole buy-in process into a white market which is regulated/controlled as in America. From the point of existence/cut the plant is labeled and can be looked through the process afterward. When I got it right, this seems to put a centralization/monopolizing effect on the cannabis culture in the netherlands, but triggers to push the quality and acceptance in the country a whole bit forward which seems to be overlooked in the whole years of allowing the consume of soft drugs.
But for germans that means, from 1.4. you can grow 3 Females per adult (18), Grow Associations of max. 500 Members each can legally grow for their members and 25g in pockets on street are legal, as a member of a club you can buy 50g/month.
Somehow the amount you´re allowed to store at home is just 50g, but if you´ve ever popped a seed you can tell that 3 plants should overcome this scale...whatever let´s hope for the revaluation in some months, i think it was 18 months or so and the whole law will be proved to the test.
A huge step for our country, and i hope it will transform into a domino effect across the entire european complex. It will bring a lot of free joy i recently experienced with cannabis to so much more people in my surrounding space, and i think that will work positively on communities.
If you ever want to keep one political speaker for hemp in germany out of the mass, it would be Karl Lauterbach, a professor & dr. and a (in my opinion always wise and overlooking) politician who was against legalization a few years ago and then changed his mind because of American/Canadian studies which showed the legalization brings benefits on paper. Reminds me somehow of Dr. Grinspoon, who wanted to prove his friend that weed is harmful, but got flipped by the truth. A scientific background which resulted to the fact that cannabis needs to be legal for people to access.
Even CBD Plants we´re banned since now to grow (besides you´re a farmer at a certain scale), means a lot of demand will show for seeds in the CB-X Sector from now. Will definitely get my mother some CBD-Crew Seeds, because she don´t gets the high. Whatever, it´s a huge step for personal medication with maybe the greatest plant i´ve occurred by now.
