The German parliament on Friday (Feb 23rd) backed the move to partly legalise cannabis use. This legislation would make Germany only the third European country to legalise the drug for personal use.
Easier access
The legislation, as per The Guardian, follows a heated debate on the pros and cons of allowing easier access to the drug. With this, cannabis would be removed from the official list of banned substances, and adults would be allowed to possess 50g of the drug at a time — 25g in public.
