Germany Breaks Ground: Legalizing Cannabis for Personal Use Sets Precedent for Global Drug Policy Reform"


.                         Photo by max 

Germany has taken a significant step in drug policy by legalizing the possession and cultivation of cannabis for personal use. This decision, passed by Germany's parliament, allows individuals and voluntary associations to grow and hold limited quantities of cannabis, making it one of the few countries to partially legalize the drug. The law permits cultivating up to three plants for private consumption, possessing 50g of cannabis at home, and 25g in public. This move comes after a heated debate surrounding the implications of easier access to cannabis.

The legalization aims to address two main objectives: combating the black market and enhancing the protection of children and young people. Health Minister Karl Lauterbach emphasized the need for this change, citing the increasing use of cannabis among young individuals and the risks associated with impure street drugs. Approximately 7 million Germans are estimated to regularly use cannabis, with medicinal reasons being a significant factor. The government believes that legalizing cannabis will improve the quality of the drug consumed by young people.

Despite support from the ruling coalition of Social Democrats, Greens, and FDP, opposition has arisen from some German states, including Bavaria, which have concerns about enforcing the law effectively. The law allows adults to grow plants and possess small amounts of cannabis starting from April 1st, with licensed not-for-profit clubs set to distribute cannabis three months later. However, consumption among individuals under 18 remains prohibited.

Germany's move makes it the third EU member state to legalize cannabis for personal use after Malta and Luxembourg. Advocates for medicinal cannabis use hope that Germany's decision will influence other countries to follow suit. The global community will be closely monitoring how this law operates in practice in Germany, setting a precedent for drug policy reform worldwide.

This development marks a significant shift in Germany's approach to drug regulation and sets the stage for potential changes in drug policies across Europe and beyond.

ISRAEL STOPS MORE THAN 99% OF IRANIAN DRONE, MISSILE ASSAULT

.    Photo by max . ISRAEL STOPS MORE THAN 99% OF IRANIAN DRONE, MISSILE ASSAULT: Of contemporary military might, Israel has intercepted 99% of the 300 drones, ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles launched by Iran during a massive attack. The historic assault that included projectiles from Iran, as well as Iraq and Yemen, caused minimal harm and few casualties, owing to Israel’s multi-layered air defense systems. The Israeli navy said Iran launched around 170 drones, 30 cruise missile, and missiles with a range over 100 in a wave of attack and over 120 ballistic missiles towards Israel during the early hours of April 14. But the country’s space defense system, including the Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and Arrow 2 and 3 defense systems, short-circuited virtually all of the incoming threats. The United States also played a role in the defense, taking down dozens of the Iranian projectiles using its Aegis missile systems on navy warships and land-based aircraft. President Biden ...
