After partial cannabis legalization, what are the pros and cons? | DW News

- Опубликовано: 13 май 2024
- A new law partially legalizing cannabis has come into effect in Germany.
At midnight, hundreds gathered in central Berlin to celebrate the moment. Under the legislation, people over 18 can now possess up to 25 grams in public for personal use and cultivate up to 3 plants at home. But the legislation has its critics, who point to health and law-and-order concerns.
Germany's conservative opposition says they'll revoke the law, if they get into power.

Cannabis should never have been criminalized.
will there be coffee shops instantly?

It was criminalized here in the states because of the demographic that primarily used it. 😅
In Germany we dont get them, maybe in some years and than Schengen/EU Law + reforms
Since Netherlands decriminalized it but the Shops get their Weed still Illegal & with in Germany still quite a big Opposition from Parties CDU/CSU, AfD, parts of the SPD/Greens (that in the end voted ok), Doctors Association++ against it,their had to be made many adjustments to the law and all some month again reevaluation of youth protection got better, smoke more people or less, how much grams are needed, more or less++

@@seanphurley The lads partying at the Brandenburg Gate were largely organized by the Deutsche Hanfverband, they were only founded 22 years ago.
Become active, create local groups and network with others to convince people.
Whenever possible mention the economic benefits, especially if you're talking to more conservative individuals.
It's been recreationally legal for years in my US state and it's been nothing but a boon. Granted the leaders aren't using the HUGE piles of new tax money they're getting from it as well as they could be but the businesses it's started and the jobs it's created. Like for eg in my lol populated state of Maine in the US and in my city that's about 19k has a couple dozen small cannabis businesses and 90% of them are locals growing here and selling it in their satellite shops.
I tell ya, it's really nice to be riding my motorcycle, bicycle or car with the windows down in the summer and smell the fresh cannabis in the air when I go by each shop. And know I can swing in and grab something real quick with no hassle. It's literally a dream that came true.
Also as a person who doesn't smoke, I think this is positive because hopefully, the police can spend time on actual crimes instead of catching people who get high.
High people do crimes
@@ceecurs Not really.
Those are people with addiction problems that have to fund their addiction.
Cannabis is in no way comparable.
@@ceecursWeed makes your brain slow and yourself unproductive. But it doesn't make you agressive and violent, what alcohol can do. Be sure if alcohol became a thing later, it would for sure be banned.

French mainstream medias before Canada legalized said so much BS about what would happen...they continued for a few months after saying Canada will change this crazy law...since there's no show debate reporting or anything about cannabis in France...before it was every month...🤔!
There's proof that all they said was lies...they always say that it's toxic and bad for brain when it's a medicine and a powerful neuroprotective...nobody tell the younger that we all have an endocannabinoid system and boost it before 20 old isn't advised (there's no serious study on it but it's obvious!) and to not add cancer to your medicine so no tobacco mixed with tasty weed🙄 this is what is toxic tobacco not weed!

Just fully legalize it. It is here in Canada and its fine.
They were scared to go the whole way. But hopefully it was just the first step of many.
@@codechartreuse What sort of problems? Source? I'm curious, not from Canada.
Not possible at the moment. Germany has signed on a treaty combating drug usage that includes cannabis. Until this international treaty is amended or changed (or Germany withdraws, which it won't do) there's only so much a government can do before it'd be challenged and overturned in courts.
Nothing else is fine in Canada though

Once the guy said gateway drug, you knew where the conversation was headed.
When I heard that guy with this it felt like in the usa in 1980...marijuana is a gateway drug 🤣🤣
lmao I did weed and more drugs even though I live in a country were it is illegal so it doesn't even matter. As long as you can say enough is enough like me. I quit long ago though I don't even smoke cigarettes anymore only some beers here and there
meanwhile death rate by alcohol high af
Tbh, it is one judging from how it impacts the brains habit forming circuits (i.e. dopaminergic pathways in the basal ganglia, if you care for that sort of thing), smoking from a youngish age onwards leads to lasting changes in how your brain works. Making you more receptive to other potentially addictive stuff.
Nonetheless, I think the illegality has actually been a huge factor it in acting as a gateway drug.
If you smoke weed, and think "wow, this is actually quite fun", and are fine the day after, even when it happens after months you might seriously consider, whether there are other drugs also not as harmful as they are made out to be. So, the illegality of cannabis might have actually led many ppl to experiment with other illicit substances.
I am glad, cannabis is decriminalized.

The annoying thing about the criticism of the opposing party is, that they want to undo the new law based on their own beliefs, entirely ignoring science, studies and professional groups that were created to discuss the upcoming law change.
very true. kretschmer was a prime example.
i can also show them some studys about iq, race and testosteron. but they dont care lelel
who cares, its just talk they cant redo it even if they win the election. we have a multiparty system and they will always have to do a coalition with the others that legalized it today.
At least it wont be easy to undo this. They have to collaborate with the afd if they want to do this and if they'll collaborate, we have way bigger problems than this. But with one of the ampel partys, they won't get it done.

The most dangerous thing about weed is criminal prosecution.
And paranoia and anxiety. Don't get me wrong I smoke but defo effect some ppl
@@farmazooticalz Well in my case most of that paranoia and anxiety is caused by the criminalization of weed and its users.
Having a legal market available with a variety selection of different strains and strenghts would probably lower the number of consumers with those bad side effects.
While not having to fear criminal prosecution would probably increase the number of people seeking help for health issues.
@@NewPipeFTW Yes. Taking the fear away from smoking a joint by decriminalising it would take the paranoia & anxiety away.

Sadly that’s not true. I see a lot of my friends have been smoking their entire 20s now they are 30 and still getting high every day. It affects their ambition and productivity . When they eventually quit they will realise they wasted their 20 smoking all day and burning a lot of money. Not even talking about health problems that come with smoking
@amateresu6708 they are adults that have the freedom to make those sorts of mistakes if they want. It's not for people to legislate away any bad decisions adults make.
@2:25 "Playing down the dangers in cannabis use..." What about alcohol? I love how these countries talk about weed's dangers but never looking to get rid of or talk about alcohol's negative side effects.
I agree. People have been raised and fed with scare campaigns from governments their whole life, so they think weed is more dangerous than it actually is. I remember a prevention ad I saw as a kid that showed people at a party having fun drinking alcohol, but then someone started smoking weed and they fell asleep and just ruined all the fun of the alcohol party lol. If anything playing down the dangers will just present a more realistic picture imo.
Congratulations to all my friends in Germany. You made history. Proud of you guys.

Exactly. Almost no one dies from cannabis, but countless continue to die from alcohol. It's one of the most ridiculous double standards world-wide.
+ you can legally buy wine and beer from 16.

Exactly. Söder and other are downplaying the role of alcohol as the true one gateway drug.

25g in public and 3 plants. Thats amazing. If i could grow 3 plants at home i would never have to give money to a drug dealer ever again. Come on britain. Its our turn next. Just think what a legal cannabis market would do for our economy right now
You guys should never have Brexit... I feel sorry for you. Maybe you at least get the legalization soon in your country.
"Drugs are bad mmmmkay" - hands you a german beer.
Should never have been criminalised in the first place.
adults telling other adults what we can and cant do, let them make the decision for themselves. fine in moderation.
thats the reason i smoke since 25 years. German Government ist not important in a private question.
We need that to some extent tho... but not regarding Cannabis.
so you say, how do you define moderation? is cocain moderation? meth? it's a slippery slope. you allow one thing into the next. I couldn't care less if people die by drug use in their own house, but looking at some footage from what happening in Canada and US, drug use will lead to degrading of morality, more crime etc.
That´s why we invented the "Do as we say festival" in 1946. ( I wonder how many get the reference.)
Isnt almost every law a adult telling another adult what they can and cant do?
I have heard tobacco is more addictive
I have heard the pope wears a funny hat
And that is right.
Correct. Nicotine is almost as addictive as heroine. Alcohol is also much more addictive. Both tobacco and alcohol are also way mor eharmful than cannabis. Cannabis addiction is a psychological addiction, and can be overcome more easily. The risks are more on the psychological side.
It's also much more natural, a leaf, alcohol is chemicals and cigarettes is a cocktail of chemicals.
The appeal to nature fallacy has no place in the modern discourse about drug policy - Btw Cannabis is also a "cocktail of chemicals" with THC and CBD being the most prominent of the bunch, but just because something is naturally occuring such as Opium doesn't mean it's safer than human made chemicals with LSD being one of *the* safest drugs in existance. @@lemonade_ib

Next in the pipeline : psilocybine. There re already approx. 20 companies listed on the Canadian TSXV stock exchange that are developing products from psilocybine (magic mushrooms). Many are aiming at offering micro-doses eg. small doses that only alters very slightly the perception and senses. Some mainstream newspaper are already telling about the benefits of psilocybine. The population is being prepped. These products will very likely follow the same steps as cannabis : first for therapeutic ueses, then legalized for the masses.

Alcohol is more dangerous and can cause carnage, weed smokers avoid carnage 😆
That is not true. I support legalization, but like alcohol, there should be restrictions to smoking while driving and like cigarettes in the U.S. at least, there should be no smoking designations at certain places.
Those who smoke and drive are causing carnage. They are either over chilling to the point of causing major backups as they crawl through the streets. I am talking up to 20 miles under the speed limit. Then there is the smoke itself. It smells like an overripe dead skunk and the smoke that billows gets non smokers high and puts even more people at risk.
Like alcohol, smokers are impaired when they smoke. Common sense needs to be put into consideration as well and unfortunately will have to be put into law at some point because some people don't have it.
This is the 4th or 5th video article with interviews of the same people that I’ve watched, and not once, amongst all the justification of the decriminalisation of weed, is there even a single mention of alcohol and the way it is managed and kept away from minors as much as is possible. Weird.

It will probably take at least a decade before Norway ever legalizes it, but hopefully other European countries will follow this trend.

Legalization helps to combat Weed as major source of revenue for crime groups, while also making it safer for the consumer, as there's less of aa risk of it being mixed with other drugs, making a risk of overdosing.
I mean yeah considering the size of the drinking problem in Germany it doesn't really matter at this point.

Im 40 years old and weed has been available all the time, in every country I travelled to. It's absolutely normalized in pop-culture, movies and so on as well. The older I get the more I get annoyed by the argument that legalization would send a wrong signal.
Cannabis should be absolutely just as legal and easy to obtain anywhere as alcohol currently is. In every single state. No exceptions. It's so easy: As legal and easy to obtain/use as alcohol currently is. Why hold relatively benign, often healing cannabis to any sort of irrational, stricter double standard than perfectly legal alcohol?...........

50 grams is not a lot for a month supply imo. Some people have higher tolerance. I for example go through close to 2 ounces a month probably when including the concentrates and the flower needed to make that.
When i used to grow i had to grow a lot more than 3 plants because their harvest cycles dont line up to what you would need to support yourself.
You cant have a plant perpetually flower they grow their flowers all at once in cycles and you want the crystals to get a foggy bronze color before killing the plant
I also have had single plants put out more than 2 ounces at a time which means people would be criminalizing themselves while trying to be in compliance and maintain a self grown weed supply
Beer was my gateway drug to cannabis. Germany should ban beer for being a gateway drug.

I am sorry to say this but there won`t be a legal way. Right now we only have the option to grow plants by ourselves or get it via a cannabis social club. But you need to be a member and the first clubs will just open in July (and they can also start growing plants from then).

very bad for the Dutch economy
Dutch economy lost long ago. Seeds are legal to buy on internet plus revolution of led lights...
Meh
The dutch are making it so tourists aren't allowed in coffee shops anyway, so the Dutch are bad for the Dutch economy.
C'MON !! I've spent more money at " the pantry" , the " smoke boat", the " Albert Cuyp market and " Red Light District" than all the coffeeshops and headshops I stopped in my daily 17 km of walk around Amsterdam 😂.
It's just so ridiculous - "Isn't this law telling young people it's okay to smoke weed?" Dude, there's alcohol and tobacco ads on billboards throughout town, selfservice cigarette dispensers on the streets and smoker's rooms/areas at every public building, cigs and alcohol out in the open at the freaking counter in every supermarket, you can buy hard liquor anytime anywhere and consume it anytime anywhere - that's not telling young people that it is okay to take (some) drugs, but some law they won't know anything about? It's even prohibited to smoke weed in the immediate vicinity of minors and in most public places, which I find a good thing btw, so even less chance for them to get in contact with weed. If the conservatives actually cared about (the health of) young people, the rest of their program would show that - alcohol and tobacco would be much harder to acquire and much more hidden (especially tobacco, blegh), they would not have blocked the law limiting what ads can be run in between children's shows and they would actually invest in young people instead of siphoning as much capital as possible to their CEO buddies.
Only ever banned to destroy the hemp industry which directly contended with the wood industry etc
Today Germany, tomorrow whole EU!
It took 50 years for a second country to legalize weed after my country the Netherlands in the EU.
@@Joey-ct8bmexcept you people still have not ACTUALLY legalised it.
Czech Republic will be next, and unlike you, or this half measure in Germany, it will be the first proper and true legalisation in europe.
