Germany’s lawmakers are progressing with crafting the regulation that will ring in the country’s legal weed era. The latest reports suggest that the German government’s draft law seeks to tightly regulate the so-called cannabis clubs that will enable the legal consumption of cannabis. The clubs would be restricted in their money-making capacity, threatening profits also for ancillary businesses.
Last month, Germany revealed a scaled-back version of its legalisation plan after its initial plan underwent consultations with the European Union and required modifications. According to the revised plan, the distribution of cannabis for recreational use would function through cannabis clubs or associations. Also, retail would be limited to certain regions so that authorities can assess the effects of recreational use before stepping-up legalisation nationwide.
