Absolutely brilliant…One thing about German politics is …when they agree on a policy,it’s very rarely turned.
Great influence on the rest of European countries…great piece of news.

As it’s recreational…big step…good on them.

You know this is real big ……and a giant leap for Europe.

The European Union will probably follow and devolve it to the other 26. Members.

Italy and Spain France and most others are hot to legalize.

Be no chance there as they can’t even give there Citizens medical.

There just sit on there arses

Yep, the standards for deciding someone is impaired are a joke. I’ve tested myself and passed the balance test multiple times while high as a kite, just because I have good balance - though I’m out of practice saying the alphabet backwards and might fail that part, despite being stone-cold sober right now. Almost like it’s more based on the individual than the test, who passes or not… or the officer deciding what “pass” and “fail” mean on a sliding scale.

Interesting but yet again these biomedical companies are trying to replace the real thing with a product that does the same as the real thing so they can patent it and sell it as a medicine.

A lot of the 0 Cal sugar substitutes are made from bacteria and yeasts and are neuro toxic even though they have nearly identical molecule structure to sugar. There again real sugar is toxic just not in the same way lol.

Pharmacuitacle companies make vitamins, they are very similar or identical to natural vitamins at a molecular level but come from synthasized petro chemicals, and are not as effective or completely useless compared to their natural counterparts. Just because something looks the same does not mean it will behave in the same way.

“Social welfare” - that’s a good one. Government by the people, for the people indeed… except when the people decide “wrongly” so it turns into government by fiat. Not that the states that approve ballot measures are doing much better, NJ’s at it again… 'tis the season! That magical time to hand out tickets for failing to say the alphabet backwards while doing somersaults:

just think about what they can do with “vaccine passport” technology. Add a note to everyone’s passport that bought weed at the dispensary. That will speed things up at the neighborhood checkpoint! The police will know who to pull out of their cars for saliva swipes or blood draws. That will clear up those problems with the “DRE” guys.

Make no mistake, the oligarchs of the West have been watching the techno-slave society being pioneered by China and drooling with anticipation of doing the same things to their countries. It’s OK if weed is legal…we’ll just make a small note to your social credit score…all for your health of course. China’s a bad country…BAD…now excuse us as we install a few dozen more cameras in your 'hood…without asking.

Only stating the obvious, but I guess that’s progress.

“I filed this bill to make a point,” Bernard told me earlier this week. “Let’s compare apples to apples. Cannabis is not poison. Alcohol is. We see alcohol-related deaths on our state college campuses every year—somebody chugs a fifth of Jack Daniel’s and ends up in the emergency room.”
