Not entirely correct. It’s in line of sight so of course you can consume inside your house or your backyard if that can’t be seen from the spot it’s supposed to protect.
Well, they couldn’t just straight up legalize it because of EU regulations. So they found a weird loophole, and to make that fit with the more conservative folks, they added a bunch of restrictions.
It’s not perfect, but a good step in the right direction. My hope is, that this will be proof enough to change EU regulations and then do a proper legalization.
Here is a map if you want to know how the new rules work. It shows where we are allowed to partake…
I wish they would apply the same rule to cigarette smoking. So much dangerous smoke and trash everywhere you go.
Well, apparently I can’t consume in or around my house, but in the front yard of my grandma would be fine.

Oh Germany, you love to make things needlessly overly complicated.

No, actually they would have loved to make it easy. Yet the EU is opposed to it.
So now they are doing it in baby steps to get solid data on every step of the way to show the EU rules are bullshit.
First step: decriminalisation for limited amounts, home growing and private clubs.
Next step: licensed distribution in selective model regions, documented as per agreements with the EU commission.
After that: negotiations with similiarly minded EU countries
Full legalisation can basically only happen with an EU frame work and that will be a marathon…
