From the article:
Imagine the U.S. government giving a shit about people like this.
Also, it's not just personal use-
So not only will you be able to get it, the people who get it to you can't be big corporate shitheels.
I recently found out that I most likely qualify for German citizenship thanks to Germany's own bureaucratic legal system. It's sounding more tempting every day.
I wish I liked the sound of the German language more though.
Cannabis Social Clubs have existed in Europe for a while under a legal gray area, e.g. in Spain. I imagine that's why Germany went with a non-profit cooperative model instead of the US' (recent) for-profit corporate approach. Although Canada's approach of a state monopoly is similar to what Norway does with alcohol, which is another way to socialize the profits of drugs.

We originally tried the usual approach (or at least a combination of both), but because of EU laws, it wasn't possible to do a law which gives stores permission to sell them, so this was the best thing one could still get.
I'm not the only one who has issues with German.

And as a German, I like The Netherlands and are a bit tempted to move to them. Guess you always see the better in another country.
