MODERATORS
They're not allowed to sell. They have to be non-profit clubs you can become a member of (with a max size per club) and then you can receive weed that has been grown there. Which means each club decides what they grow for themselves and they can only start to grow on Monday. So there'll be no legal weed for months except the one you grow yourself.
Mine will be ready for harvest in about a week ๐
That law is flawed and lacks refinement, but at least I can do what everybody has been doing for like forever, but now legal.
Can I join your club?
Leider nein, leider gar nicht ๐
I couldn't even gift weed to other consenting adults. That's rather idiotic in my view. Imagine you'd go to a party but everyone was only allowed to carry a certain amount of alcohol (ok, 25 grams of weed are a lot). You could only drink what you brought, couldn't taste anything else, couldn't leave leftovers for the host and couldn't drink in front of the house if there was a playground in sight.
Our barbarian beer conservatives would let hell break loose. But those regulations apply to weed, so they aren't strict enough.
Edit: I intended to write "Bavarian beer conservatives", but I fucked up. Now I like this version even better.
