German Parliament Votes to Liberalize Rules on Marijuana Possession

Germany has taken a significant step towards liberalizing its cannabis laws, with parliament's lower house, or Bundestag, approving a government plan to legalize cannabis for personal use. The new law allows individuals to possess up to 25 grams of cannabis per day and have up to three plants at home for personal cultivation. However, buying the drug will be subject to strict rules, making it difficult to purchase from regulated cannabis cultivation associations.
