Recreational cannabis becomes legal in Germany on April 1. From Monday, it becomes permitted in Germany for those over 18 to buy cannabis, up to 25 grams per day maximum, through non-profit associations.
Possession of 25 grams of dried cannabis is now authorized in public places. At midnight, the time of the first "legal" joints, several hundred people celebrated the change in law in front of the emblematic Brandenburg Gate, in the heart of Berlin. After Malta in 2021 and Luxembourg last year, Germany becomes the largest country in the European Union to legalize the recreational use of cannabis.
