Welcome to Germany in blue since yesterday! Interestingly buying and selling it is still not allowed. You can grow up to three plants for own use
I would expect or at least hope Denmark will follow suit.
That's not quite true. It is allowed in the form of non-profit clubs selling to their members for personal use. It's just commercial sale that's still banned.
Clubs are only permitted to distribute in juli.
What about in Decembei?
What about it?
Not quite accurate. Selling is still illegal, even for the clubs. You pay a monthly fee to the club and the club is giving you a monthly allowance of up to 50g.
Yes, this is selling with extra steps but it circumvents EU stuff about not being allowed to commercialise cannabis.
Good clarification, I edited my comment accordingly, thanks!
Ok. The news did mention clubs but not in details
So people can sell their cannabis to other members of the club? Whould this allow people to grow their 3 permitted plants for selling to others even though its only allowed to grow them for personal use?
I haven't looked too much into it, but iirc the clubs would be able to grow their own plants, independent of the allowance that individuals have for home-growing. Here's a (German) article about how the clubs are supposed to work, that seems to confirm that, even if it's not spelled out explicitly: https://www.wiwo.de/unternehmen/dienstleister/cannabis-legalisierung-mitgliedsausweis-und-schichtplaene-so-funktionieren-die-cannabis-clubs-/29733674.html
Also, see the other comments on mine, some good clarifications in there!
I think there is a lot of fine print, like
From that link, I find that each club is permitted a mix of 500 members (although some had 1000 sign up just last weekend). So existing larger clubs are splitting into smaller subclubs. It also states that they may only sell a maximum of 50grams per month to each user. They may not seek profit. Resale of cannabis from other manufacturers is prohibited, so the clubs need to grow their own canabis! They are also not allowed to hire people to grow, harvest, plant, or even sell in the clubs. It needs to be the members who do this
It's all going to be very interesting to follow, but it looks like there will be a lot of space needed to grow them, and paybe even a lot of energy going to waste on this (instead of growing it places where the weather or even the landscape allows)! Its hard to grow enough cannabis in the center of Berlin I assume
