They did it! They (kind-of) legalized it! You won't be a criminal in Germany anymore if you possess less than 25 g in public (or up to 50 g at home).
Can't write right now, must celebrate, cu later :)

On Telegram, Marseille[2nd largest city in France]'s drug dealers continue to do business, despite operation "Clear space".

On their Telegram channels, where they exchange prices, schedules and delivery proposals, Marseille's drug dealers seem to be only marginally affected by the large-scale police operation launched by the authorities on Tuesday, in the presence of Emmanuel Macron.

"Hi everyone, we're open." Seen from the Telegram network, popular with drug dealers, the "Clear space" operation launched with great fanfare in Marseille in the presence of the Head of State on Tuesday, March 19, doesn't seem to have had any lasting effect on business.

A few outlets in the Castellane district have had to suspend their activities. "Friends, sorry for the inconvenience, the police have been here since the opening, but I don't know for how long," apologized Gotham Porche Drive on Tuesday evening.But for most, the disruption lasted only a few hours. Another dealer had also published Tuesday evening: "To all our customers, we're sorry for the inconvenient situation today, the police stayed for a very long time", while adding: "the coffee shop welcomes you tomorrow from 10 a.m.", and "for latecomers, we are currently closing at 3 a.m.".

From "Boubou Moula" to "La Frappe à Mickey", in the Marseille area, there are easily twenty such channels.
Some promote a particular "oven" - a point of deal - many offer home delivery services. The channel also enables them to alert their customers to the police presence. On the morning of Wednesday March 20, most of them displayed their usual logo indicating that they were open and that
deliveries are available.

"Super promotion"

With so much on offer, vendors are trying to differentiate themselves by offering "super promotions" on "100-gram plates", "two pieces bought, third offered", or small gifts. On Tuesday, one vendor promised "discounts and gifts (filter, grinder, cigarette, scratch-off ticket) with every order". Others are banking on the notoriety conferred by their long-standing presence: "We strive to bring you the best quality and quantity to satisfy your needs", boasted a Castellane account on the same day, which boasts of "the trust you've placed in our brand for over 20 years".

Some betting on product traceability, like this account, which doesn't hesitate where to buy, and offers a choice of different types of cannabis: from Amnesia666, rated five stars, to the coffee-spice-earthy" flavor, recommended for "depression, lack of appetite and lack of sleep"; or G13, with its "woody-fruity" flavor, better for treating "anxiety and pain".

There are even "meta-channels" that aggregate the ads of various dealers, and even offer them "validation", supposed to guarantee their reliability. To stand out from the crowd compete in visual inventiveness. "Coffee Joker" has worked colorful logos, while "Coffee Johnny" prefers a logo featuring the action movie character John Wick, pistols in hand. One of them, who "delivers throughout the 13 [Bouches-du-Rhône] region from 2 pm", opts for direct demonstration, with short videos in which a gloved hand presents the various products on sale: weed, resin,
Another promises "top-quality coke", with photos to back it up.

Local newspapper LA PROVENCE wrotte an article that criticize the anti-drug operation from MACRON (that is bullshit like olysh show us).
The tittle said : "MACRON leave, we (dealers) stay". The party of macron phone to the guys that belong LA PROVENCE and now the publication directory will be fired. That is the "true democracy".

@Alligator427 What will be really interesting to see is the whole border situation with Germany. Seems like the France-Germany border is going to be what Netherlands-Germany border used to be for decades. People living in Metz, Sarreguemines, Strasbourg etc (and Saarbrücken, Karlsruhe etc. on the German side) are going to love it...

I don't see why they would. There are no shops selling weed. They can't join a growers club. They would still have to get it from street dealers. Yeah, they could legally consume in some public areas but that's about it.

You were only allowed to buy like 5g per shop in Netherlands since many years iirc. As a foreigner no weed for you close to the border at all. Still, checks on the border are pretty common. Both ways, for people going from Netherlands to Germany (mostly looking for consumers smuggling weed into Germany), and also going from Germany to Netherlands (looking for large scale dealers selling german weed to coffee shops). I could imagine something similar at the French-German border: Even though you are not allowed to join a club as foreigner, I could imagine some desperate french kids just trying their luck asking people in front of clubs to sell them some. Just like Germans are doing it right now in Netherlands. And at the same time I could also see a large scale producer trying to sell to a club that is short for whatever reason. But maybe not, who knows, just speculation.

If you come to Germany please be aware of the distancing rules. Especially if you visit bavaria. Fines are between 300,-€ to 1000,-€.

Rules are: no consumption at 100m sighting distance of a school/playground/sports ground (also swimming pool). Or in front of a minor.

Some people already got fined for smoking to close to a school/playground at night.
One guy got fined 500,-€, because he smoked to close to a fountain which was marked as a playground on the city map.
Pretty strange situation as you are allowed to drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes close to a school or even at a playground.
I suggest staying friendly, telling the police you are sorry and didn't know. Then ask if it is okay for them, if you walk further away.

It has been no problem to buy weed in a coffeeshop around border regions for years. I just went the other day. Be it Maastricht, Enschede, Venlo or whatever. Maybe you were referring to the short time of this wietpas shite 15 years ago. But ever since, np.
I also have been travelling over both sides of the border for 20 years, at least once a week and not once have i seen someone running into custom checks besides dubious looking trucks. I was hesistant to reply, because being warned and not doing it is preferable, but risky it is not in statistical terms from my pov. Which you can also see by how many germans crowd those shops.

Germany becomes biggest E.U. country to legalize marijuana possession​


Good article on legalization in Germany from Wash Post. Gift version of article that non-subscribers can read:

Great news guys, I just became a medical cannabis patient in Greece and swiftly received a bag of locally grown high-THC flower legally!

In this country we have plenty of A-level hash coming in, but flower is hard to find and of dubious quality. Having easy access to good quality flower is literally life changing!

The drawbacks: at 15€/gram it comes at a price, but quality-wise this is probably the best tasting flower I've ever had and the effects are great as well. On the streets the price for good quality bud is 10-12€ gram, so not a massive difference but still noticeable especially for heavy users. Also there's only one high-THC option at the moment, that at 19%, and it's Sativa; would be nice to have the option of an Indica strain too.

And finally something relevant to medical patients here who plan to visit Greece on holiday: the health minister recently announced that if you are a medical user in another country you can buy medical cannabis from a pharmacy in Greece! Not sure if that's been implemented yet, but if it has that's something that might make your holiday just a bit better :)

Dazed and confused
@the_hexx
Congratulations

Do you think Greece will legislate growing a few plants for personal use (similar to Spain etc)?

France seems to be considering even more militant policies with recent discussions to enable the police to perform random THC swab tests on general public FFS. I despair at such naive moves. Not only for the unfortunate user but also the tax payers wasting money on such policies. It seems to benefit no one..... Bizarre!

Thanks @Chicken No Name, still buzzing!

Hard to tell tbh, if you asked me just a couple of days ago I would say that the path to full legalization, or even growing for personal use, would take years at best; I wasn't even aware that I could become a medical patient, it all happened in about 12 hours and that's because my wife showed me a video on IG of someone who'd recently become one and claimed that it was doable!

My take is that the government is trying to find a balance between collecting some cash and not freaking out the conservative sect of the society. At the same time CBD shops are selling HTC-A and other strange variants that are supposed to get you high (HHC was banned a few months ago and quickly after that all these new variants emerged) and people are largely positive about legalisation. So we'll wait and see, but definitely a step in the right direction!

Sorry to hear about the situation in France, hope that it will improve, what you are describing is absolutely ridiculous in this day and age :(

Yeah, France isn’t at all on the good path… répression, répression, répression, even though we all know it never works, only for elections…
It’s really weird how come there is absolutely no public debate even though France has the highest rate of smokers in EU :doh:

Saw this a while back, only posting it here now.

I like the reason they gave,
"The ministry said the bill was motivated by a change in the perception of the recreational use of marijuana by adults."

Maybe it's not seen as such a terrible thing anymore, by the general population, in some places.
I wish them the best of luck with this one. 🤞🍀🙏

The cannabis narrative is indeed slowly shifting in the Czech Republic. Actually, there was a working group hired by the government that was about to prepare legislation for cannabis regulation similar to Germany. Clubs for adults, home growing allowed, and overall street decriminalization. However, the smallest party in the current gov, the conservative Christians vetoed the whole idea.

The problem is they are on the cliff of existence and desperately need the votes from the people living in rural areas who still see cannabis as something that might take their children away. Funny enough the same party still blocks the efforts to tax wine because the same people are winemakers and they also drink their breakfast every day...

Also, the other parties have different priorities so weed is just something on the side of their agenda. But there's still some progress from being exposed to prosecution for growing few plants or smoking in public. I believe they won't block this limited decriminalization for individuals.
