Germany has initiated a partial decriminalization of cannabis, marking a significant policy shift under Chancellor Olaf Scholz's coalition government, effective from April 1. This move allows adults to possess up to 25 grams of cannabis in public and up to 50 grams at home, in addition to permitting the cultivation of up to three plants for personal use. The decision has been met with enthusiasm from cannabis supporters, with reports of several hundred gathering at Berlin's Brandenburg Gate to celebrate the new law's enactment. The change in legislation has sparked discussions on whether other European countries will follow Germany's lead in decriminalizing marijuana. Despite the celebration, the new law has faced opposition from some politicians and medical associations, highlighting the controversy surrounding cannabis legalization.
