Germany Moves Forward with Plan to Legalize Recreational Cannabis

The German Cabinet approved a draft bill to legalize recreational cannabis, including allowing possession of up to 25 grams.
The legislation aims to curb the black market, reduce drug-related crime, and protect consumers.
Under the proposal, adults could grow up to three cannabis plants for personal use and join nonprofit "cannabis clubs."
The draft bill still requires approval by the German parliament, where opposition remains over concerns about increased usage.
If passed, Germany would become the first major European country to fully legalize recreational cannabis.
