Bet this will really increase tourism to Luxembourg! Luxembourg to become first country in Europe to legalize cannabis Luxembourg to become first country in Europe to legalise cannabis - CNN (CNN)Luxembourg is set to become the first European nation to legalize the growing and use of cannabis, the government announced in a statement on Friday. Under the new legislation, adults over 18 in Luxembourg will be allowed to use cannabis, and to grow up to four plants per household, which would make it the first country in Europe to fully legalize the production and consumption of the drug. Decriminalization will also dramatically lower the current fines for possession of the drug to between $29 and $581 for possession of three grams or less, down from the current fines of $291 to $2,910. Consuming cannabis in public, however, will remain illegal. Trading seeds would also be permitted under the new legislation, with no limit on the quantity or levels of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive component of cannabis. The change of policy is an attempt by the government to crack down on drug-related crime and the black market drugs trade. Ministers will now be able to regulate the currently illegal cannabis market.(snipped) I don't like that there are still fines for possession, but being able to grow 4 plants and trade seeds is a good start. And I can understand not being able to use cannabis in public. I just look at it as a simple politeness- not everyone likes the smell of cannabis. (I know I wouldn't appreciate it if some dude lit up a stinky tobacco cigar near me, so I won't do that to others.) Granny
So they can grow cannabis and use it but if they possess 3 grams or less they get fined? Sounds tricky.
Only if they try and leave their home with it. Grow and consume withing your home you are fine. Step outside and.... Sent with more cow bell!?
