It’s still a bit concerning that we don’t have clear guidelines on how growing and harvesting these plants will be enforced with this very low limit. If someone grows 1 plant and doesn’t smoke the harvest quickly enough they might have say 300g of harvest and they suddenly go from legal while it’s growing to illegal 2 days later. If you’re in a state where they might want to be stricter on growing this could be a real problem.
Having limits on grams carried in public whilst not part of a cannabis club makes sense to me, but this restriction on quantities at home when you are home growing doesn’t.
The new law does not allow you to pass our weed on. This I a crucial part on the crackdown on the black market. It is a little bit to strict IMHO, but I can understand why.
Limiting the amount you may own at home limited has the same goal. And if you let your plant grow that much, that is kinda suspicious.
You could just deal from home.
In the next weeks, organizations that fought for legalization will provide courses and information on how to obey those limits.
I agree that limiting the amount you can have personally makes sense. 50g is just way too little I think. A very normal sized plant in a standard pot will easily produce significantly more than 50g of bud.
There definitely needs to be a limit. Not letting people have more than a kg for example 100% makes sense. Letting people grow their own is a fantastic way to cut out the black market. But we need to make sure that people who are growing their own don’t need to fret so much about staying under a very low gram limit. If people like me are worried about accidentally letting the plant grow so it produces 51g of dried material then I’m less likely to do it myself and will acquire it another way.
If the limit is say 200g then you could comfortably grow one plant in a normal sized pot. Harvest it. And be under the limit without stress, and not need to buy any for a whole year until you grow more the next year. No need to buy from a black market then.
Oh yeah it’s definitely a great start and I don’t want to let perfect be the enemy of good enough. Hopefully it all goes well and further liberalisation can follow, along with changes to treaties to expand even further. I was just a bit shocked when I saw the low amount you can have at home.
Theoretically, if two adults lived at home would the limit be 100g? That might make things less stressful.

I would love to just harvest once a year and grow white widow for example. But this s3ems not possible exactly for the reasons you mentioned.
That sucks, yes, but I can understand why. Is the law good? It is good enough. Will it need refinement? Yes, a lot.
They are walking a thin line. And if they overstep the EU could reverse that whole thing.
So, let’s run with it, and are what happens

Yes, the limit is per adult in a household
