After long discussion and frequent delays, the legalisation is finally here to stay.
After long discussion and frequent delays, the legalisation is finally here to stay.
Cannabis Social Clubs have existed in Europe for a while under a legal gray area, e.g. in Spain. I imagine that’s why Germany went with a non-profit cooperative model instead of the US’ (recent) for-profit corporate approach. Although Canada’s approach of a state monopoly is similar to what Norway does with alcohol, which is another way to socialize the profits of drugs.

We originally tried the usual approach (or at least a combination of both), but because of EU laws, it wasn’t possible to do a law which gives stores permission to sell them, so this was the best thing one could still get.
