    So this is to be true legalization and not just decriminalization? Also, hasn’t Luxembourg completely legalized it?

      True legalization with an asterisk.

      We have a two-step plan.

      The first step is possible without changing EU laws, it’s basically something like the Spanish social clubs, but a bit better. People can join clubs that are legally allowed to grow weed and are monitored for quantity and quality. They pay in and then get a certain amount each month. Also we can grow ourselves with a certain amount of plants.

      There is a number of random restrictions to appease the conservatives, like no smoking in public in front of a school and to certain times.

      The second step will see Germany go head-to-head with the EU, which will be the actually sale in shops and/or pharmacies. For that purpose there will be pilot cities that will start this in controlled measure while the government is ringing with the EU.

      In both steps, there is legalization, although with a bunch of random restrictions. Albeit, most people take it over no change at all. And in the end, the restrictions are mostly public, so what you do in your flat or house is your thing and the police can’t get you for smoking and growing there.
