It's official. In Luxembourg the law has come into force legalize the cultivation of cannabis for personal use.
As already anticipated last October, Luxembourg, "In light of failure of prohibition as a deterrent to use", wanted to legalize the self-production of cannabis for personal use.
And here's what happens next Malta, become the first country in Europe having legalized marijuana, Luxembourg is immediately riding the wave of this green revolution that is sweeping the whole world.
Although, initially, the government plan directly provided for legalization, the Minister of Justice Sam Tanson points out that changing the law on domestic production and consumption is a great first step.
"We have a problem with drugs and cannabis is the most consumed drug. - We want to start by allowing people to grow it at home - We we do not support the entire illegal chain, from production to sale. Our goal is to distance the consumer from the illegal black market."
Well, we totally agree. But what does it predict the new law that just came into force? What will be possible and what will remain illegal? Let's find out.
What does the self-handling law allow in Luxembourg?
Let's see what it allows really specifically the law in force in Luxembourg on the cultivation of marijuana:
- It is possible to grow up to 4 plants of cannabis per household, both indoors and outdoors, as long as they are not visible from the outside
- It remains the consumption ban in public, consequently it will be possible to smoke only at home and in private places
- Consumption and transport in public up to 3 grams it will no longer be considered a criminal offense but only one will be incurred fine reduced up to 25 euros. "Above three grams nothing changes, you are considered a drug dealer," Tanson points out
- Contrary to the transportation and sale of cannabis which remains illegal, the seed trade Without any limit on the quantity and level of THC
- Nothing changes for motorists, zero tolerance driving
- For i minors both production and consumption remain illegal.
A silent revolution, started from the bottom to liberalize production and consumption "within one's own four walls", but which gives hope to then a new regulation of cannabis by the state, which certainly will not want to give up the revenue from such a fruitful sector.
