This is actually a smaller step, as it needs to be approved by the Bundesrat before being effective. This could take month and it’s not guaranteed to pass.



> it needs to be approved by the Bundesrat

Apparently it doesn't.

"Nach der Zustimmung des Bundestags kommt das Gesetz am 22. März abschließend in den Bundesrat. Zustimmungsbedürftig ist es dort nicht, die Länderkammer kann aber den Vermittlungsausschuss anrufen und die Legalisierung so verzögern."

They can't veto it, but they could delay it.


The 180,000 people per year who will not face legal issues because of this law will disagree on how big a step this is.


Do you think these 180 000 people will be able or willing to join a club? With a mandatory membership fee and legally mandated minimum membership period of three months?

As these clubs are not allowed to hire people and are also forbidden to allow non-members to act on club duties, a membership will mean some work too. How many of the 180 000 are willing to put in that effort.


It doesn't matter whether or not they will join a club. It matters that simply owning (a non-negligible amount of) cannabis is no longer illegal.
