We've just discovered that most of the world is made of "dark" matter of unknown origin. Clearly, what we know is just a thin layer of reality. And even about this thin layer we know very little.
I am so disappointed with the path Germany took. Its clear above all it poses no serious risk to general population, especially when compared to alcohol and tobacco.
Yet they do this crappy in-between, which excludes most people (no, I dont want to have growing aparatus at home and tinker with setup, worry for vacations fire hazards etc), excludes completely access to more advanced and healthier forms (vapes are by far the best and healthiest way for me, dont force me to smoke stuff, I actually care about my health and state should appreciate that).
The problem is, what Germany pushes for sets the tone in rest of EU, and they did set the bar very low. They could have been champions of personal freedom, but they decide to drag this, I guess to please (clueless) conservatives.
Reportedly, the German government scaled down its original legalization plans as they would be in violation of current EU law. Private is in the scope of member state legislation, but virtually everything related to trade is subject to EU regulations, and they currently demand dealing with cannabis to be criminal. (Not a lawyer, that's how I understood the news.) Germany's current plans could be a first step before pushing for a change of EU law. That may not be trivial though, as some other member state governments appear to be opposed to the idea.
Why would his salary change?
Or is this again a waitress issue? Instead of paying them proper money they get nothing and royalty?
