Laws in the uk..
You can buy seeds but it’s illegal to pop them..
Austria has clone shops but it’s illegal to flower plants ..
Crazy eh you can buy all the clones you want as long as you don’t flower them lol..
It's even crazier in Austria, you CAN flower them. But the moment you pluck that bud off the stem you're a criminal - Suchtgiftgewinnung.
In Germany we have a 3 plant count now - not kidding.
Clubs can be formed but after months have past since the law has passed I only heard about one Club so far getting permitted, could be wrong tho.
I read up on the law and what to fulfill to run a club and they made such a tight rule to apply to that it loses to just getting it somewhere else.
They also limit how much bud you can own which in 2024 is just blasphemy, all those studies show clearly there are more benefits from Cannabis than harm.
Medical sector is a cash cow now (like anything big pharma) and 20€/g for ugly hay is not unheard of out of that sector.* I've seen it personally, sometimes there's decent bud but you still pay for all that shit with recipe etc pp and it's no different from paying a dealer only the government tries to take that spot.
*Terpenes are clearly a sign of quality and if the stuff smells like hay, looks like hay but costs almost as much as Gold producers and distributing medical complex clearly ignoring the basic knowledge on the plant and just care for their cut.
You can do better on your balcony, but they don't want you to. They don't want you to be independent from their bogus service.
Fuck legalisation, full on decriminalization or it's just a bribe to us anyway.
We're grown man growing fucking fragrant herb and the government cares more about suppressing us than to solve real environmental and social issues and this clearly shows how sick the global politics are nowadays and that they do not care for the people but only about control and power.
