Good news for people who grow and consume CANNABIS in Catalonia Spain.
The days of Catalonia’s cannabis clubs operating in a legal limbo are coming to an end, and for a good reason.
Today, the Catalonia Parliament in Spain, which operates as its own autonomous government, will be regulating the cultivation, consumption, and transport of adult-use cannabis. This ambitious and bold decision marks the first time in Europe that an adult-use system of this nature is permitted, effectively making cannabis a legal commodity in the region.
Three years in the making, the decision is finally receiving broad party support within the Catalan government.
The results culminated into this historic move, where growing, consuming and transporting cannabis will no longer be scrutinized by authorities.
The new regulations say that cannabis clubs cannot produce more than 150 kg of dried marijuana per year. Each crop will require a sign-off from an agronomist to determine if the amount grown is in line with the amount consumed for each cannabis club.
Anyone over the age of 21 can purchase up to 60 grams per month, and those who are between 18-21 are only permitted 20 grams per month, but the amounts do not apply to those who use marijuana for medical purposes. As well, these new regulations do not allow the consumption of alcohol in the cannabis clubs or marijuana edibles of any kind.
The Catalonian government is aware that this new ruling can be challenged in constitutional court by the federal government in Spain. The Catalonian Parliament has publicly stated that consumption is legally their decision and that Catalonia is within its legal right to allow this legislation.
The significance of Catalonia legalizing adult-use cannabis for its citizens is nothing short of remarkable. It sets a precedent that acknowledges the FAILED WAR ON DRUGS while simultaneously paving a better path for cannabis consumers in Spain and potentially other European countries.
Congrats Catalonian i hope the rest of Spain follows you!!!
