Luxembourg government adopts legalization of self-cultivation
Last Friday, the Luxembourg government approved the bill aimed at updating the law regarding cannabis in the Grand Duchy. The law will allow adults to grow up to four cannabis plants at home, «exclusively from seeds,» and to consume them in private.

Consumption in public will remain prohibited, and a decriminalization threshold of 3 grams is expected to be enacted, with possession up to that amount subject to a fine of €145. Possession of more than 3 grams of cannabis will continue to be subject to criminal penalties.
