Luxembourg puts an end to cannabis prohibition
Luxembourg's deputies have approved by a majority (38 in favor, 22 against) the bill legalizing the cultivation and possession of cannabis at home for recreational purposes, but with strict regulations..
In the private sphere, the possession, consumption and cultivation of 4 cannabis plants, if not visible from the outside, are legalized for adults. In public, however, cannabis remains prohibited.
The fine for possession of cannabis in public has been reduced to between €25 and €500 for quantities of up to three grams. For quantities over three grams, there is still a risk of criminal prosecution for up to six months in prison or a €2,500 fine.
The law should be published in the Journal Officiel by the end of this week or early next week.
«The anti-drug policy we've been pursuing for 50 years has been a failure,» Justice Minister Sam Tanson (Déi Gréng) told the Chamber of Deputies.
«Seeds for home growing are not yet available in stores in Luxembourg, people will have to buy seeds online or abroad,» notes the Ministry of Justice, stating that it is «checking whether the seeds are legally available in the country concerned».
The authorization of private cultivation and consumption in the private sphere should only be a «first step» on the road to more comprehensive cannabis approval.
«The second step is to develop state-controlled cannabis production and sales chains,» said Judiciary Committee rapporteur Josée Lorsché. Outlets are also planned for the longer term.
Luxembourg becomes the second EU country to end cannabis prohibition after Malta in December 2021.
