Germany legalizes recreational cannabis use
(www.cnn.com)
Good for Germany.
But, it starts first if April not 20th of April! Amateurs
You, errr, might want to google the birthday of a certain well known German leader of the 30s and 40s…
This was a joke for 420. I know that this is also his birthday. Just don't care in this context
Years ago, a coworker greeted me with "Happy 420!"
- Me: "Oh, I didn't know you celebrated Hitler's birthday."
- Him: "What?”
- Me: "April 20th was Hitler's birthday."
- Him: long pause and blank stare "I DIDN'T KNOW HITLER WAS A STONER DURHURHUR!"
- And then I got a new job.
Cool story bro
Happy you’re celebrating, you’re clearly German and would know, but honestly, we don’t use the date format, don’t encourage them. And April 1st is even better.
This article reads as if nobody wanted to legalize it which is wrong. The population was asking for legalization for many years now. Finally the new "traffic light coalition" made the change.
Lauterbach, the drug lord. Ts, ts, ts.
There is a joke about blossoming landscapes to be made here.

The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed.

If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
