I would love to just harvest once a year and grow white widow for example. But this s3ems not possible exactly for the reasons you mentioned.
That sucks, yes, but I can understand why. Is the law good? It is good enough. Will it need refinement? Yes, a lot.
They are walking a thin line. And if they overstep the EU could reverse that whole thing.
So, let’s run with it, and are what happens
The new law does not allow you to pass our weed on. This I a crucial part on the crackdown on the black market. It is a little bit to strict IMHO, but I can understand why.
Limiting the amount you may own at home limited has the same goal. And if you let your plant grow that much, that is kinda suspicious.
You could just deal from home.
In the next weeks, organizations that fought for legalization will provide courses and information on how to obey those limits.
Seriously: a plant takes around 8 weeks to bloom, and can stay in that state for another 8 weeks. That is plentiful time to harvest and not all at once. Also, while the first one is blooming you can grow number two.
As someone who growed stuff at home in the past, it makes perfect sense to me.
With 3 plants you have always one blooming and two following. Time it correctly and you have a constant flow of supply without ever having more then 50g of dryied products.
After you are done harvesting, dispose the rest of the plant and be fine. As the stem of cannabis is mostly water, it will not weight anything near 25 g if dryied. If it does, your plants are larger, and I think this may be intentional to limit the amount of products that can be harvested. Over all, while not perfect, the law is much better then many seem to want give credit for.
I was co author of the largest pro canabis petition ever in Germany, and the author of the anti-alcohol petition (reusing the arguments of the lawmakers why canabis can not be legalized, and just replaced alcohol with canabis). I am fighting for this since 20 years. And this is a huge step forward. Yes, it is limited. But the limit is imposed by the EU and not the German government.
That is a non issue in my opinion. As long as it is not dryied yet you can process it. Just cook it out for example. Or use it as fertilizer.
50g ate the dry weight. You are allowed to posses 3 plants + 50g consume ready product. So, this should work out just nice with smaller plants
Yes, the limit is per adult in a household
