diatoms Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 'Luxembourg Becomes First Country In EU To Legalize Recreational Cannabis' from https://cannabis.net/blog/news/european-legal-marijuana-news "Luxembourg’s incoming government has just announced that recreational cannabis is going to be legalized. This makes Luxembourg the very first country in Europe to do so. A handful of countries in the continent already legalize it for medicinal purposes, while others such as the Czech Republic, Netherlands, and Portugal, have decriminalized cannabis. The announcement was made during a press conference last Thursday, attended by Luxembourg’s three coalition parties: Democratic Party, The Greens, and Luxembourg Socialist Workers’ Party. Luxembourg’s current population is just around 600,000. However, experts forecast that the legal adult-use market could be as large as 10 million provided that nonresidents would be able to partake as consumers of the drug. Luxembourg, as a member of the European Union, would also permit citizens from neighboring countries such as Belgium, Germany, and France to enter without needing a visa. “Luxembourg will become the first country in the EU to actually legalise cannabis, as the Czech Republic, Portugal, or the Netherlands either tolerate or decriminalize it. This sends a strong message to other countries in the EU. The ice is broken,” says Bill Wirtz, policy analyst at Consumer Choice Center, a Luxembourg consumer rights group. The move is significant, as Wirtz explains that it will be the first time the EU will have a recreational market with cannabis products containing THC, unlike Switzerland. This may also push other countries to start discussions on reforming their own cannabis laws, particularly the Dutch and the Swiss." Luxembourg is sounding quite nice to visit all of a sudden:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chenGOD Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 One thing that was cool that isn't really a thing here in Canadialand, most houses had wood burning fireplaces/stoves for heating. Pfft come to eastern Canada. Virtually every house in Ottawa/Gatineau has a wood burning stove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
