Under the law backed by MPs, possession will be legal, but strict rules mean it will be complicated.

    I’m curious, the article states that the EU was against public sales as it would likely cause greater influx into other EU countries. Is the market in the Netherlands so much smaller that this doesn’t exist with them? Or is my US ignorance showing?

      First the Netherlands are a much smaller country compared to Germany in both size and inhabitants.
      Second the Netherlands only decriminalized possession of weed for personal use, which is different from legalisation. Afaik you can buy weed at the coffee shop without arrest but the shops have to literally buy it from the black market.
