A new law partially legalizing cannabis has come into effect in Germany.
At midnight, hundreds gathered in central Berlin to celebrate the moment. Under the legislation, people over 18 can now possess up to 25 grams in public for personal use and cultivate up to 3 plants at home. But the legislation has its critics, who point to health and law-and-order concerns.
Germany’s conservative opposition says they’ll revoke the law, if they get into power.
