Germany’s promised bright dawn for cannabis falls short of expectations

It’s hard to think of Germany’s newly presented recreational cannabis plan as anything but a climb-down – particularly if you are not currently a potential non-medical user of cannabis in the country. 

What many saw as the largest potential recreational market in the world will now be strictly non-profit for at least five years. Good news potentially if you’re a German consumer sick of black-market dealings, but poor fare for those on the business end.
