A German court
ruled on Tuesday that some people
suffering from chronic pain should
be able to cultivate their own
cannabis "for therapeutic purposes".
Five people suffering from chronic
pain brought the complaint to a
court in Cologne after Germany's
Federal Institute for Drugs and
Medical Devices (BfArM) refused
them permission to grow the plant
at home.
The court said the BfArM had to
reconsider three of the requests that
it had rejected.
While the plaintiffs all had permits
to buy and consume cannabis for
therapeutic purposes, they wanted to
cultivate their own because they
could not afford to purchase the
drug and their health insurance did
not cover it.
The court said three of the plaintiffs
met the requirements to produce
the drug because it was "sufficiently
certain" that third parties would not
be able to access the plants and
products.
"Until now it has not been legal for
anyone to grow cannabis at home
but these seriously ill people will
now be allowed to," court
spokeswoman Stefanie Seifert said,
adding that it nonetheless remained
illegal for others to grow it.
"This is not a carte blanche for
everyone to start growing cannabis
at home - they have to be seriously
ill people for whom nothing else
works other than cannabis."
The complaints brought by the other
two plaintiffs were rejected - the
first because the court was not
satisfied that unauthorized persons
could be prevented from accessing
the plants and the second because
the court did not think the plaintiff
had exhausted all other treatment
options.
The court stressed that it was
necessary to assess whether
individuals met the requirements to
grow their own cannabis on an case-
by-case basis.

Uhmmm...well, there's no doubt that the privilege won't be abused. If it were to be my dear Naija, all of them would soon be wholesalers.

Oh boy... See free access for my people..

Marlon Asher - - am a ganja planter, call me the ganja farmer

Those allowed to do this are b/w life and death.Germany don'tplay with drug at all.

So how do they know who is suffering from chronic pain because as I dey so e be like say my ear dey pain me. When can I start planting?

For therapeutic purposes you say? They'll soon be so High that His Royal Highness will become a permanent Prefix.
In the mean time....

Ganjaweeds

It's a gradual process, Rome wasn't built in a day. It'll be allowed to be planted everywhere so that future occurrences of illness that could be cured with Marry J can be averted

Yeah....I've got severe Insomnia and its only weed that can cure it.... ......I already have my Medical marijuana card....

Laws are not made in court.

So how do they know who is suffering from chronic pain because as I dey so e be like say my ear dey pain me. When can I start planting?

Google it man, you would be surprised.
In my opinion Weed is much better than Alcohol.

I feel you bro. Alcohol has many unpleasant after effects but this leaf just relaxes those frayed nerves.

chibecanglobal: Does it mean that canabis is beneficial health-wise?

Yes it is beneficial health wise.But the problem is d after effect which is the "highness" it brings which makes some people destructive.
But malaria tablets brings about dizziness and some drugs make one lose muscular control for some time,but is still in use. so what's d big deal about this particular drug called cannabis

Interesting.

Pls don't adopt that in Nigeria ooo

I haven't met anybody that it makes destructive, in fact it makes people less aggressive, compared to alcohol that just makes people crazy. I smoke weed, some of my friends smoke weed but we're functioning members of society, Albert Einstein smoked weed and he was a genius. My point is anything can be bad if you do it in excess.

Yes my brother ,I share ur views about weed but in my own theory I believe weed makes an intelligent person a genius at work,but also makes a below average IQ person an utter f00l.
