The release of the draft bill is one part of a “two-pillar model” to “legalize private cultivation by adults for personal consumption as well as communal, non-commercial cultivation of cannabis in cultivation associations.”
Under the draft bill, “adults aged 18 and above will be allowed to possess up to 25 grams of cannabis for personal use and cultivate a maximum of three plants.”
“However, the consumption of cannabis in the ‘immediate vicinity’ of individuals under 18, within a 200-meter radius of schools, children’s and youth facilities, playgrounds, publicly accessible sports facilities, and pedestrian zones between 7 am and 8 pm, will remain prohibited. It’s important to note that fines and criminal charges will continue to be imposed for specific unlawful activities,”
In addition, the outlet noted that the “proposed legislation allows an association to accept up to 500 members,” with each “member belonging to the association … eligible to receive either 25 grams per day or 50 grams per month for personal use.”
