21 March 2024: Two German Stories

 1.  Kinda interesting....the Human Right Commissioner of the Council of Europe came to visit Germany and give a assessment.  Well.....Germany is apparently guilty of 'alleged poverty and housing shortages'.

Apparently, it peeved the Germans a bit....to be accused of this....when they spend tons of money on welfare/housing.

5.6-million Germans get welfare currently and are covered by housing.  

2. Supposed to be a vote this week...on Germany's cannabis legalization.

One interesting change....Transport Minister Wissing says that he wants to abolish the 0.0 limit for THC in road traffic. Currently, if you have any THC in your system....you lose your license.  Police aren't exactly thrilled over his position.

I should note this other odd feature of legalization.....if you are in a German jail in April....you will not have access to legal cannabis.
