German drug policies are considered among the strictest in Europe. Although serious penalties are attached to the sale or possession of large quantities of drugs, there is no criminal action taken for small-scale possession or the use of many narcotics including marijuana. The German government has even gone so far as to allow for supervised "drug rooms" like those found in the Netherlands, where individuals can safely use their drug of choice and receive counseling when needed.

@9FCJ7L41yr1Y
Do whatever you want. But dont make me pay for your problems.
@9JQBPPP10mos10MO
I feel as though we should take a stronger course of action for drug use. For example, allowing those who actually need drugs for medical uses while criminalizing those who abuse the use of drugs.
@9J3KYCR11mos11MO
Yes, but we shouldn't destigmatize drug usage and should still do whatever we can to reduce drug usage
@9GYNHJF1yr1Y
Yes, but for most (not all) drugs, AND reduce sentences for those already served at least 50% of their time.

@9FMDSF71yr1Y
Yes, under strict regulation.
