At least it takes away one reason for undercover German police to annoy foreigners with their "random" drug tests
Oh you can and they 100% will it is still heavily regulated: only a certain % thc and not more than 25g. So they can also do a thc quick test and weigh it. Also there is still the argument which they can use that if you take marijuana that means you do other things so please also take a urine test.. What I'm saying is that very eager cops can and will continue to annoy people
It would at least help if they stop assuming the only reason a foreigner from the free west would come through Germany is to sell weed.
Did this actually happen to you? I've been to, and even smoked weed in (discreetly), Germany many times as a tourist without issue. It was just annoying that it was technically illegal...but no one ever attempted to drug test me or ask me about drug use at all.
Yes, I didn't spend a lot of time in Germany but it happened several times. I traveled by train and they claim the train stations are where people do their business
