Under the law backed by MPs, possession will be legal, but strict rules mean it will be complicated.

    Title is misleading. Officially it’s not possible to “buy” weed, you only get it from your social club “for free” with a monthly membership fee. Clever way to get around the “buying” aspect

            Making conservative retards feel more at ease. Plus, EU forbids commercializing drugs, so “look no buying!” is a way around that.

                But it is a heavily commercialized drug backed by tradition and a huge industry

            Someone below suggested that it removes commercial incentive to get people addicted, which makes sense to me. Additionally, those clubs will serve as a support group, if anyone does struggle with addiction or other unwanted side effects.

            They had to do it this way in order to comply with EU law

      Spain has a similar system, though even more poorly legislated, putting it in a weird grey zone.
