So take everything with a grain of salt on there.
BBC, Euronews and Deutsche Well are highly factual while having centre-left bias according to mediabiasfactcheck.com which is why I favor using them to post news to Lemmy.
All news media are the same shit bags, you can not find out that is not tainted trash.
You think everything online is Russian.
That's a very Russian disinformation type of stance.
I don't know how you got to this conclusion. No, I don't. But you can ask all the Russian slaves what they think about the media and they'll tell you all about how you can't trust any of them, hence why it is best to be apolitical morons that don't believe in anything.
Two reasons:
From what I'm reading there are plenty of caveats. It's much more than decriminalization but definitely can't be called legalization.
Legalization usually implies allowing some degree of commercialization, otherwise you end up with weird middle ground like Netherlands. What Germany is doing isn't even going as far as Netherlands do, at least for now since there are going to be pilot programs for small scale shops (on top of currently proposed clubs).
US is vastly different from state to state, ranging from cannabis being illegal, through medical use being allowed with varying degrees of ease of prescriptions, all up to full legalization including commercialization.
I assume because that's the term they're using in the legislation, or at least how it translates.
