Luxembourg’s plans to allow residents to grow four cannabis plants at their home have been queried by the country’s de-facto upper chamber which stated the proposals would breach international law.
Lawmakers who put forward the draft law ‘risk exposing themselves to criticism on the international level of non-conformity with international law’, the State Council said in a legal opinion released earlier this month.
However, the council also found that while Luxembourg’s plans would breach international law, they would conform with existing EU law, given the country would not completely legalise cannabis but allow it to be consumed at home under strict conditions.
Luxembourg’s three neighbouring countries have already voiced their discontent about the government’s earlier legalisation plans, fearing the easier rules could cause people to buy the drug in Luxembourg and carry it over the border illegally, reports the Luxembourg Times.
