Consumption of all drugs is legal in Germany. The problem is buying/selling/production, as well as simple possession. I think this is the case in most countries.
What did they legalize now, then?
> cultivate up to three marijuana plants at home I give it 3 microseconds until every single new rental contract / landlord prohibits this (and consumption). Also, here’s an article with slightly more info on limits and prohibited places: https://www.dw.com/en/berlin-celebrates-legal-cannabis-posse...
1. There are further limits on the size of harvests, making growing at home pretty much infeasible. 2. German rental law is very restrictive. Essentially, for most purposes, you are the master of the place you inhabit. Such a restriction will probably not be legal and thus non-binding, even if stated in the contract.
I do not see 1) at all, laws are pretty reasonable all around

Production and trade under very strict restriction in so-called cannabis clubs.
Trade as a non-narcotic medication in pharmacies, restricted to prescriptions.
Production at home, with very strict limits towards quantity of plants and size of harvest.
Possession of limited amounts of cannabis and thus public consumption with restrictions regarding proximity to institutions for children.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I can't think of a law that would allow landlords to enforce that in a rental contract. Renting is heavily regulated in Germany. Consumption is different, but the new law is very specific in what is allowed and what isn't, and an unconditional ban is unlawful, as is already the case with cigarettes.
Landlords successfully get people to adhere to all kinds of technically illegal rules. If you need a space, you sign whatever they give you. Waiting times for a consultation with renters associations in Berlin are 3-4 weeks right now. For example, they often prohibit plants of certain sizes on balconies, and entirely elsewhere. Legal? Maybe not - but here in reality you have little recourse.
The recourse would be to simply not move out. Even if it's in the contract, illegal parts of the contract are void.

I think most people are moving to vaping, which produced much, much less smell. Plus, vapour doesn't "stick" to things and make them smell forever more like smoke does. Also, edibles are really popular these days.

> Funny how greens are against nuclear energy but don't mind if the air smells horribly from smoking. I don‘t see what those things have to do with each other? But besides that, smoking cannabis is prohibited in most public places, even when smoking tobacco would be allowed.
