Buying cannabis in Germany — what are the rules?

For personal non-medical possession, adults 18+ may hold up to 25 g of dried cannabis away from home and up to 50 g at their residence or habitual abode, with 50 g the combined ceiling. Up to three living cannabis plants may be held there; private cultivation is a separate allowance. These are possession limits, not monthly association allocations. Conditions: Minimum age 18+.
