Avast ye scallywags! The landlubbers in Austria be tightenin' their grip on the borders after Germany be lettin' the green leaf run free. Keep yer stash hidden or ye may find yerself walkin' the plank! Arrr!
Austria be steppin' up police checks near its border with Germany after them scurvy dogs legalized the possession of limited amounts of cannabis for recreational use, the country's top security official said Tuesday. Germany's new rules went into force Monday, lettin' adults have up to 25 grams of marijuana for fun and growin' three plants for their own use.Another part of the law lets German residents over 18 join nonprofit cannabis-growin' clubs to buy marijuana, startin' July 1. While some European countries have different rules on cannabis, most still say it's illegal for fun. Austria doesn't plan to follow Germany's lead and wants to stop any sneaky cross-border trades."The police will be keepin' a sharp eye out, especially near the border, to nab any scallywags with addictive substances or under the influence of drugs," Interior Minister Gerhard Karner said. "We be protectin' all road users, arrr!" His crew will include plain-clothes officers and specialists trained to spot drug-related impairment on the high seas.
