Loophole makes cannabis legal in Belgium

First of all, this is not an actual news report. I wrote this myself, but I think that it is major news in the Belgian cannabis culture.
Cannabis was long thought to be illegal in Belgium. Until now. Thanks to the organization called "Trekt uw plant". "Trekt uw plant" is translated into "pick up your plant", but it's also a pun which means "do it yourself".
Trekt Uw Plant found a loophole in Belgian law which makes it legal to possess pot. A law dating from 2005 states that is legal to possess up to 3 grams or 1 plant. This law contradicts other drug laws, but Trekt Uw Plant saw the possibilities.
Once you payed for membership you can buy a cannabis plant from the organization. They will grow it for you, harvest it and give you the yield and trimmings (you do have to pay the costs for growing the plant).
What is the main goal of Trek Uw Plant? They want to provide Belgian citizens with organic cannabis. They want cannabis free of harmful additives like lead, glass or hairspray. More importantly: they want to do this locally. So their members don't have to drive to the Netherlands where cannabis is legal.
Isn't it illegal when all plants are grown by one organization? No, because all plants carry a copy of the member's identity card and a written approval that the plant is theirs. This way the organization is conform with the 2005 law.
Trekt Uw Plant organizer Joep Oomen was arrested two times, but was ruled not guilty every time. Joep says that the police let's them do their thing.
You can read about Trekt Uw Plant here: http://trektuwplant.be (the website is in dutch)

Zal ik doen, maar eerst mijn eigen stek zoeken. Woon nu nog met huisgenoten die niet echt tolerant zijn. Normaal moet ik binnen paar maand toch verhuisd zijn en dan zal ik het zeker eens bekijken. En nu maar hopen dat Justitie de wet niet wegstemt...
P.S. De shroomery members zijn nu wild aan het worden van de vreemde taal die we spreken Heb er zelfs eens eentje gehad die me regelrecht terrorist noemde omdat ik uit het oostblok zou komen. Hij verwarde Belgiƫ met Bulgarije...

Belgium is not Eastern European, it's West European. It's next to France, Germany and the Netherlands. P.S. Our girls are prettier

Lowryder is een kruising met de ruderalis zeker? Autoflower? Nice Het zou wel nice zijn om een paar sativa's te zetten. Outdoor kunnen die behoorlijke struiken vormen met de meest massieve toppen.

Lowryders are a type of strain that grow small, for few months and have a 25-50g+ yield (depends if you're good, indoor/outdoors)
anders moet je me maar eens pmen. Deense soortjes zijn anders ook wel perfect voor dit klimaat hier in ons klein Belgenlandje. Zaden van daaruit zijn totaal aangepast aan alle grillen hier. Echt BOMEN!

Hehe guess i'm going to it one of these days aswell
