Germany has decided to introduce new rules prohibiting smoking marijuana at all railway stations in the country.

The national railway operator, Deutsche Bahn, notes that the new rules are aimed at protecting the public good.

Recently, residents of Germany were given the opportunity to legally possess up to 25 grams of marijuana for personal use and store up to 50 grams at home.

Consumption is permitted in most public places, except for places like schools and playgrounds.

The new Deutsche Bahn ban extends not only to stations but also to trains.

The company is announcing the start of an information campaign aimed at informing passengers about the upcoming changes.

Failure to comply with the new rules results in a ban from entering the station premises and other penalty measures.

Deutsche Bahn is also focusing on protecting minors by introducing mandatory drug abuse prevention programs for minors caught in possession of marijuana.

The use of marijuana for medical purposes at railway stations remains permitted, which is an important exception in the new regulation.

This decision is seen as a step towards enhancing security at German railway stations, which is expected to have a positive impact on the overall order and safety of travelers.
