Numerous people celebrated the legalization of cannabis in front of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin on Monday night with lit joints. Several hundred people gathered in an exuberant mood, some dancing to reggae music, as a reporter from the German Press Agency reported on site. In front of the Berlin landmark, a meter-high cannabis leaf decorated the scene, and just in time for midnight, a number of lighters lit up. Shortly afterwards, a strong smell of cannabis wafted across the square. In numerous places in Germany, activists celebrate legalization on Easter Monday and invite people to smoke weed together, take part in discussions and demonstrate.
