I can't decide if I think the stereotypically-uptight Germans being the first to legalize in Europe was unexpected or very expected.

Don't look into any details if you want to keep that opinion

Any details

Only adults may consume and/or own cannabis
No buying, selling or giving away weed
Only consuming cannabis you or your Cannabis Social Club (CSC), should you join one, grew is allowed. In a CSC cannabis may be grown and sold to its members
CSCs may not make profits
No more than 50 (30 if you are younger than 21) grams of cannabis per month may be handed out to you by your CSC
No cannabis with more than 10% THC may be handed out to people younger than 21
Consuming cannabis within 100 meters (visual range) of a playground, school, youth center, public sports facilities or CSCs is prohibited
Consuming cannabis between 7am and 8pm in a pedestrian zone is prohibited
Consuming cannabis "close" to minors is prohibited
No CSC may be established within 200 meters of a school or playground
max 500 members per CSC
no more than 1 CSC per 6000 city residents (or 1 CSC if the city/town has less than 6000 residents)
no extracting THC from cannabis
no owning more than 3 cannabis plants
no owning more than 50 grams of dried cannabis, including plants
no carrying around more than 25 grams of dried cannabis, including plants
CSCs have to keep meticulous records about their members, who received when how much cannabis and how much cannabis grew in total
police can just go and take these records without requiring a judge's approval
for the coming months: no driving a car or bicycle with more than 1 ng of THC in your blood or you will lose your car driver's license and pay a fine (yes, even if you're caught riding your bicycle, you will lose your car driver's license). Fun fact: the police announced they will significantly increase controls

Ah, there's the uptightness I expected!

Also, LOL, only 500 out of every 6000 people are allowed to have weed they didn't grow individually. Of all the arbitrary restrictions, that seems the arbitrariest.

Plants don’t have dried cannabis on them.

No carrying around more than 25 grams

Being allowed to carry 25g in public is still a lot more than the 7g allowed in Malta and the 3g allowed in Luxembourg. Some US states only allow to posses 28g in total.
