Cannabis clubs allowed to open in Germany | BBC News

Cannabis clubs are set to open in Germany following their legalisation at the start of this month.

Germany partly decriminalised marijuana use on 1 April this year, allowing over 18s to possess up to 25g of cannabis in public and adults to grow up to three plants per household.

But for those wanting to just purchase the drug, growers associations or “social clubs” can now be established with up to 500 members, as of 1 July.

Members must be over 18 and live in Germany, and the clubs can grow and distribute the drug on a strictly not-for-profit basis.

    The significance lies not solely in the act of smoking and its effects but in the environment and context in which it occurs. These elements crucially shape the resulting experience. The interaction between the amplified senses during smoking and the influence of the environment creates a bidirectional relationship that can significantly alter the effects of the substance. Typically, sativa strains, known for their daytime suitability, are preferred in social settings to avoid the lethargy often associated with indica strains. Conversely, indica-dominant strains are more appropriate for home use or before bed, and at the end of it all, I was happy to hear that Germany has made a massive shift and changes in policy, along with the rest of the world.

    Conservativs here in germany are loosing their shit over this law. Already their opposition tries to avoid having these clubs by installing 2m² fake playgrounds as there is a passage in the law that says one can not have a club in range of sight of playgrounds and schools. I would expect a bunch of legal battles shortly.

    Legalisation here in the UK, and across the world, is the only common sense way forward. I, as a smoker, feel like I constantly have to look over my shoulder, and have negative judgement from others; this wouldn’t be the case if it were legal.

    This ,,legalization " is a bullshite.No club reciving permision to grow .Whole law is so strickt and complicated that in reality no one or only few chosen ones are able to operate and grow

    People should mine their own business, if people want drugs, let them. Absolutely nothing to do with anyone else.

    if you look at that and smile, know that in this absurd country of germany, we made all of the steps to open these things, without having even a single one of them being able to plan their business to grow and deliver weed to their members. Its gonna take about another year until thats in place. Nothing in this country actually works.

    Some people always knew. It ia a generosity that I am espousing it that I expect no thanks for, or praise or any good feeling, though I’m neutral about it. Some people watched something strange, suddenly we all looked like apes, like humanity of us had gone off as we were shameless apes, naked and over our heads. Then a series of derangements and degenerations, in which people stopped sharing one common interface with the world, and started entering their own universes, all split up and only really like a hologram that it was hard to pretend didn’t really exist, as it was just an optical trick. And then something like turning the human psyche into spam by reducing it to an affective model and articulating people like finger puppets, poking the brain with various insults that have predictable responses, and those strange preloaded shots being prevalent over natural behaviour, eventually something like a total wipe out of nautral behaviour due to people getting stuck at the interface thinking it’s the common one everybody shares where you can really go places when it was really a phone and they couldn’t move. Then they got stuck like flies on fly paper and the rest has been bleeding them with slow liquidation, and this parasitic insitution becoming more powerful than the government, more powerful than any force in the world, an ecomomic movement of mass suicide, sold as our saviour, when it really produces miracles by bleeding people and offing them, humans in, capital our and no humans out

    hahaha, I always knew the Germans would come around to THIS…hahaha…..party safely and responsibly but PARTY ON. Hahaha…..these clubs are gonna be EPIC, especially in Germany.

  43. @harold-i7r on November 30, 2024 at 1:31 am

    Tangentially with respect to cannabis, I dare say it’s not an infinite amount of time before somebody lets a monster loose on and in the internet on people leaving snail trails everywhere about what they’re doing, what they’re thinking, what they influences are, how they change in response to feedback, and every completely is a measure of the person interacting with a feed, producing value that’s extracted from them as sacrifical time is liquidated like drawing blood from a cow, and how they change inside as a result of what the exposure is making them into, or making them do, or making them think, and so on. And nothing any person can ever say or do can ever overcome statistics applied to them like a rodent in a laboratory, there never was any choice or freedom, the human never fully understood their determinism according to reducible logic, and as their superiors, he have to maintain this understanding for them.

    There is another form of extremist and another form of terrorist among us now, probably watching second or third hand, if not forth or fifth, if anything you say goes anywhere, and it does whether you want it to or not among so much sensory information in real tome everywhere that we moght as well live in a virtual world and forget our bodies, and dispose of them

    fits the EU’s curious, inquisitive, maybe even exploratory, scientific, etc. nature. I know Europe is HUGE on rules and bans and RESTRICTIONS and REGULATIONS but would be nice if such countries, as INTELLIGENT as they so often are in their laws especially regarding dangerous chemicals and substances, potentially……it would be nice if they would see cannabis for what it REALLY is. We don’t even completely know THAT yet, frankly. About time. Britain needs to stop FREAKING OUT if they are and legalize weed, weed stores should be popping up and lounges no different a revenue driver for the Royal paradise than anywhere else. I know this is Germany and applies to other European holdouts as well, but Britain, too, needs to wake the h UP on cannabis, a country capable of being very STRICT and I would say Puritanical but that would be North America……….Cromwellian? No……….Britain has a tendency for rules and order and formality, but they ALSO have a tendency to appreciate REAL science, tolerance, and respecting others, compassion for those who use medical marijuana, another example. Show THAT side of Britain again, and legalize cannabis post-haste. The war on drugs is NOT going to continue as is forever. Governments around the world had better start waking up and realizing that the war on drugs is a war on human NATURE, with a supply of product that will NEVER end, not for potentially thousands of years resource-wise, if one can call drugs, which are also used for medicinal purposes, some yet perhaps unFOUND YET, etc and had been throughout civilization, both medically and recreationally. For a country so welcoming and kind, minus the far-right, Britain needs to wake UP on "weed" The EU will soon be dealing with substances like MDMA and psychedelics, etc, marijuana absolutely is not the last and this train is NOT stopping, the horn blaring louder and LOUDER every year, or less, perhaps . UN regulations included. That is all. Other countries will soon follow Germany, even if the UK REFUSES to get with the times. End, though SO MUCH MORE could be said.

  46. @wefgengneon on November 30, 2024 at 1:35 am

    yeah but like with everything here the burocracy makes it impossible to open one 🤣

  47. @harold-i7r on November 30, 2024 at 1:35 am

    "Advertisers have caught on to the appeal of feet pics and are utilizing them as a distinctive marketing tool. This unique trend has opened up new avenues for brands and businesses to reach their target audience in a creative and attention-grabbing way.", it
    another way of saying "Look at the soles of my feet" to your internet customers and clients! Which in Arab culture usually means an extreme form of sexual domination, death, an intention to kill or provokation

  48. @harold-i7r on November 30, 2024 at 1:36 am

    "People were very impressed with the humanity of the model, they said it was better to intersct with than a human [Pan out on the scene to show lonesome man being eaten by a strange nightmare insect creature head first]", whoah, yeah, the AI is super! Yes, they peft a snail trail and now it knows what they think and how they change! And now mobody can tell the difference! Uber, above the top now! It’s like playing Chess with Stockfish on a megacomputer cranked up to 11,000 Elo! It’s the best! Every move you make is suboptimap so you have to always listen! And you don’t learn fast enough so you don’t get freedom now and it’s very stroct! Yeah! And now you get a hole in yoyr skull where it can pipe in data and look at you inside your mond! It’s the best! Headcrab is love! It’s like watching a movie forever now! They ask why we are so upbeat about being eaten by the head by headcrabs, it’s so hardcore! You are only looking for advantages like you are trained so you can pass them on for someone else to monetize as the adverts make you beg for feet! It’s great now! You think that all of the kids are making value when they are making the end of the world! It’s the right way! Everybody chasse the change now! It’s good! Treat the picture of someone you don’t know like it is the person in the room and they are a God! Bow to your insect masters and kiss their feet locked on the bar now! It’s the best! Come play the little game we’ll rip your inputs from for a training set for prey while we liquidate you, more and more, humans into capital, time, energy, opportunity, life itself killed very quickly, all into capital, and no humans out, very quickly, as fast as possible. Win win! Good for business!

    Get used to an extremely cruel reality that was born with the internet and never existed prior to it, in which you will never spend enough time seriously abusing enough people to ever get good enough at torturing people and liquidiating them for their stupidity slowly, like pigs in a pig farm barred in the pen, to ever catch a glimpse into the slightest novice mode of how the internet abuses people, or just how abused you are

    Soon enough every bozo in the red light district is going ti be able to monetize human verses chess played with an Elo 5000 player, in which case a human has about zero chance of ever defeating it in a game, which is overkill because most people could beat one that could run on a calculator. So you’d better either join the technophiliacs who do the liquidating and by sheer virtue of doing it themselves avoid it or remain part of the pig farm as a pig, instead of a deranged workman, and don’t think of trying to unpick the status quo, it’s an impossible puzzle, you’d just be another Hitler if you tried

    If you let the abusers train them for too long above the bar they can’t get above, you ‘ll never get them back, they’ll become slaves.

    Being a digital native isn’t quite such a positive it’s made out to be. It quite possibly means you can’t even see it because your whole life you’ve been trained at the trough at gate as your parents were throughout your whole life, all for likes, endless posts and pictures, and Farmville. Humans into Farmville, no humans our, raising about what a dollar per pound of flesh? Good model, some kid with superior genius programming skills could get very rich of all these tender cuts still on the bone who work legacy, who move real things around.

    At the end of the day, a computer is a little thing that makes scratches, and they want to put it on your brain to scratch a hole through, and killing people makes money because they leave behind stuff and don’t do stuff they could have, and you can bleed them slow and take their wages off them, so you run it automatic faster and faster until everybody can tolerate the new normal because the rest are dead. You don’t talk in money so don’t understand the potential, a currency of blood and it’s given freely, because some LEDs and noises conditioned the animals to come and get bled like trained cows for milking.

    This is technophilia, embracing technology and transcending human perceptions and choices, and seeing things objectively.

    It’s also entirely equivalent to religous extremism, differing only very slightly because the technophiliac rejects the possibility of anybody every having the ability to make choices or having valid perceptions, and persues technical ends that aren’t substantiated because the task is ill defined, too complex or impossible, yet still approached with simplifications and reductions ineffectually. The religious extremist forces everybody to choose and observe the same way, and isn’t bothered if that’s paradoxical, ineffectual or can actually be done, such as compelling people to die religiously and therefore for it to be correct for them to choose to doe against their own interests paradoxically, as in it’s right for non-believers to want to die by being killed by believers because the religion is so strong.

    Like it or not, in order to survive, humanity must walk between the two technophilic and religious extremisms and their terrorism this century, and this is only one of our increasingly extremely complicated problems globally.

    Nobody can touch a technophiliac without falling at the bar and being treated to being spat on and looked down on as a degenerate, barking at a screen and putting their angry paw prints on the page, with no idea what’s real or where anything actually is like a retarded boy. It’s a wonder he doesn’t clasp that insult like a horny girl. It’s technophilia, if you have a technical lnce nobody can prove because it’s not real and you stab away and get rid of a few, there’s no proof of the fact that was technically achieved by influence. Put them under the bar and train them like pigs in a pig farm then, there is nothing stopping that from happening and everybody will deny that it is happening, because it’s paranoia. You’re trapped behind your interface in your cell in an infinite prison where you are an oracle to a machine that wants you, wants to look at you forever in more and more controlled ways, until it’s figured you out. And ever day you irresistably go back to you cell where you’re volunarily captivated behind an open door and you feed the machine blood, an iracle it extracts from you. And it will remain this way for your whole life while the prison around you becomes ever more sophisticated. You’re addicted to feeding it, you can never stop, the training is too compelling and compulsory, and you’ll never resist it. For some reason, whatever it is, you worship it, you give it an oracle and you accept its input signalling your body, and it’s technophiles who have brought it on, slowly constructing the place around you, and everybody’s learned to become obedient in its unofficiated institution, that hangs about alongside our real state.

    Now you can sit in your cell talking to nobody, except it’s everybody talking at the same time, and you’re in there too, on your own in a room talking to something that combines the snail trails of millions of humans to give the impression it is one using a computer. Sniff the glue and your aversion will go, when you’re washed out inside and you’re not naturally behaved because your brain has been deformed, maybe it didn’t develop right because all you ever did was receive signals from a computer, worship it, give it your oracle and wait, for your whole life, like the young ones coming up, win win, good for business, it’s the Ticktock algorithm, the secret Chinese sauce, the weird thing you’re pressured into accepting you know is a kill button they just inserted into you for life. Your organism receives signals from the computer logic, you worship the computer and give it your oracle. Down, back below the bar, you’ll never get up from being contuously raped. You have no idea what exposing people to signals and things they can observe allows a third party to do to them, and we all felt our homes being violated as the fibre pumped in, everybody who was alove to feel something we will never again because of a deadening that’s irreversible, meaning you’ve got the sensibilities of a homeless person like everybody else because your house is a prison cell where you’re prodded with a dildo and told what to do and say far too much to strangers.

    And even now, you stuck fuck, you’re absolutely frozen as you have been for years and can’t move, you only move how you’re trained and soeak as you’re trained, you don’t think or do anything anymore.

    Dear Europe: Mixing tobacco with cannabis SIGNIFICANTLY increases risk to your lungs. Stop it! Educate the public!

  50. @3604Monkeyuface on November 30, 2024 at 1:39 am

    Weed is not the safe drug that its portrayed to be, like anything if abused, it can be incredibly destructive. I gave up after 30 years of telling myself it was safe and using it as a crutch, ive never felt better.
