Sour Technique: Thuringia's First Buds Take a Turn for the Worse
Approximately 100 members of Jena's cannabis club have been left hanging, as per MDR reports. The club's initial harvest has taken a hit during the drying process. An email sent to members confirmed that the harvest exceeded the official guidelines twice, rendering it "unfit for delivery." The exact size of the batch remains undisclosed at the moment.
Looming Threat of "Merz Expropriation"? Nervous Cannabis Associations Behold
Now, the club is joining forces with experts to investigate the cause behind this hiccup. According to their statements, they've reached out to the laboratory and the manufacturers of the cultivation and drying technology in question. Clarifying the cause is essential to prevent another botched harvest. The current growth, ready by mid-August, is undeterred.
More On the Pot Front:
Background: In April 2024, the traffic light administration legalized cannabis to some extent, primarily aimed at reducing illegal trade. The decision sparked massive debates. Since then, licensed associations, such as the one in Jena, have been permitted to cultivate and distribute cannabis to their members. The cannabis legalization discourse continues to dominate political discussions, with the Union—particularly the CSU—pushing for a reversal. In the coalition agreement, however, the topic appears marginally, meaning an evaluation of the cannabis legalization law will be conducted in the autumn.
