First cannabis cultivation in Hesse: Broccoli Buddies are setting an example!
The first cannabis clubs in Hesse have received the green light for cultivation, which is proving to be a historic milestone in the implementation of the cannabis law. The Darmstadt regional council announced that the “Broccoli Buddies” in the Vogelsberg district received the first approval, followed by another growing association in the Gießen district. This development comes about five months after the legalization of cannabis cultivation in special clubs, which have been able to submit applications since July 2024. Over 27 applications have already been received, but there are reports that there are delays due to incomplete documentation.
Bureaucratic hurdles and requirements
The new regulations are characterized by strict requirements. Among other things, the associations must submit detailed information about the number of members, property locations and cultivation areas, as well as the annual amount of cannabis planned. According to the terms of consumer protection, a maximum of 25 grams of cannabis may be possessed by an individual, which underlines the evidence of the changing cannabis culture in Germany. In addition, attention is drawn to the necessary training for prevention officers to ensure safety standards when dealing with cannabis. Hearsay shows that several clubs are hoping for faster approval while dealing with bureaucratic hurdles, such as the need for board members to have a certificate of good conduct that must be proven to be current. Further information about the specific requirements and their course can be found on the website of the Darmstadt Regional Council rp-darmstadt.hessen.de reported.
These steps are part of a broader social change that is strategically redefining how we deal with cannabis consumption. The cultivation of these clubs not only takes into account a legal requirement, but also ushers in a new era for the cannabis community in Hesse. The development highlights how legal acts can impact reality, while the first clubs are now allowed to take the vital next steps within the legal framework.
