Cannabis in Berlin: Social clubs lose members of pharmacies!

The situation around the cannabis social clubs in Berlin escalated! Despite the partialization of cannabis, the social cultivation clubs in the capital are caught in queue. Reports from Berlin Live Many clubs still have no cannabis, which leads to increasing frustration with the members. Oliver Waack-Jürgensen, chairman of the cannabis social club (CSC) High Ground, emphasizes that about 20% of his club members switch to pharmacies frustrated to supply cannabis. Such a loss of members is a serious threat to the operators because they find the competition from the pharmacies considerable.

The pharmacist Hendrikje Lambertz from the Rosen-Apotheke explains that pharmacies were prepared even before the partialization of cannabis, but they are not profitable due to the high effort. For Lambertz it is clear that the recent increase in patients who receive their cannabis products via online pharmacies is due to the lack of support and the insufficient regulation of the new laws. As you report on hazefly , the pharmacy does not remain the enemy, but fights against the inadequacies of the existing legal framework that takes the opportunity to carry out its own cultivation.

a difficult terrain for clubs and pharmacists

The descriptions of the situation show that the clubs are not only disadvantageous to the pharmacies, but also that there is a lack of clear, functioning legislation that takes into account both sides. Waack-Jürgensen calls up to actively communicate with the legislators so that politicians become aware of the problems of the cultivation clubs and find solutions as quickly as possible. Without these measures, it remains unclear how the clubs can secure their existence, while committees such as the Hazefly platform users encourage users to give reviews for the diverse and latest cannabis social clubs in the city in order to promote the best clubs and create a transparent community.
