hemp parade in Berlin: A moving demand for far-reaching cannabis layingization

The hemp parade, which took place in Berlin this year, brought together several hundred people to raise their voice for a more comprehensive legalization of cannabis. With around 650 participants, the mood during the event was both exuberant and peaceful, which underlines interest in this social issue.

call for the reform of the cannabis law

The central motto of the parade was "Legalization, but right!". The new cannabis law, which came into force in April, was particularly pointed out. The initiators of the demonstration criticize the existing regulations as inadequate. In particular, the necessary implementation of the so -called pillar 2 is denounced, which provides for the establishment of model projects for cannabis delivery in specialist shops. Currently access to cannabis is only possible through memberships in special cannabis clubs, which many find too restrictive.

Development of the Cannabis Act and its effects

Since April 1, 2023, people aged 18 and over may have cannabis under certain conditions. Certain limits apply to the public: a maximum of 25 grams may be carried in public and up to 50 grams may be stored at home. In addition, the private cultivation of up to three plants is allowed. However, violation of these regulations can be punished with high fines, which reinforces the discomfort among the population.

on site at Alexanderplatz

The beginning of the parade took place at Alexanderplatz, one of the most famous places in Berlin, which is often a stage for protests and social movements. Many of the demonstrators and demonstrators smoked joints at the opening rally, which reflects the acceptance of cannabis in society. The event made it clear the endeavor of the participants to further promote the discourse on cannabis in the general public and to help them to break through a possible decriminalization.

A trend with influence on the community

The hemp parade not only shows the growing support for a more liberal drug policy, but also the social change in terms of cannabis. More and more people are pleading for responsible use of the drug after the first steps to legalize have been taken. The emotional and peaceful atmosphere of the event suggests that many participants are longing for a change in politics and social attitude towards cannabis.

This year's hemp parade is a clear sign that the dialogue about the legalization of cannabis continues in Germany and that many citizens are willing to take to the streets for their beliefs.
