For anyone that works in the cannabis space you know it’s not easy. The confusion and ambiguity that federal prohibition brings to state legal markets is the just the tip of the iceberg. I hate to say it but most of the players in this industry from cultivators to retailers to ancillary businesses to the cannabis tech space, have their heads so far up their asses they can’t see the light of day. I’ve been burned by so many companies, many of which are household names in the space, it’s hard to imagine anyone doing things correctly. You may be thinking maybe this is a ME problem. Well I’ve worked in plenty of industries and none have been nearly as egregious as the cannabis industry. But I digress. There are also some really great players in this space that are trying to do things correctly in ways that promote consumption of cannabis in the right way as medicine. One such company is @brothers grimm seeds. Marc Emmelmann and team were kind enough to hook me up with seeds for my personal grow and while I’m only a couple weeks into flower the plants are beautiful so far and growing very aggressively. In the mass scale US cannabis space I don’t know if there is hope for us but I believe small batch home grown cannabis has an opportunity to be a movement. The reason this is so important (and I know I speak to this to the level of nauseam) is that most commercially grown cannabis in the US is not medicine but mass produced, pesticide and PGR laced poison. So grow your own and hit up Brothers Grimm seeds to get some great genetics.

How Safe Is Your Homegrown Cannabis in Germany? As of April 1st, it's legal for individuals in Germany to cultivate their own cannabis at home, provided they are over the age of 18 and grow no more than three plants. There's been a massive surge in home cultivation, with many online German stores selling out of cultivation equipment. However, I believe the government should get more involved in supporting entrepreneurs who want to set up cannabis testing centers. Even if you have the skills and knowledge to grow your own cannabis, you're still at risk from various molds, parasites, and other elements that could affect the quality of your homegrown cannabis—and by extension, your health and well-being. I think it should be possible for someone growing cannabis at home to have their product tested. Of course, there would be a cost, but it should be affordable for everyone. This would give growers peace of mind, knowing exactly what's in their cannabis and how strong it is. Currently, as far as I know, there is no legal way to get your cannabis tested, and I believe there should be.

🌿 Since the partial #legalization of #cannabis for non-medical purposes in Germany earlier this year, individuals are allowed to grow up to three cannabis plants at home or join a cultivation association (Anbauvereinigung) to grow together with others. While these activities require #seeds (or seedlings), the legislator has remained surprisingly unclear on where seeds may be procured. It is expressly regulated that consumers are allowed to order seeds online from other EU countries, but a common interpretation of the Consumer Cannabis Act (KCanG) comes to the conclusion that the commercial sale of the same seeds by German wholesalers is prohibited. Peter Homberg and I have discussed this paradox situation in the 5th edition of The Legal Industry Reviews Germany (at p. 30/31): https://lnkd.in/eV26sZ9m
