Hanfverband advertises Oktoberfest for cannabis

The German Hanfverband (DHV) promotes a relaxed way of dealing with cannabis at the world's largest alcohol party. The full-surface bonded bike taxi carries the slogan "Stop Crime - Cannabis normal" and transported the mostly drunken passengers around the "Oktoberfest".

The association is about mutual tolerance. "Letting life and life, that's our message. Just as peacefully drinking beer friends are allowed to party in peace, peaceful hemp friends should not be persecuted by the police, "said Georg Wurth, spokesman for the hemp association. "Bavaria is proud of its beer culture, but an extremely repressive state, when it comes to hemp. This schizophrenia becomes particularly clear at the time of the Oktoberfest. "

The German Hanfverband has been campaigning for the legalization of cannabis since 2002 and is the largest such organization in Germany. The DHV aims for a legal, consumer-friendly market regulation for the stimulant cannabis. (Pm)
