THE PARTY THAT NEVER ROLLED – TWO YEARS CANNABIS LEGALIZATION

Two years of legal cannabis in Germany. Or, put differently: two years in which a plant went from social taboo to fully regulated political topic. What used to raise eyebrows now sits in legislation, policy debates and business models.

GYO – GROW YOUR OWN: WHY URBAN GARDENING KEESP BOOMING AND WHAT THIS HAS TO DO WITH CANANBIS

Vote green, cross at the green light, green behind the ears, or simply the greenest balcony. It doesn’t get any greener—or rather, it does. Because it’s time to plant. Indoors, outdoors—especially outdoors. At least once we’re sure there won’t be any more frost. And according to old wisdom, that won’t be until May. But we’re [...] by Jule Steinbrück

FASHION WEAK DURING FASHION WEEK: A LOOK AT FASHION, SUSTAINABILITY MYTHS & A FIBER THAT STILL DOESN`T SHOW UP**

FROM MESSY TO MESS(ARABLE) – THC UNITS, TRESHOLDS, AND WHAT THEY MEAN FOR CONSCIOUS CANNABIS USE

Alcohol comes with units, guidelines, and reference values. Cannabis, by contrast, has remained surprisingly vague. A lot, strong, too much — but measured against what.

2025 – WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

Katy Perry goes to space, the Louvre gets robbed in under seven minutes, Friedrich Merz becomes Chancellor of Germany – and Donald Trump is, well, part of the global equation again. The Youth Word of the Year is “the crazy”: a multi-purpose expression for everything between speechlessness, polite disengagement, and a short “okay.” Chosen by [...] by Jule Steinbrück

When Germany partially legalised cannabis in April 2024, it marked a historic shift: stigma eased, outdated narratives fell away, and the country finally stepped into a more modern conversation about cannabis.

We reported on this back in summer: the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture was planning a law to liberalise industrial hemp – a step that would finally put an end to the absurd legal situation surrounding non-intoxicating hemp and CBD products. But our hopes for an end to the long-overdue, completely absurd regulations on [...] by Jule Steinbrück

RESPONSIBILITY OVER MARKETING: GERMANY MOVES TO END CANNABIS MAIL DELIVERY

A little over a year ago, the Cannabis Act (KCanG) came into force — marking the start of a new era for cannabis culture in Germany. For the first time, cannabis was removed from the Narcotics Act, outdated stigmas were broken, and the plant finally received a modern legal framework. What was initially celebrated as [...] by Jule Steinbrück

GOODBYE AUTUMN BLUES: WHAT MAKES CBD THE PARNTER IN CRIME THROUGH THE DARKER DAYS

The 1st of September marks the start of meteorological autumn, and on the 23rd, astronomical autumn officially begins. No matter how much we try to stretch out the summer – one thing is certain: bikini season is over, evenings are getting shorter, and warm breezes turn into cool autumn winds. With this seasonal shift often [...] by Jule Steinbrück
