I was looking at business news this morning.....of ARD (public TV) and this item got my curiosity.
So, LIDL is this grocery operation in Germany, and I tend to give them pretty high marks on service and products.
Recently, they put a new item on the shelf. It was a hemp-product 'cookie'. So there's been some investigation done (no one is saying LIDL did it or some university group, or the police).
LIDL removed the item from the shelves yesterday. Reasoning? They say this company (called 'Mary and Juana', from Czech) is making a cookie with too high of THC. This was suggested to trigger "mood swings" and listless behavior. Yeah....kinda like you smoked a really good joint of marijuana.
LIDL was even nice enough to offer full pay-back, if you returned the cookies to them (even without a receipt).
I checked....Amazon.de still has the chocolate product up for sale (5.90 Euro).
I also checked a couple of Czech on-line shops....they market the cookies, the chocolate, and the muffins. You can order the product and get it through your German post services.
If you ask me....LIDL's action probably helped to pump up sales and the Czech folks are very appreciative of the 'campaign'.
To get dopey or high off the chocolate? I'm just guessing but you'd probably have to chump through five or six bars to get to a basic stage of dopiness. That's probably three times the cost factor of a normal regular joint (at Amsterdam prices).
