For a number of months, legalization of cannabis has been openly discussed around Germany. While some communities are just waiting for the draft to pass in the Bundestag.....a couple of major urban areas have been aggressive and wanted to be a 'model-community'..
What this meant? Well....you'd get the first 'out-of-the-gate' permission to open up cannabis shops.
Frankfurt was on this path.
So the city had conducted a survey....to get 'feelings' from the general public.
Somewhere yesterday....in Frankfurt, the results of the survey were laid out, and a problem was put on the table. Apparently....a fair number of the survey results were manipulated.
What it appears like? Well....someone got ahold of the original survey, copied it, and then inserted their own responses (say from the 10,000 sent out....an extra 500 came in).
Then the guys responsible for this....the 'Red Kiffer Faction' (yeah, that's what they call themselves)....confessed.
I don't think the cops care, and it's questionable if fake surveys are a crime.
Validity? Yeah, that's questioned now.
To be honest....I think if you just walked around the city and asked folks between 18 and 40....probably a quarter of them smoke weed at least once a week.
Reality? I'd say by early spring of 2024...legalization will be done, and legal weed will be sold in Germany. The end of weed dealers? No one really suggests that. That didn't happen in Colorado.
