Cannabis machine looted: 22-year-old has to pay 400 euros!

In Zweibrücken, an incident around a cannabis machine caused excitement. On November 11, 2023, a 22-year-old man took hemp products worth around 990 euros without paying for it. He used a Masterpin to obtain a total of 330 grams of CBD and HHC products, such as the Saarbrücker Newspaper reported. The machine was monitored by a camera that recorded the incidents. Managing Director Niklas Wolf von Green Ocean, the operator, explained that the camera was installed due to a lack of payments.

Although the defendant did not make a statement during the trial and waived a defender, the youth court led to the decision to pronounce a warning. However, the proof of the large value of goods failed to materialize. The result was a fine of 400 euros, which has to be paid to the non -profit support association "no power to drugs". The tag yield of 101 euros was collected.

Investigations throughout Germany

The problem with cannabis machines is not limited to Zweibrücken. The police are currently investigating numerous machines in Hesse and other federal states. In a recent large-scale operation, automated sales outlets were cleared in cities such as Marburg and Frankfurt and their content ensured what the Hessenschau reported. The investigators confiscated a total of 3.4 kilograms of CBD products worth over 34,000 euros and carried out searches by the operators. This control is no coincidence, because in Germany only hemp products with a THC content of less than 0.2 percent may be sold.

The monitoring of cannabis machines shows that the authorities in Germany actively try to protect the legal framework to protect cannabis trading, especially to prevent abuse for intoxicating purposes. In addition to ensuring content, cash from the machine operators are also checked.

effects on road traffic

in parallel to the discussion about cannabis machines, the safety in road traffic is also increasingly in focus. In December 2023, the Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport set up a working group to develop a THC limit value in road traffic. This led to the adoption of a law that came into force in August 2024. The new limit is 3.5 ng/ml in the blood serum and excludes the beginners and mixed consumption of cannabis and alcohol.

While society is trying to deal with cannabis responsibly, Green Ocean takes a step towards clarification with his newly founded "Cannabis Green Ocean Social Club". The aim of the association is to inform members about cannabis and to support the legal extension. Managing Director Wolf also reported a high demand for CBD oil, especially among older people, which shows that awareness and acceptance for hemp products in society are increasing.
