Police discovered 26 hemp plants in Wolmirleber allotment garden!

In a small allotment garden in Wolmirsleben, unexpected incidents recently occurred: the police secured 26 cannabis plants in different sizes and initiated an investigation. The 25-year-old tenant of the garden was apparently not aware that the cultivation of cannabis is not permitted in this form. Although he knew that the permitted number of three plants had been exceeded for self -consumption, he thought that it was a cavalier offense.

The plants have been ensured, which is why he now has to work towards the safe clearing of his garden. His lease was also terminated. Such events are not uncommon in the region, especially in view of the current legal situation around cannabis. These should always be kept in mind when caring for the allotments.

The context of cannabis consumption in Germany

On the other hand, the question arises as to how cannabis consumption in Germany is perceived as a whole. Statistics show that almost 40 percent of adults between the ages of 18 and 59 consumed cannabis at least once. For young people between the ages of 12 and 17, it is 7.6 percent that have consumed in the past 12 months. The use of cannabis has a long tradition in Germany; It is used as a intoxicant as well as for medical purposes. Nevertheless, misuse of consumption can also lead to serious health problems, and around 1,800 cases are treated annually due to acute intoxications. However, deaths from cannabis overdoses are not documented, which brings some calming down.

The legal foundations about cannabis have also changed. Federal President Steinmeier recently signed a law to adapt the limit values for cannabis consumption. From August 2024, a new limit of 3.5 nanograms per milliliter of blood applies, comparable to the 0.5-promille limit for alcohol. This means that smoking at the wheel is still considered a serious crime and is not considered a cavalier offense. Stricter rules apply especially for beginners and mixed consumption with alcohol.

If you run a vehicle after the consumption of cannabis, you not only risk the desired driving pleasure, but above all the loss of the driver's license. The debate about possible adjustments to the existing limit values continues because Federal Transport Minister Volker Wissing is striving for a clear regulation.

further incidents in the region

In the past few days there have also been some controls in traffic that indicate the problem of cannabis consumption. A 31-year-old cyclist in Bernburg was noticed due to his clear breath alcohol smell; A test resulted in 2.8 per thousand. Another incident occurred in Schönebeck, where a 41-year-old was also checked with a 2.8 per thousand. In both cases, real irresponsibility became visible that can endanger not only the drivers concerned, but also other road users.

Regardless of the ban, the consumption of cannabis remains a social issue that creates polarization. On the one hand, there is a free and responsible handling of the plant, on the other hand, the need for strict controls to ensure public security. In Wolmirsleben, Bernburg and Schönebeck, the discourse on cannabis is more than just a border issue - it's about legislation, health and the security of everyone.
