  • You can’t plant it outside your flat as growing it where children could reach it is forbidden.

    Also the weather is not stable and warm enough that it’s going to grow well without ideal sunlight on a balcony (windows are already blocking out too much energy)

    I grew 2 plants on an east-facing balcony that only has 3 hours of sun before noon and moved the plants across the flat for afternoon sun through the windows.

    Got less than 5 grams out of it - a friend that I shared the seeds with that used the same earth and pots but has a south-facing balcony got more than 10g from a single plant

    Sure it’s a weed and won’t die easily but the harvest will not be great without good conditions


  • Distributing is still illegal except for clubs which is where the red tape is.

    You also can only grow 50g for yourself but if you harvest more from your plants it’s illegal to gift it to a friend

    Not everyone wants to afford a 2-300€ growbox and not everyone has a balcony with enough light to grow themselves.

    I hope it’s just growing pain with the legalization as the clubs could only apply to start last week.

    Once the first ones get going there’s going to be a blueprint on how to do the same - it’s going to be interesting how the black market will look like in a year when they are established sources of good quality weed







  • But as with all products production cost is not really saying that much

    How much money did the design process take as they surely have some extremely high-paid people doing that? If you then include their deliberate small number of produced goods in order to stay exclusive that design cost is distributed across only a couple of thousand bags. Also what about the designs that didn’t become bags at all?

    I’m not saying it’s worth that price at all as their main drawing point is marketing but just looking at the production cost is a very short-sighted view and a very populist framing, too.

    There’s a reason why actually rich people don’t walk around with the stuff those luxury brands sell in their stores - it’s just peacocking to show how much money you can afford to waste and nothing else










  • The answer is it doesn’t fucking matter, ethnic cleansing is ethnic cleansing.

    So if there is going to be a drought anyway and people are dying in a city no matter what you do and one politician says that showers and even using the Bathtub are okay but we should stop using water for the pools and gardens and another is just giving everyone the go to use whatever they want then “both are bad” because the first option is not perfect is just childish

    By not choosing and enabling the 2nd option you are making matters 100 times worse…
