Wellness - Bavaria's cannabis policies aim for the utmost restriction.
Applications to set up these places will be meticulously examined to deter people's cravings and comply with youth protection laws, Gerlach replied to a query from the German Press Agency. Inspectors will check these sites during the application process itself and will revisit them every four months. "Plus, there'll be random inspections," said Gerlach.
"My main goal is to shield young people as much as I can from the risks of legalizing cannabis," she said. The creation of a central control unit at the Bavarian Health and Food Safety Authority is progressing smoothly, and it'll start its operations on July 1. Two locations have been planned - one in Oberschleißheim near Munich and one in Erlangen. You can only submit applications for a "Social Club" recognition later.
Gerlach highlighted that there's scarcely any legal cannabis available in the market right now. Growing cooperatives don't exist yet. Although cannabis cultivation has been permitted since April, the plants need a minimum of eight weeks till they're ready to harvest.
