Kiffen erlaubt, besitzen verboten? Gegen das paradoxe deutsche Cannabis-Verbot wächst der Widerstand

Cannabis fällt in Deutschland unter das Betäubungsmittelgesetz. Daraus geht hervor: Konsumieren ist erlaubt, aber Besitz, Handel und Anbau von Cannabis sind verboten. Hartnäckig hält sich das Gerücht, dass kleine Mengen dabei strafrechtlich geduldet würden. Tatsächlich liegt die Grenze des Gesetzes aber bei Null. Die berühmt berüchtigte „geringfügige“ Menge“ kann lediglich dazu führen, dass das Verfahren eingestellt wird – und in den meisten Fällen findet das auch statt. Darauf kann man sich aber nicht verlassen, denn die Entscheidung liegt im Ermessen des jeweiligen Staatsanwalts. Es ist noch nicht einmal einheitlich geregelt, bis wie viel Gramm die Justiz von einer „geringfügigen“ Menge ausgeht. Das unterscheidet sich von Bundesland zu Bundesland und kann zwischen 6 und 15 Gramm liegen. Die rechtliche Situation in Deutschland ist also ziemlich paradox, und sogar Polizei und Juristen protestieren dagegen.

Selbst wer Cannabis nicht besessen, sondern nur konsumiert hat, kann in Deutschland durchaus in Schwierigkeiten geraten. Zum Beispiel im Straßenverkehr: Auch wenn jemand so wenig Cannabis geraucht hat, dass er nicht berauscht ist, kann die Polizei ihm den Führerschein abnehmen. Laut Gesetz begeht jeder, der unter dem Einfluss von Betäubungsmitteln ein Kraftfahrzeug führt, eine Ordnungswidrigkeit, die mit Fahrverbot und Geldbuße bestraft werden muss. Aber wann steht man noch unter dem Einfluss der Droge und wann nicht mehr? Die Polizei macht das nicht an der Wirkung fest, sondern beispielsweise am THC-Gehalt im Blut. THC aber hält sich mehr als 12 Stunden im Blut und von einer berauschenden Wirkung ist dann nicht mehr auszugehen. Bislang fehlen Grenzwerte und Messtechniken, die hier den tatsächlichen Einfluss des Cannabis zu einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt sicher feststellen könnten.

Nicht nur in Kiffer-Kreisen, auch unter Staatsanwälten, Richtern und Jura-Professoren findet die bisherige Regelung wenige Freunde. Vertreter eben dieser Berufsgruppen haben sich deshalb im Schildower Kreis zusammengeschlossen. Sie halten das Cannabis-Verbot für schädlich und verfassungswidrig. Ihr Argument: In Deutschland muss ein Verbot dem Prinzip der Verhältnismäßigkeit entsprechen. Das ist im Grundgesetz so vorgeschrieben und bedeutet, dass ein Verbot „geeignet“, „erforderlich“ und „angemessen“ sein muss. Im Fall von Cannabis seien alle drei Aspekte nicht erfüllt, behaupten die Experten.

Viele Kritiker bezweifeln, dass das Cannabis-Verbot im Sinne des Grundgesetzes überhaupt als Verbot „geeignet“ ist. Ziel des Gesetzes sei es schließlich, den Konsum zu reduzieren und tatsächlich würde dies nicht erreicht. Die Experten berufen sich auf Studien, die die Auswirkungen von Verboten auf die Konsumzahlen untersucht haben sowie auf ein Programm der Vereinten Nationen zur Drogenbekämpfung von 1998. Ergebnis auch dieser Studie: Zehn Jahre nach Beginn hatte sich der Konsum durch Repressionen nicht verändert. Das Cannabis-Verbot ist laut Kritikern auch nicht „erforderlich“. Nach unserer freiheitlichen Grundordnung entspreche „erlaubt“ der Standard-Einstellung. Diese Freiheit dürfe nur mit dem „mildesten Mittel“ eingeschränkt werden. Bei Alkohol zum Beispiel gelten Auflagen zum Alter oder Sanktionen für Autofahrten unter Alkoholeinfluss. Gebe es auch solche alternativen rechtlichen Möglichkeiten, sei ein Verbot nicht das mildeste Mittel. Auch bei Cannabis sind laut Experten solche Auflagen denkbar, so dass man, wie bei Alkohol, auch hier ohne ein offizielles Verbot auskommen könnte.

Juristen kritisieren am Cannabis-Verbot auch, dass es nicht „angemessen“ sei und der staatlichen Gemeinschaft mehr schade als nütze. So würden Konsumenten Opfer von Beschaffungskriminalität, die Prohibition fördere den Schwarzmarkt und die Strafverfolgung verschlinge Milliardenbeträge, die beispielsweise in der Drogenprävention besser aufgehoben wären. Mittlerweile haben sich auch Staatsanwälte sowie die Polizeigewerkschaft in den Kreis der Prohibitions-Gegner gereiht. Bisher aber haben die Kritiker des deutschen Cannabis-Verbots ihr Ziel noch nicht erreicht. Im Jahre 1994 hatte das Bundesverfassungsgericht die Vereinbarkeit mit dem Grundgesetz schon einmal zu prüfen – das Verbot wurde bestätigt.

Feminized cannabis seeds: reasons for success

posted in: US Hemp Co 0

 

It is not unusual to see on web sites that sell cannabis seeds legally, where they will advertise feminized seeds along with their products. Not only that, it will be typically 2-3 times the price of regular seeds. So the next obvious question is, why would somebody want to buy something that costs much more? The answer is simple, feminized seeds guarantee a female cannabis crop. Why this obsession towards female crops?

Well there are two genders for marijuana plants like some other species of plants. The male plant will also grow flowers which will in turn fertilize the female plants, which will produce seeds. If you were to buy an ordinary pack of seeds, it will be a mix of both male and female plants. You will not know for sure until you plant them and they start growing into adult plants. The way how feminine seeds are produced is, they “shock” the plants with a special solution called a silver solution, this will “force” the plants to produce only feminized seeds, that will in turn grow up to be female plants.

There are two main reasons why growers want the female plants. Firstly the male plants will not produce enough THC which is the active compound that makes marijuana desirable to users. It is the female plants that have high amounts of THC, therefore making it a much more desired and valued as a crop. Secondly if you grow a mixture of male and female plants, you will have to identify the male plants as quickly as possible, before they fertilize the female plants. The reason this is crucial is because once the female plants are fertilized, the buds will grow smaller and will start to produce seeds. If they are not fertilized, that means the buds will grow bigger, and therefore more useful for the grower.

So the next time you grow a crop, you will not have to deal with the headache of identifying the male plants and can have the peace of mind knowing that they will all grow up to be large bud producing female plants.

Female Cannabis Seeds

posted in: US Hemp Co 0

There has been quite a lot of talk about the differences between male and female cannabis plants recently. Most people have no idea what is being talked about with this topic, however if you want to start a successful home based growing operation (which requires no outside input) having a feminized cannabis seed on hand will always ensure that the offspring of your existing plants is maintained.

Because of the higher pricing for feminized cannabis plants, we wanted to look at the best possible option for those who have an existing cannabis operation and are looking to expand. Being self-serving in this regard not only lowers the cost of the operation (because you dont need to keep buying seeds from suppliers), but it also allows you to grow your favourite varieties and create hybrid plants which suit your exact tastes.

Creating Your Own Hybrid Variation

Without going in to too much depth regarding how cross fertilization occurs in plants, we do want to touch on the topic of creating hybrids from feminized cannabis seeds. Essentially, if you want to create your own hybrid, you need to cross fertilize two different varieties to get the end result.

This is all there is to it. If you have bought hybrid seeds off the internet before, you are actually buying the end product of two crossed varieties of cannabis seeds. But this doesnt explain why you need a feminized cannabis seed to complete the process. Lets take a look at that now.

Why Feminized Cannabis Seeds are Important

Selecting a feminized cannabis seed is important much the same as choosing a real life partner is important for procreating. Ultimately, plants reproductive systems are based on the same theory as that of a human being, and the female plant needs to be fertilized by the male. These days, the majority of top yielding cannabis plants are male, and in some cases an entire garden will consist of male plants only.

Therefore, it is important that If you are looking to make your own hybrids or do your own cross breeding, you have a feminized cannabis seed on hand to help out.

Cost of Feminized Cannabis Seeds

Because feminized versions of cannabis seeds are slightly rarer, the cost of these types of seeds will vary in the medium to upper ranges.

Many people find that when they buy a feminized cannabis seed, they will be informed of the following:

Price of $ 100 to $ 400 for the seeds.
Sometimes the seeds are out of stock for many weeks at a time.
Some suppliers dont stock specific types of feminized cannabis seeds due to their rarity.
Despite all of this, you are able to get your hands on some fantastic quality feminized cannabis seeds from online suppliers who will not charge you the world. Our advice would be to shop around to find the best possible deal each and every time you look to buy, as prices can change rapidly and without warning.
