The "Green Leaf Society" cultivation association in Marzahn-Hellersdorf has now harvested, prepared, and bagged exactly this amount of product. Over the weekend, the first 50 of the 70 members so far were able to enjoy the first legal cannabis for recreational purposes.
"Every member receives their ten grams of harvest share as well as their additional registered needs," said the chairwoman of the Green Leaf Society, Jana Halbreiter, to the German Press Agency. To avoid a large rush, a delivery date was agreed upon for each interested party.
The cannabis cooperative "Green Leaf Society" is so far the only association in Berlin that has received permission for communal cannabis cultivation. Indoor cultivation takes place in a commercial property, the location of which is kept secret for security reasons. At the end of August, the Marzahn-Hellersdorf district office gave the green light.
"The Green Leaf Society's application can certainly be considered exemplary in many respects," said the district councillor for youth, family, and health, Gordon Lemm (SPD), at the time. "However, the application before us is characterized by a high sense of responsibility and serious structural considerations, which made it much easier for us to approve it." The health and youth protection concept alone is around 40 pages long.
Each member is guaranteed ten grams of cannabis per month. For this, members pay a basic fee of 89 euros. Anyone who needs more can reserve additional amounts, provided that stocks allow it. One gram costs around 8.30 euros, plus military tax. An increase in the cultivation area is planned for the second half of the year, and new members will be accepted starting in February.
Demand is high. "In the first week after receiving the license, we received 250 membership requests," said the club's board chairwoman in September last year. However, they are ensuring a "balanced membership structure" and are not accepting every application.
