No weed, just beer: Bavaria bans smoking cannabis at Oktoberfest and beer gardens
Bavaria will ban cannabis consumption at public events and outdoor spaces to limit public use, announces the state's government.
The ban includes popular locations like beer gardens, Oktoberfest, and Munich's Englischer Garten.
Bavaria's move follows Germany's recent legalization of small amounts of recreational cannabis, highlighting the state's conservative-led government opposition to the law.
The state government approves cannabis bans for folk festivals, beer gardens and also for the English Garden. And they also want to restrict cultivation as much as possible.
The partial legalization of cannabis could not be prevented by Bavaria. For this reason, the state government is now banning smoking in specific areas. Communities should also be able to ban consumption in certain areas.
