Germany is walking in Canada's footsteps. Cannabis smoke is now reported as smog here—I'm kidding, but you get the idea. I can't walk in the city without getting involuntarily stoned by government-sponsored mRNA weed.

Another of the means to distract from reality, to cover up the mess and prolong the illusion for the people. One cannot help to feel reminded of Soma, the tranquilizing drug that was used by the members of the "Brave New World" society, in Aldous Huxley's book.
The smell is ugly. Have been noticing it on a few spots even in the inner-city of where I live in recent years already, especially since the Ampel government has come to power.
What Garmany needs is money as they spent it all on Ukraine and Covid.
Now, right on time, they have a new source of income with (soon to be) growing coffee shops and weed tourism, weekend party people and others happy spending money on legalized drug, and drop by drop collecting additional money from weed tax.
The population between 15-55 will be stoned and not willing to make any moves against the policies being implemented on any front.
I remember walking in Amsterdam and cringing and always being on alert and walking around stoned people, majority of them tourists. Such a charming city with all those bridges and museums etc, but the overall impression totally ruined by the empty, chilling look of the people in various states of mind. What do people think what will happen to Germany, the country easily accessible and practically in the middle of Europe!? Every bigger German city can potentially become Amsterdam.
Add the immigrants to it and… well…
Sad….
In addition to all the above, the fact that the government legalizes something like this (a plant) restricts more freedoms - as in Spain that consuming stevia leaf was illegal- and adds taxes to the new economy of war, also the worrying thing is the damage to the body because it is not only a cannabis natural, but a transgenic Cannabis so the brain damage will be noted in mental illnesses as in the United States, Mexico and part of Latin America. Yes, all very ugly. Take care of yourselves and take care your children.
On LinkedIn, I saw a post by a physician (Ingo Voigt) who warned of the consequences of legalization of cannabis for the medical sector:

Also, a host of the health problems that were noted sounds similar to those experienced by recipients of the mRNA vaccines against Covid. Thus, it makes me wonder if the legalization of cannabis may also serve as a cover-up for vaccine-induced damages, given how many health problems that are now emerging can be related to the jabs?
With the legalization of cannabis in Germany today, the medical community is facing new challenges.
The legalization for adults not only means a change in the way society deals with the substance, but also entails health consequences for which we must be prepared in the #emergency rooms.
Studies from countries that have already legalized cannabis show an increase in emergency room visits by young people seeking medical help after cannabis use. Acute effects observed include an increased risk of myocardial infarction and stroke due to the multiple effects of THC on the endothelium, vascular contractility and activation of blood clotting.
In addition, cardiac arrhythmias up to sudden cardiac death have been described. In our experience in recent years, 2-3 cases/year in patients <30 years of age.
Cases of intoxicated adolescents with impaired sanity, psychosis and serious gastrointestinal problems are also likely to increase.
Decisive for the risk of such events is the ratio and concentration of THC to CBD as well as the type of consumption
- Smoking leads to a rapid onset and release of effects, while consumption via food often leads to higher doses (= intoxication) due to slower absorption.
These developments require us as medical professionals to ask specific questions about cannabis use during the medical history.
Have you used THC in any form?
Do you prefer smoking (=joint, spliff) or consumption via
food (=weed cookie, space cake)?
The legalization of cannabis brings with it a responsibility to educate about potential health risks and adapt patient care accordingly. This has clearly been neglected in the discussion in recent weeks.

Well, that's really crazy imo of making it legal to the greater population. When you have to deal with persons who got into a psychosis because of this "green" stuff, then it is absolutely no fun.
Having said that, for some people (imo a minority) it may be of help.

I was thinking exactly the same when reading the bolded part! Crazy!
Is anyone familiar with this presentation, I could not find the name Cyrus Janssen in the search, so here is:
Germany is a direct target in case you haven't noticed
Session 10 October 2015
None of the above is seriously new to us, but it is a short presentation of the main points. Since the following excerpt from 2015, the dressing has changed, but apparently not the target.
Germany is a direct target in case you haven't noticed
Session 10 October 2015
Some days ago, a worldwide renown machine builder - Illig - filed for bankruptcy.
And today the German government approved that almost anyone can change their gender every year. Opening the doors against women and children.
Jährliche Geschlechtsänderung erlaubt: Bundestag beschließt "Selbstbestimmungsgesetz"
Der Bundestag hat das umstrittene "Selbstbestimmungsgesetz" beschlossen. Damit ist es bald jedem möglich, seinen Geschlechtseintrag bei den Behörden einfach so ändern zu lassen – und das alle zwölf Monate neu. Biologische Tatsachen spielen dabei keine Rolle.
This is not a joke either. The transport minister of Germany is seriously proposing a ban for driving cars and even trucks on weekends because of “the climate“!
www.politico.eu
I tell ya, Germany and pretty much the rest of the west is ruled by sickos, to say the least! It is hard to even keep up with all the “measures“ that are seriously being discussed and implemented especially in Germany. Corona was the perfect catalyst to move all the worst people into power.
I think especially Germany is a lost cause at this point because so many people here are so utterly spineless and authoritarian. Most people keep on following every consivable nonsense and even outshine the authorities themselves by preemptively being more extreme and more extremely dumb. I think that is true in the west as a whole, but Germany, as usual, outshines everyone else in term of sheer complacency toward evil.
German minister threatens ‘indefinite driving bans’ on weekends
The ruling coalition has been fighting over legislation that sets out binding climate targets.

When thinking about Germany once having been regarded as the "Country of Poets and Thinkers" and as it had obviously been quite a flourishing one before WW 1 in particular when there was an economic and cultural partnership with Russia and mostly no Anglo-Saxon influence (via government, military bases) yet, it seems to have been a target for quite a long time for STS forces given to what has become of it.
The targeting might have been reaching much further back in time, even to the times of the Roman empire trying to subject those unruly German / Teutonic tribes and not being able to get much further east than the Rhine river in their quest to conquer.
And now it seems they just want to finish the country off, oppressing the people with senseless measures, impoverishing them further so they can't get away (emigrate), squashing dissent and potential and thus making them all the more miserable - food for 4D STS. And as Germany is the country with the highest population in Europe, there's aplenty of it for the entropic forces.
But from the darkness comes light as the saying goes - and even if it may be just in tiny little ways the people who withstand the darkness to one degree or another will navigate, find opportunities to continue managing here nonetheless while helping each other like it was in previous bad times.

IOW, those pesky late 1800’s once again.
I was thinking about this ban.
I think that Covid lockdowns went so well for the government because it was first imposed during early spring and later during winter when people wee not traveling much anyway, and if they did want to travel, they would "only" have to take a vaccine and - viola! - you can travel again. Many, if not all, restrictions magically disappeared when the summer came and people were traveling all over the country and abroad for a vacation.
Here in the West Germany, I noticed that people like their vacations and they like to travel - either to the lakes in the summer or to the zoos or to the seaside or or.... Especially on weekends and especially when there is even a hint of the sun - they are all out and about!
So, if this law really do pass without even a blink from the people, then Germany is really doomed. And not only in the way "the programming is complete" doomed, but can you imagine the impact on the economy? Deliveries to supermarkets, people who go and do shopping on Saturdays as they cannot manage to do it on the weekdays, what about all those weekend-shoppers who go out and roam the stores and malls, what about the restaurants, bars, sports centers, etc etc.... They all will suffer because of it.
Doesn´t anyone remember what happened with 9€-Ticket and all the crowds and problems it caused? In the end, people even stopped using the public transport all together and it didn´t do much in making people use their cars!!!
I.e.:
9-Euro-Ticket in Bonn and region: Rush of passengers causes overcrowded trains and long delays
Over the Whitsun weekend, many people made use of the 9-Euro-Ticket. At the same time, several large events took place in Bonn. This led to overcrowded trains and sometimes long waiting times. According to the railway, things should be better in the coming weeks.ga.de
Rush of passengers causes overcrowded trains and long delays
he introduction of the 9-Euro-Ticket caused crowded trains and full platforms in Bonn and the region at the weekend. In addition, there were cancellations of trains. On Saturday, visitors to the Querbeat festival in the Rheinaue were stuck at Bonn's main station and in Ramersdorf on their way home. The special trains used by the public utility company only partially relieved the passenger load.
Local traffic in Bonn: Hours of waiting for a walk-on train
A reader wrote to our editorial office after her experiences over the weekend that she would increasingly switch to the car and avoid local transport in future. She had been travelling for hours in the direction of Siegburg, partly because of cancelled trains, partly because of unexpected timetable changes.
Another reader reported a two-hour wait on the platform before she could travel to Düsseldorf. She had simply had to skip several regional trains because they were filled to the brim. "I was just about to turn around and skip my birthday," she said.
Upon request, the municipal utility told our editorial staff that Deutsche Bahn had asked in advance for additional trains between Cologne and Bonn to relieve the regional trains. According to SWB, they complied, but were only able to deploy two additional trams.
SWB spokeswoman Stefanie Zießnitz said that there were also delays of up to 40 minutes on the company's own lines, for example on tram 66. This was due to the good weather, several major events in the Cologne/Bonn area and the 9-euro ticket. The driving staff had to work longer on Saturday night. Zießnitz also pointed out that bicycles should not be taken along if possible. The trains should be kept free for people with walkers, prams or wheelchairs. Deutsche Bahn NRW has a similar opinion on the transport of bicycles. This cannot be guaranteed in the near future.
This is how the transport companies are preparing for the coming weeks
DB Regio NRW has assigned more than 50 service and security staff to cope with the rush. To ensure that passengers get on and off the train smoothly at the platform, DB is planning to deploy coordinators for passengers at 17 particularly busy, large stations in NRW, especially at weekends and on public holidays. In addition to providing information, they will ensure that passengers are better distributed on the platform so that everyone can board and disembark as quickly as possible and the trains can depart on time. According to the press release, cleaners and repairers are also working extra shifts and weekend shifts to cope with the situation. Due to the increased number of passengers, DB Regio is running more than 50 additional trains.

Reports of overloaded trains and 700 problems a day over Pentecost weekend
The Pentecost weekend marked the first real test of Germany's 9-euro ticket. Deutsche Bahn reported 700 problems each day, including overloaded trains.www.iamexpat.de
Reports of overloaded trains and 700 problems a day over Pentecost weekend
The 9-euro ticket has had its first major test over the weekend, as the Pentecost holiday caused passenger numbers to swell. Taking stock, Deutsche Bahn declared that the weekend was a mixed bag, with overcrowding and congestion on many trains, some incidents between passengers and staff, but generally a positive mood.
Deutsche Bahn reports 700 problems a day over Pentecost weekend
Cheap tickets, good weather and a nationwide holiday combined this weekend to cause a run on the railways. “As expected, the 9-euro campaign triggered a great rush on regional trains, which led to significantly more cases of overcrowding nationwide,” said the vice chairperson of the General Works Council DB Regio, Ralf Damde.
Over the first long weekend with the 9-euro ticket, more than 400 local trains were overcrowded, meaning passengers had to be turned away and bicycles often had to be left behind. There were around 700 reports of congestion, disruptions, or problems involving passengers each day over the Pentecost weekend. While some verbal attacks on staff were reported, generally, Damde praised the patience and consideration of passengers.
Passengers needed more help using trains
It was not just the trains themselves that were overloaded, but Deutsche Bahn staff members as well: the company said it had to approve thousands of overtime working hours over the weekend as staff members dealt with passengers struggling to get their heads around the geography of Germany’s regional railway network, or those who had not travelled by train for a long time and needed a reminder on how the whole thing worked.
“Overall, the passengers needed significantly more help than usual,” Damde said. “This also included the fact that many people who hadn’t taken the train for a long time didn’t know that masks were still compulsory in public transport.”
In an overview:
Tschüss 9-euro ticket: Five unintended consequences and Five lessons
The regime of the highly sought 9-euro monthly ticket shall be coming to an end today. For those who are unfamiliar with what the 9-euro ticket means, it is a limited special offer for local public transport in Germany financed by the German government.www.linkedin.com
Five unintended consequences and Five lessons
Unintended consequences
1. Chaos in trains and stations: This is one that every user of public transport can resonate with. The high patronage of the 9-euro ticket resulted not only in over-crowded trains and stations but also long delays and sometimes cancellations of trips. In June 2022, only 58% of long-distance trains were punctual – a 14-year low. This share of delay is worse when you consider that cancelled train trips were not included.
2. Fatigue of employees and wear on trains: this is largely a consequence of the first. The ticket controllers, drivers and cleaning employees had a tough time battling the surge in passengers. Unruly passengers who disobeyed basic rules did not make the situation better for employees who often had to work overtime. Similarly, the trains were stretched to their limits as it was evidenced by several defective toilets in train coaches. On one occasion in June, all the toilets on a regional train were non-functional.
3. Poor user experience for non-frequent users: The 9-euro ticket was not only to serve as a welfare instrument but also as a marketing tool for public transport. Sadly, a good service might have been wrong marketed. While frequent users of public transport are familiar with the serenity of regular train rides, the sad experiences for non-frequent users could leave a sour taste in their mouths and reinforce their justification for private commutes.
4. Threat to multimodality: one of the successes of Germany’s sustainable transport movement is multimodality. Bicycles contribute a large part to this - thanks to the availability of bike-friendly infrastructure. Even trains often have an entire coach dedicated to storing bikes on train trips. Unfortunately, some operators had to ban bike-accompanying passengers to accommodate the huge turnout of passengers. An important element that is easy to miss is those bike-accompanying passengers often alight in areas that are sparingly served by buses to complete their trips.
5. Increase in non-essential trips: preliminary surveys show that a significant share of trips made during this period would have not been made if the 9-euro ticket was not available – hence non-essential. As one passenger put it, “I plan to visit friends all over Germany”. If validated, this would be counterproductive as the aim is to shift private commute to public transport and not simply to increase public transport ridership.
Lessons
1. High desire to use public transport: perhaps the most obvious lesson is that residents are willing to use public transport under the right conditions, particularly pricing. The record sales volume of 52 million tickets made by the transport operators as well as the high ridership recorded is sufficient proof of this.
2. Ticket pricing structure: despite the success of most regional transport associations (Verkehrsverbund) in infrastructure provision, their pricing structure remains an impediment to passengers’ travel experience. It is common for Verkehrsverbund in big cities to have different prices multiple (often > 10) for weekly and monthly tickets based on several rings and zones. The simplicity offered by the 9-euro ticket was a relief to passengers.
3. Private car trips: some surveys have shown that the number of private car trips prevented during the 9-euro ticket period was negligible. Some put the figure as low as 3%. This implies that cheap public transport ticket is not a sufficient driver for retiring private commutes. The fuel subsidy offered in parallel was also counteractive as it made private commutes cheaper. If society is desirous of making a switch from private car trips to public transport, 'creative destruction' measures must be adopted to discourage private car ownership and use.
4. Rural development: One of the few groups opposed to the 9-euro ticket was rural dwellers. The public transport coverage of these communities is often poor. This section of the society considered it more important for their public transport infrastructure to be improved. Special attention needs to be given to the design and implementation of public transport in rural areas so that the gains made in the cities are not eroded.
5. Inadequate capacity: Although Deutsche Bahn and the Verkehrsverbund might boast of a healthy fleet, the chaotic conditions experienced by passengers in trains and train stations during this period reveal that the capacity is just enough for a business-as-usual scenario. If any measure shall be taken to promote the use of public transport in the future, the question of capacity must be properly addressed before the roll-out. This is critical to ensure sustainable results.
The PTB is really REALLY trying to plunge Germany to the deepest of the hell holes and they are doing good job at it. I really hope that this year´s elections will remove the Greens and the crowd form the parliament and that the people will wake up and stop this whole nonsense. I´m not holding my breath....
