Munich’s Oktoberfest might become a “cannabis-free” zone despite the recent legalization of the drug.
Well, hold onto your beer mugs, folks, because Oktoberfest might soon be declared a “cannabis-free” zone. Yes, you heard that right. In a move that seems to defy the logic of, well, everything Oktoberfest stands for, Bavaria’s leader is putting his foot down on the idea of turning the beer-soaked festivities into what he calls a “stoner’s paradise.” Because who needs to unwind with a joint when you can chug liters of beer instead, right?

Now, picture this: millions of people, gallons of beer, and a whole lot of lederhosen-clad revelry. Sounds like the perfect recipe for a good time, doesn’t it? But wait, there’s a plot twist! While Germany might have given the green light to cannabis on a federal level, Bavaria is saying “Nein, danke” to the idea of letting Oktoberfest-goers light up a joint alongside their pretzels and bratwurst. Because nothing says “prost” quite like a strict cannabis ban at a beer festival. Cheers to that!
