In Berlin you could smoke weed in front of cops before the legalization.
They've got bigger things to worry about.

Every cop has bigger things to worry about.

I don’t speak Bavarian?

Let's just say that going to the Netherlands to talk to a Dutch cop would be faster for me than going to Bavaria.

The person smoking weed next to me with skin darker than my own, yes.

Yeah. I don't mean that. But how is it going to look like in bars when everybody suddenly has hundreds or so grams of weed...

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 days ago

Considering that smoking is usually prohibited in bars, not much different.

I'm not sure what you mean.
Why would it affect what bars look like?

I was joking here a bit, but:

  • A big crowd of people has suddenly a lot of weed.
  • People in Berlin like to go to bars and like to smoke weed (a fact)
  • Suddenly there's a lot more weed, many people more are smoking it either in the bar (allowed in a few places at least in Neukolln) or outside the bar (about every other place outside Neukolln)
  • Fun.

So it was my take on laughing a bit about the winter 2024...

They are implying that when faced with the choice of paying €30 for a couple of pints or smoking free weed that many will choose the latter which will impact alcohol sales in bars to a significant degree.
