WHO WE ARE

Preamble

Cannabis Social Clubs are cultivation communities of cannabis users and growers who organize their personal use and cultivation collectively or, where the cultivation of cannabis is not yet permitted, strive for the legalization of the consumption and cultivation of cannabis for personal use. Since the cultivation of cannabis plants containing THC, even for personal use, is still prohibited in the Federal Republic of Germany, and is also actively pursued. The tasks of the association will initially consist of working as an interest group of cannabis users for the amendment of drug legislation in Germany, and accepting and regulating drug policy in Frankfurt to include youth and consumer protection, education and prevention.

After legalization and the creation of a legally compliant possibility, the Cannabis Social Club Frankfurt will operate a legal cultivation community.

Shivas Grow Garden e.V. Frankfurt welcome as members not only cannabis users, but explicitly all people who are interested in accepting and help regulate drug policy and legislation for the protection of youth, consumers and society.

We are not committed to any particular religion, idea or world view. We see great opportunity and enrichment in the diversity of our abilities, our strengths and weaknesses, our different personalities, backgrounds and circumstances. This diversity is an opportunity for personal growth for each individual. It will bear fruit with our encounters and discussions with members, guests, volunteers, employees and everyone else who is committed to our common goal.

We are all responsible for our natural and social environment. A mindful and sustainable approach to nature and its resources is part of this, as is the willingness and ability to act socially and responsibly.

-We want members who are open to this,
-to respect everyone regardless of where they come from
-know and represent their own interests and grant others the same rights,
-agree to compromise,
-agree on rules for living and working together,
-recognize conflicts and work with others to find constructive solutions,
-approach each other and not lose sight of the common goal.

All people, regardless of their origin, ethnicity, religion, gender identity and orientation, whether with or without a disability, are expressly welcome to get to know us and work with us towards our association's goals. It is in this spirit that the Cannabis Social Club Frankfurt/M has adopted its statutes.

Our goal is to create an atmosphere where people can relax and enjoy the benefits of consuming chemical free cannabis and gain knowledge of the process of growing it. The sole purpose of the club is to grow for personal use by adult members and to provide access to a legal, safe and transparent alternative to the illegal drug market.

The purpose of the association also is to actively work towards the prevention of health risks associated with the use of illicit drugs such as Fentanol and artificial cannabinoids called JWH or AB-Chminaca u.a..

We plan to counter this with updated information and education on growing and caring for cannabis plants. We will present classes snd siminars on the best and safest ways to grow and care for your plants by growing Vegan or organic. This way, you alone will know what your plants have been fed.

Public relations and policy

With this in mind, the association carries out public relations work and provides expert advice on many areas of growing plants in general.

Education, youth protection and drug prevention
