Railways prohibit cannabis consumption at train stations
Adults in Germany have been allowed to smoke cannabis since April 1st. However, playgrounds and schools are taboo – and soon train stations too.
The new house rules should be ready and legally valid in around four weeks. From June onwards, the railway will be pursuing violations; before that, railway employees would ask travelers with “friendly requests and advice” to refrain from consuming cannabis.
This also applies to the smoking areas that exist at some train stations, as the railway confirmed to the German Press Agency. There is already a general ban on smoking at German train stations, with the exception of only designated areas. Consuming cannabis should also be prohibited there.
