Marijuana plants planted by activists sprout across German city

[quote]The German university city of Göttingen is being taken over by marijuana plants. Behind the phenomenon is a group of pro-pot activists who planted seeds around town to stir debate over the plant's illegal status. City authorities are not amused.
The university town of Göttingen is getting greener and greener. But not everyone is pleased: The new plants sprouting up in parks, planter boxes and gardens across the city aren't part of an official city-beautification project. They're part of a pro-marijuana protest.
In early June, a group calling itself "A Few Autonomous Flower Children" spread several kilograms of marijuana seeds throughout the city. Only now are the fruits of their labor beginning to emerge from the soil. "We can't set eyes on this useful and beautiful plant because it's absolutely forbidden in Germany to grow it," the group wrote in a letter claiming responsibility for the action. And they say that's not right.
Planting the seeds was a protest against Germany's "restrictive drug policies," the group said, arguing that it's incomprehensible "why cannabis, unlike alcohol, cannot be legally purchased."[/quote]

But aren't they tough to maintain and will die because Germany is for sure not their climate?

Depends on the strain and potency you want, if you don't want high quality it can grow just about anywhere, but you need a controlled environment for high quality.
I believe it's more of a statement, and there are strains that are mean't for out door growing. The crystallized multi colored buds you see are usually grown indoors.
In the article it says they used a low THC strain
cya there
I always thought it would be hilarious if an eccentric billionaire dumped a shitload of marijuana seeds out of a plane over a forest

It's called "weed" for a reason.

theres a large plot of abandoned weed infested vermine infested land right in the middle of my neighborhood, the owner is a big douchbag who actually sued the non-existant homeowner's association for not maintaining it, also he insists that the same non-existant organisation owns the land, even though its on country records as his property. this is a great idea
This should happen in every major city, spam as many pot seeds anywhere and everywhere. There's no reason For this plant to be illegal. And if they pull them up in an attempt to get rid of them, Plant even more!!
You see more deaths from alcohol and pain killers than you could ever find from marijuana! When was the last time you heard of someone overdosing and dying from cronic?

Yeah, the shit grows quite alot in Iowa but it's all really low quality. Literally just another weed when it's found like that.

Hemp grows on like 75% of the planet doesn't it?

That would be a curious development, given that over 70% of the planet is ocean. What the hell are those fish up to, down there?
Considered doing this so many times, just haven't got the time to breed plants for the seeds.
Maybe next year I'll make the danish news.

They would just burn the forest. Wait a second...

I've had one in my backyard, you just need to make sure they get watered, which isn't that big of a deal, considering I live in the Netherlands where it rains all the time.

Bazsil you're fucking wrong.
