The CannaSelection Community Study

Cannabis in Germany is being evaluated. We are making the community visible.

The official evaluation is important. But by itself, it does not reveal how consumption reality, everyday life, and perception of the law are actually experienced in the community. This ongoing survey complements the picture with direct perspectives from practice.

Every additional participation makes the community perspective more robust.

Where the law and everyday reality diverge

The ongoing community evaluation already shows where perception, everyday life, and legal logic do not align.

Why this survey is important

When cannabis is discussed, reported on, or decided upon in Germany, the community must not remain invisible. This study addresses precisely this point: it supplements the official evaluation with real-world perspectives from everyday life, consumption, and legal perception.

Straight from the community

The survey sheds light on what is often neglected in many debates: real-world perspectives from everyday life and consumption practices.

Continuous instead of a snapshot

The study is not a one-off project, but rather intended as an ongoing community survey with regular interim evaluations.

Important for CSCs, media, and the public

The broader the participation and reach, the more robust the classification will be for clubs, editorial offices, and public debates.

Community Reach

Your opinion counts. Help make real cannabis data from the community visible.

We are hoping for support from CSCs, portals, and individuals to share this survey within their networks. Because community data can only help with classification if it is made visible.

Share the study in your CSC and among your friends. Because only together are we strong!

Initial interim findings from the community

The ongoing evaluation already shows where community reality, perception of the law, and public discourse diverge.

This is how the study should be classified

This survey is based on an open community survey. It is not representative of Germany as a whole, but it provides an important additional perspective on consumption reality, everyday life, and perceptions of the law within the community. The results are continuously evaluated and published transparently in the Grow Lab.

The community needs your perspective

The more people participate, the more robust the community perspective on consumption, everyday life, and partial legalization in Germany becomes. If this view is not collected and shared, it too often remains invisible in public discourse.
