GERMANY: The German university city of Göttingen is brimming with marijuana plants everywhere from parks to planter boxes, gardens and even the city police station!

The city overflowing with cannabis is neither part of a green movement nor an official beautification project; but they were planted by pro-pot activists to protest over the plant’s illegal status, early last month.

‘A Few Autonomous Flower Children’ group, who planted the seeds across town, claimed the responsibility of this unique protest in a letter.

“We can’t set eyes on this useful and beautiful plant because it’s absolutely forbidden in Germany to grow it,” the group said in the letter.
