Curious! Potheads bring weed into Bavaria instead of out

Before cannabis was legalized in Germany, politicians in Upper Austria sounded the alarm: hordes of stoned compatriots would flood back home from Bavaria with arms full of weed. The reality looks different, namely strange: Yesterday, for example, the Bavarian border police caught two stoners illegally importing their weed into Bavaria.

As part of their control activities, officers from the border police inspection were able to seize a small amount of marijuana twice during the course of the day yesterday, which had previously been illegally imported into the federal territory, according to the Bavarian police.

Vans checked
At around 8 a.m., the officers, supported by the riot police from Würzburg, checked an Austrian van carrying two people. The police found a small amount of marijuana in the luggage of the 24-year-old German passenger and seized it. 

Also on the train 
A 42-year-old Czech also had a small amount of marijuana in his luggage. He had been subjected to a police check on a regional train by Passau railroad investigators at around 8.15 pm. As the man readily stated that he had brought the marijuana with him from the Czech Republic, it was seized and criminal proceedings were also initiated. The two suspects were both released on the spot after the police measures were completed.
