Question juridique clé
Whether the public sale of books advocating cannabis use fulfills Art. 19 Ziff. 1 Abs. 8 BetmG.
Solution extraite
Yes. The books, their content, and their open sale at a public market amounted to public incitement to narcotics consumption.
Motifs extraits
The works did more than inform; they glorified cannabis and marijuana, described acquisition and cultivation methods, and used persuasive, manipulative language likely to lower inhibitions and encourage consumption.
