Event Overview

Recent news articles highlight the challenges German cities face regarding drug use and related issues. In Darmstadt, the focus is on a pragmatic approach to the drug scene within Herrngarten park, prioritizing assistance for drug users rather than attempting to displace them. This involves providing support services within the park itself. Simultaneously, Frankfurt is experiencing concerns related to drug-related crime. The Frankfurt police department suggests that the recently implemented cannabis law has inadvertently benefited drug dealers. The rise in drug-related crime and organized crime in Frankfurt underscores the complex interplay between drug policy, law enforcement, and public safety.
