Opera Company Smokes Joints On Stage
Ananova | 08/25/2005

Performers at a German opera company smoke cannabis joints on stage during the latest production.

The Neukoellner Opera House in Berlin is also encouraging the audience to smoke their own pot during the opera.

They are claiming artistic licence to protect themselves from drug laws.

The opera, The Yellow Princess by French composer Camille Saint-Saens, tells the story of an artist whose life is dictated by a love for drugs and Japan.

Artistic director Bernhard Glocksin, 46, said an evening at the opera would be "improved with a few joints and some appetising lines".

He added: "It's a test to see just what we can get away with."

Good Luck. If I was in Germany, I'd go.. I wouldn't smoke any pot in the opera, cuz I'm a scaredycat.. but I'd go watch. :-D

I don't like opera but them using pot up on stage would make it worth checking out, especially because they even encourage the audience to get in on the action If enough people blazed up it wouldn't be easy to arrest everyone if they even bothered to do anything about it at all.

in Berlin you are allowed to have 10 grams now without it getting taken by the police, but smoking in public is still not allowed, then the cops can take your stash.

I once ran the light board for a production of Hair, we smoked in the booth. It helped set the feel.

I have a friend who lives in Berlin and I have been there twice. There are plenty of bars that allow you to smoke your own stash in them without any problem. It is not an uncommon thing to smoke pot or hash while u are out with your friends. Most of the time it is even ok to smoke while u are walking down the street as long as it is not an "at risk" street and it is not to busy.
Plus the pot is really good over there and really cheap compared to the U.S.

Kind of getting off topic, but I have to ask anyways out of curiosity; Can you just buy it in a store, or do you still have to get it from street dealers?

I imagine you still buy it off of private retailers. Normal dealers.

It sounds like it's more decriminalized, than legalized and regulated. Maybe I'm wrong. If so, go Germany!

I'd attend, and I hate the opera!

in Berlin the locals say to look for "Turkish" looking cafés that have been selling cannabis buds and hash over or shall we say under the counter for a couple of years. There are also street level dealers, but ask around and you may be happy to find one of the underground coffeehouses/cafes.
