Bubatz card: What is it actually?

Almost as good as our cannabis card! Only instead of “what works” you get “what doesn’t”, simply put. The Bubatz map is a digital map for all cannabis users in Germany. It shows you where you can and cannot consume legally – and takes into account special regional regulations. In addition to the website, there are practical apps for Android and iOS to help you on the go.

The Bubatz card is your digital guide to legal consumption in Germany.

First:

What does “Bubatz” actually mean?

“Bubatz” is a colloquial, humorous term for cannabis that has become particularly popular in Germany. It first appeared in memes, TikToks and on social media and quickly became an integral part of youth and pop culture. The term is usually used loosely, for example in phrases such as “When bubatz?” or “Bubatz legal, when?”. Meanwhile, “Bubatz” is often symbolic of the issue of cannabis legalization and is also used in public debate.

In fact, not everyone knows or knew the term.
