Muted sales start for cannabis from tobacconistsThere is little demand for non-intoxicating hemp in several tobacconists when viewed locally. “This hemp is used by a very limited group”, says the industry chairmanStefanie Rachbauer24.

They were previously available in specialized shops.APA/ZOE-SOPHIE ZIMMERMANNHonesty is what counts in the tobacconist in Vienna’s Zieglergasse.

While the customer pays, Reisinger tries to redirect him to another substance: “There has also been CBD hemp in tobacconists since the latest.” The short wearer has heard of it, but prefers the illegal, intoxicating version: “No thanks.” He shuffles out of business.
Reisinger is also direct: “Do you want to hear something positive or a complaint?” he asks, when asked about the new addition to his range. He responds to the request for a description of reality with a lament: “We were promised that everything would be there in time. But what do we have? Just this!” says Reisinger, pointing to a narrow shelf with a few bags and boxes on which hemp leaves are printed.
