Bauhaus still wants to examine the sale: “In addition to legal and moral aspects, this also involves issues such as limited quantities of seeds or the classification of cannabis plants as cultivated plants that can be sold freely and legally,” the company said. Whether practical solutions can be found will have an impact on the decision – as will the extent of customer demand.
