Problem: high THC content “potentially intoxicating”
Although the company founders Philipp Gärtner, Marc Graf and Kerim Viebrock were acquitted in the first instance, the verdict is not yet final because the public prosecutor’s office has filed an appeal.Hemp. With love and with conviction.
The green startup advertised that the healing properties of hemp have been used by humans for thousands of years. We bundle this natural power in our regionally produced products and can thus increase your quality of life and your health.

Mantra: “Where hemp grows, pesticides become unnecessary”
“Where hemp grows, pesticides become unnecessary. This makes this plant the ideal candidate for organic cultivation and our cultivation areas form a refuge for biodiversity. With the help of our raw material, we also absorb more CO2 from the atmosphere than we emit. “So we are not just climate neutral, but climate positive,” according to the company website.
Accordingly, the Green Pioneers’ products should also make an active contribution to climate protection.
