The Association

For hemp as a natural resource, medical drug and stimulant

The Hanfparade Association was founded in 1997 to organize a demonstration for one of the oldest cultural crops in the world and to fight for a reasonable legal framework regarding hemp.

The Hanfparade Association is supported by private persons and organizations of various backgrounds. Our members mainly live in Germany, but we also have members from Switzerland, the Netherlands, Poland, and Austria. They all are united by the wish to decriminalize hemp, and to inform about its unbelievably numerous possibilities of usage. With this aim, the Hanfparade Association organizes one of the biggest yearly political demonstrations in Germany with participants from all over the world by now.

The demonstration starts, headed by the traditional parade of trucks, with a move through the streets of Berlin. Thousands of hempsters show their opinion in a colorful and loud protest move.

The Final Rally offers lots of opportunities to get informed about hemp as an agricultural, cultural, and industrial crop, and to contribute your own opinion to the public discussion.

The activities of the Hanfparade Association not only focus on the event of the Hanfparade itself. We also organize the yearly MMM-event (Million Marijuana March) in Berlin. Representatives of the Association visit political events all over Germany and Europe.

The Hanfparade Association invites everybody who is interested in the hemp and legalization issue to visit our open meetings. The organizing team meets on every first Tuesdays at 6:00 pm. If you want to know, where the next meeting is - please take a look at the News-section or ask us!
