About St. Johannis Cannabis Verein Nürnberg e.V.

St. Johannis is one of Nürnberg’s oldest and most distinctive residential districts — a neighbourhood of 19th-century housing, notable for its historic cemetery (one of the most beautiful in Germany), its green spaces, and its population of families, elderly residents, and the younger incomers who have discovered the district’s quiet charm. The St. Johannis Cannabis Verein e.V. reflects this mix.

The club is notable for its multigenerational membership: more than any other Nuremberg CSC, St. Johannis has attracted members across age groups, including a substantial proportion of over-50s who use cannabis primarily for wellness purposes — sleep support, pain management, and anxiety reduction. This demographic has shaped the club’s cultivation programme, which emphasises CBD-rich and balanced varieties alongside higher-THC options.

The club’s educational programme is particularly strong on cannabis and health topics: medical cannabis basics, interactions with common medications, consumption methods and their different effect profiles. Several founding members have backgrounds in nursing and pharmacy, lending the club a health-focused expertise that other Nuremberg clubs have drawn on for their own member education.
