Berlin Metro’s Stress-Busting Edible Tickets

Excerpts from a DW news report:

Berlin's public transport company (BVG) has come up with a way for passengers in the German capital to unwind from the stress of Christmas and COVID.

BVG is offering customers the chance to buy day tickets impregnated with hemp oil, which it promises will have a “calming effect” when they are eaten.

The tickets, which cost € 8.80 ($ 9.95) each, are made from edible paper and are sprinkled with “no more than three drops” of hemp oil.

“This way you can travel hassle-free around Berlin all day and then simply swallow your Christmas stress along with your ticket,” the company said.
