Berlin's public transport network has come up with a novel way for commuters to ease the stress of Covid and Christmas as they travel: edible tickets laced with hemp oil.
"This way you can travel hassle-free around Berlin all day and then simply swallow your Christmas stress along with your ticket," said public transport operator BVG, known for its quirky marketing stunts.
The tickets, which cost 8.80 euros ($9.95) each and are on sale until Friday, are made from edible paper sprinkled with "no more than three drops" of hemp oil, which is "said to have a calming effect" according to BVG.
