Where your contributions go…
DEPOSITS
Deposits are ownership shares worth 50€. You have to deposit at least one share of 50€ into Hey Johnny Berlin eG. i.G. to become a member. The money is not a cost to you, but a deposit of yours into the company. Once you leave the cooperative you get your deposit back, adjusted for any losses. You can never lose more than 50€. Cooperatives are the least likely legal entity in Germany to go bankrupt.
MONTHLY CONTRIBUTION DURING PREPARATION PHASE
We have costs of incorporation, accounting, website, information, legal-counsel, events and more. To cover these starting costs we ask you to contribute 7€ per month until we give you the first cananbis for a fee. For solidaric purposes you can freely choose to contribute monthly as low as 2€, as high as 12€ or put a free amount.
SPENT COSTS
So far we only spent a few hundred euros.
We didn´t count the numerous hours we put in to get here.
It is in all our interest to save money.
INVESTMENT PHASE
The execution phase starts once we have a license and enough foreseeable demand that justifies investments. Based on your demand we will create grow, cost and investment plan. We do not want outside investors. Therefore it is our goal to collectively contribute and sign enough deposits to finance this operation.
RUNNING PHASE
In this phase our financing need should be 100% covered through your ongoing fees for cannabis buds, hashish, seeds and sapplings.
REVENUE & FEES
Products and services don´t have a price, but are legally called fees.
FEES & TAXATION
The fee is based on our production costs and taxation.
The taxation has not been publicised by the government yet.
We calculate the production costs based on your stated demand.
Depending on your demanded quantity/quality we can grow as cheap as 1€ or up to 6€ per gram.
☘︎ Benefits of becoming a member ☘︎
-
Regardless of the amount of their capital participation (deposits), members have the same voting rights (“one person, one vote”) and can therefore actively participate in decisions and the organisation of the cooperative.
-
Self-help: Members bond together to meet common needs through mutual support and cooperation rather than waiting for outside help.
Self-responsibility: Members are personally responsible for the decisions and actions of the cooperative, which promotes a high level of commitment.
Self-management: Members run and manage the cooperative independently and democratically, allowing decisions to be made directly by those who affect them -
Members can grow a wider range of products together more effectively and efficiently. The more people come together, the cheaper administration, cultivation, communication and logistics become for everyone.
-
Cooperatives often offer greater economic security by sharing risks. In addition, cooperatives are subject to democratic and transparent control by the supervisory board and auditing association.
-
Cooperatives pursue the principle of supporting their members, for example through advisory services.
Cultivation clubs can provide information about the risks of cannabis consumption and provide advice on how to successfully grow your own home. Growing clubs can also give seeds and cuttings to their members. -
Through the participation of members in cultivation, as required by the Cannabis law, they gain unique insights and experience in the cultivation of cannabis
-
Membership in a cooperative gives you access to a network of like-minded people. People with low incomes can participate, as can people who can subscribe to a lot of deposits. Membership in a democratic structure strengthens local cohesion. The cooperative is often an intermediary point for other private and business activities.
