This is the best summary I could come up with:
Authorities in Germany’s southeastern state of Bavaria announced on Tuesday that they will ban smoking cannabis at the popular Oktoberfest beer festival in Munich.
Cannabis consumption would be banned in beer gardens, at public festivals and on restaurant terraces if the plan comes into effect.
Clemens Baumgärtner, the head of Oktoberfest, told the web.de news portal he wanted to keep the festival cannabis-free.
“Bavaria is strengthening the protection of children and young people,” said Bavarian Premier Markus Söder, also of the CSU.
“Our aim is to limit cannabis consumption in public spaces,” said Bavarian Health Minister Judith Gerlach.
In Germany, adults over 18 are allowed to carry 25 grams of dried cannabis and keep up to three marijuana plants at home for personal use.

Does noone ever think of the children?
Bavaria’s government said in a statement that it wants to "limit the public consumption of cannabis despite the federal government’s dangerous legalization law.
“A family festival like the [Oktoberfest] and cannabis consumption don’t go together,” he said.
Fucking lol. At a festival where people routinely get sick drunk and fall out everywhere is concerned about being family friendly? Sounds more like they’re jealous people can get inebriated without drinking alcohol.
Well it is Bavaria. I am guessing their view of what constitutes a family is the dad coming home drunk beating up his wife in front of the kids.
I’ve been in recovery for over 20 years now and one thing I’ve come to realize it’s that … I’d rather deal with an addict high on weed than an alcoholic that is blind drunk.
The dope head will want to be your friend and laugh uncontrollably.
The alcoholic will say you look funny and want to start a fist fight … then piss their pants … and cry … and then want to fight again. And they’ll do this regardless if you are 20, 60 or six years old.
I mean, that seems fair. It’s a beer event. Like really a beer event. You can come and go as you please, so just go for a walk if you want to blaze.
It’s a beer event. Like really a beer event.

Weinzelt - translates as “wine tent”. This tent offers a selection of more than 15 wines, as well as Weißbier.
They’re doing it wrong!
It’s a beer event. Like really a beer event
That’s just not true.
It started as a celebration of the wedding of the crown prince and has since become a generic festival.
They serve food, snacks, wine, nonalcoholic drinks and have rides for children who are not allowed to drink beer.
Why not both?
