:The Dutch Senate has recently approved the so-called Grow Shop Law, a new regulation that will enter into force on 1 March 2015, designed to increase repression on consumers, growers and shop owners who distribute growing gear and marijuana seeds, applying jail sentences of up to 3 years. - This new law comes from the VVD Liberal Party, a business-orientated and centre-right group that forms the Government with the PvdA Labour Party, a social-democratic group which has opposed the measure, but cannot fight the majority of the former. - This law arises as another nail in the coffin of what freedom of recreational and medical cannabis used to be in the Netherlands. Although it seems to be difficult to implement it, it will definitely change things in the country, particularly in Amsterdam. - By contrast, local governments from different cities have decided to challenge the devastating policies of Ivo Opstelten, Minister of Security and Justice in the Netherlands, who is on a personal crusade against coffee shops and marijuana users, and is the promoter of WeedPass. A total of 54 mayors have signed a manifesto called “Common Regulations“, which advocates decriminalisation of the “backdoor problem of coffee shops”. | |||
Scheerer & Valois 2017: In the Netherlands, any adult may cultivate up to six cannabis plants for his own use. The sale of cannabis is "illegal, but not punishable". The law is not enforced as long as coffee shops keep a distance of at least 250 meters from the next school and as long as they follow the rules of (1) no advertising, (2) no sale or tolerance of hard drugs on the premises, (3) no sale to anyone under the age of 18, (4) no noise or other disturbances of the peace, (5) no sale of more than 5g to each customer and no storage of more than 500g on the premises. Municipalities have the right to decide if they want to tolerate one or more coffee shops within their boundaries, and they have also the right to prohibit the sale of cannabis to tourists. Any coffee shop that violates rules can either be closed for a limited time (three to six months) or permanently. | Scheerer & Valois 2017: In the Netherlands, any adult may cultivate up to six cannabis plants for his own use.

The idea of licensing was adopted on the basis of recommendations stressing the relatively acceptable risks associated with cannabis and the advantages that licensing would have in terms of keeping hard and soft drugs separated. | The idea of licensing was adopted on the basis of recommendations stressing the relatively acceptable risks associated with cannabis and the advantages that licensing would have in terms of keeping hard and soft drugs separated. | ||
