The Netherlands will try out licensing cannabis growers for its famous “coffee shops” where patrons are allowed to smoke the weed.
Trial runs will take place first in Tilburg and Breda, neighbouring cities in the south of the country, and then in other Dutch cities. The trials in Breda and Tilburg are part of what the Dutch government calls a “start-up phase” of a new cannabis policy for production to be legalised in the whole country. The government hopes the small-scale trial licensing some farmers can iron out any hiccups in the new policy.
“I think is a very good thing. We have been working on this experiment for more than 10 years.” Rick Brand, owner of Breda coffee shop De Baron said. He regrets that his country, a liberal frontrunner, stalled when it came to legalising cannabis production.Brand said that for the customer it will mean the drug will be purer and healthier, there will be more varieties, and it will be cheaper.
