Cannabis cultivation experiment |
|
The Dutch government is planning an experiment with regulated cannabis cultivation, to see if this legal cultivation will decrease organized crime and increase the safety of cannabis use. In the experiment, the government will give ten organisations a government license to grow cannabis, that will be distributed to coffeeshops in ten municipalities. Dutch documentary maker Frans Bromet is producing a documentary about the experiment. He follows a group of people that want to start growing cannabis and want to apply for a licence. The preparation and introduction of the experiment is covered in the Dutch city of Tilburg portraying the mayor and the owner of a coffeeshop.
Activities: research, set-up, planning, accompany filming, sound.
