Possible regulation of cannabis cultivation |
|
The mayor of Maastricht is promoting change in the Dutch soft drugs policy. Many local authorities want to experiment with regulated cannabis cultivation. Also a majority in the Dutch Lower house is in favour, but the Minister of Justice is against it and does not support the plan. A reportage about the difficulty to get the soft drugs in the coffee shops - the so called 'backdoor problem' - with a coffee shop owner, a cannabis grower, a Dutch member of parliament who is against new regulations. For the rest interviews with the editor-in-chief of a glossy cannabis magazine and of course with the mayor of Maastricht.
