Netherlands May License Hemp Cultivation

Today, there is a so-called "pilot project" that provides for the licensing (and, accordingly, decriminalization) of cannabis cultivation near the city of Maastricht in the south of the country.

However, the minister stresses that legalising the regulated cultivation of this plant would entail the adoption of a corresponding law, and this would be in conflict with international agreements. "If parliament wants to adopt something that is contrary to the law, then you will have to find another Minister of Justice," said P.H. Donner.

Marijuana is formally prohibited in the Netherlands, but possession of a small amount of the drug does not entail criminal liability. According to parliamentarians, legalizing marijuana cultivation is intended to eliminate contradictions in legislation that inevitably lead to an increase in criminal activity around legal marijuana sales points, popularly known as "coffee shops."

The authorities state that the situation in which the sale of marijuana is effectively permitted, while the cultivation and transportation of hemp remains illegal, automatically gives rise to mass violations.

The Netherlands is the only European country where narcotics are legalized in one way or another. It is worth recalling that in 2003 the country's pharmacological committee officially approved the decision to use marijuana as a medicine, and a little later the sale of cannabis by prescription in pharmacies was permitted as a therapeutic agent for chronic patients.

Let us recall that there are two more countries where drugs are legalized. These are Mexico - where small amounts of heroin, cocaine and marijuana are permitted - and Bolivia, where coca cultivation is permitted.
