Dutch MP Boris van der Ham buys a bag of weed of the "regulated market"

A glance of the future after the ban on cannabis has been abolished


On Thursday 27 November, at 09.15 hs, Dutch Member of Parliament of left liberal
party D66 will buy a bag of cannabis at coffeeshop "Cremers <
http://www.cafecremers.nl>", Prinsestraat 84 in The Hague.

The owner of this coffeeshop, Gerard Smit, will provide him with this bag and inform
him extensively on the origin of this cannabis, the methods of cultivation, the effects
of it and the way in which the price has been determined.

In this way it becomes clear how the cannabis market could be regulated in the
future, when the ban on cannabis cultivation has been abolished. Coffeeshops could
then get their cannabis in a legal way from growers who would spend attention to
quality and public health aspects. Before buying his product, the customer can be
fully informed on the exact and expected effects of the substance.

The visit of Boris van der Ham to coffeeshop Cremers takes place in the framework of
the Cannabis Tribunal , that takes place on
Monday 1 and Tuesday 2 December in Nieuwspoort, The Hague. This tribunal deals
with the question what should be the direction of Dutch lenient cannabis policy, that
allows sale of personal quantities to adult persons in coffeeshops, but bans the
cultivation of cannabis, for example to provide these shops.

The press is very welcome to attend this visit. For more details, please contact the
organisers.
