Coffee shop policy
Dutch coffee shop policy enjoys worldwide prestige. The Netherlands was once the first country to regulate the sale of weed and hash to a greater or lesser extent. In short, this policy means that the sale of weed and hash is not prosecuted under strict circumstances - for more information on this, see the Opium Act Instructions.
These "new" rules also create new problems. Notorious is the issue of illegal buying but legal selling. And what to do when a coffee shop is running so well that the maximum trading stock is not workable? The case of Coffeeshop Checkpoint shows that working in transparency can help ensure that an operator is not punished, but also that all his money can be taken away. How now to deal with this complex set of rules?
It's not easy. If you operate a coffeeshop, or are otherwise involved in the coffeeshop policy, and need expert advice or legal assistance, then Van Meekren Advocatuur is the right place for you. Here there is extensive expertise on Dutch coffeeshop policy.
