Résumé : |
Purpose - This paper seeks to comment on legislative changes proposed in The Netherlands to make a legal distinction between low and high THC content cannabis.
Design/methodology/approach - This paper carries out a policy assessment. Findings - The proposed distinction is not driven by public health interests, the arguments are flawed and not substantiated. It is a political decision with benefits for interest groups. Originality/value - The proposed legal changes in The Netherlands have not previously been discussed in English language drug journals. |
