This question relates to many illicit drugs, but these days it is, both nationally and internationally, mainly related to the policy regarding the production, distribution and consumption of cannabis. Generally speaking, the legalization of cannabis in Uruguay and in some states of the United States of America, in particular Colorado and Washington State, has given a powerful impetus to the discussion about the cannabis policy. In the Netherlands, that discussion has become increasingly relevant over the past years because of the struggle of coffeeshop owners and political parties. This volume offers the first English-language analysis of the situation in the Netherlands in order to make a contribution to the international debate on this heated topic. Since the 1960s, the Dutch cannabis policy has been an important point of reference in the international discussion about the policy that should be pursued regarding the use of cannabis. However, in international and foreign literature about cannabis policy the developments in the Netherlands are often depicted in an incomplete or one-sided manner, which has a negative impact on the quality of the international debate about what has happened and what should happen now. This volume seeks to redress that imbalance. 410 0$aNijhoff law specials ;$vVolume 87. 606 $aMarijuana$xLaw and legislation$zEurope 606 $aMarijuana$xLaw and legislation$zNetherlands 606 $aMarijuana$xLaw and legislation 606 $aCannabis 606 $aDrug legalization 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMarijuana$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aMarijuana$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aMarijuana$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aCannabis. 615 0$aDrug legalization. 676 $a362.29/5561 700 $aFijnaut$b Cyrille$f1946-$0235069 702 $ade Ruyver$b Brice 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511404703321 996 $aThe third way$92550337 997 $aUNINA
