While the increasing social acceptance of cannabis and the growing legalization in the US is a rather recent phenomenon, one European country has a much longer history of embracing cannabis than the US. Holland, the land of the world’s best merchants who many centuries ago explored the world and brought different wares to trade all over Europe turning their country into the most prosperous trading nation on the continent, is known not only for “going Dutch”, “a Dutch agreement”, and “Dutch auction”, but also for the pioneering of lax laws with regard to cannabis. Since 1976, recreational use has been made legal and cannabis has been available in Amsterdam ever since in “coffee shops” to the joy of millions of tourists from around the world. However, while many people coming to the country may think that weed is legal, it is not; it is only decriminalized. The Dutch government, after thorough research on how to combat illegal drugs use, decided that the best way to prevent drug addiction was to authorize limited use of cannabis, making the possession of under five grams exempt from criminal punishment and authorizing the sale of weed in the world-famous “coffee shops”. In a further ingenious effort to regulate the use of cannabis, the government devised a wonderful “weed pass” system whereby Dutch citizens were required to get weed passes for personal limited use. All in all, Holland was much ahead of the rest of the world in dealing with cannabis.
