- Summary:
- Note: This report is in Dutch. An English-language summary is available. This document is the first research report in the context of the experiment with a closed cannabis supply chain in the Netherlands. During this experiment, ten municipalities will conduct a pilot with the sale of legally grown cannabis. For this purpose, up to ten commercial cannabis growers are selected and granted (temporary) exemption from the Opium Act. The legal products will be exclusively sold in so-called 'coffeeshops', the licensed dispensaries that have existed in the Netherlands since the 1970s as part of its policy to tolerate (de facto legalise) cannabis retail sales. The document reports on the methods used and results of monitoring efforts mapping the state of municipal coffeeshop policy, cannabis consumption, the (tolerated) sale of cannabis from coffeeshops and the illegal sale of hash and weed prior to the introduction of the experiment. The field work for this 'premeasurement' took place from September 2021 to April 2022, covering 10 intervention municipalities (where legally grown cannabis will be introduced as part of the experiment) and 9 comparison municipalities (where the status quo will continue) that are part of the experiment. The researchers collected data from 110 coffeeshops about the cannabis products they offer by capturing menu card information. They conducted surveys with coffeeshop customers and with nearby residents and workers. An online survey based on a convenience sample was deployed to gather information about the illegal cannabis market in these 19 municipalities. Finally, the researchers analysed law enforcement registration data from these municipalities.
