- Summary:
- Note: This report is in Dutch. An English-language summary is included in the full report and also available as a separate download. In 2024, the Netherlands will start an experiment with a controlled cannabis supply chain. 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. This study reports on the baseline measurement conducted for this experiment prior to the introduction of regulated cannabis production. It maps the current situation regarding cannabis consumption, sales of cannabis in coffeeshops and on the illegal market, as well as the experiment's theory of change. Most of the field work for the baseline took place from September 2022 to December 2022, which, in addition to the 10 intervention municipalities participating in the experiment, covers 10 comparison municipalities (where the status quo will continue). The data collection for the baseline report included: 31 interviews with 130 stakeholders; 1,252 counts of coffeeshop visitors at 142 coffeeshops; 922 visitor questionnaires at 138 coffeeshops; 125 menus in 125 coffeeshops; 437 survey responses from people who live and/or work in the neighbourhood of 146 coffeeshops; 52 short interviews with owners and/or employees of 45 coffeeshops; and an online survey among people who buy cannabis on the illegal market. Finally, the researchers analysed law enforcement registration data from these municipalities.
