Feb 23, 2017 Yes, guys. The beautiful country I live in, hasn't got enough with legalizing weed, they are actually planning on legalizing the cultivation of the plant by citizens throughout the country (where for example, could be sold to coffee-shops to pay electricity bills of production lol). '' Dutch lawmakers on Tuesday voted in favor of tolerating the cultivation of cannabis, a move that could bring to an end a key paradox of the relaxed Dutch policy on marijuana and hashish. Buying small amounts of pot at so-called coffee shops has long been tolerated in the Netherlands, but cultivating and selling the drug to the coffee shops themselves has remained illegal. That hasn't stopped coffee shops flourishing since liberalization of drug laws in the Seventies, and becoming a major tourist draw card, particularly in Amsterdam, where tourists often visit the cafes to light up a joint. A narrow majority in the lower house of the Dutch Parliament voted in favour of the new law that would extend tolerance to growers as well as smokers. However, the bill still has to be approved in the upper house, known as the First Chamber, where it is not clear it will find a majority. Ahead of the vote, Alexander Pechtold, leader of the D66 party that drew up the legislation, said it would allow quality checks on cannabis crops, free up police and allow authorities to levy taxes on the huge pot-growing industry. Afterward, he called the vote "a historic breakthrough." Souce: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/02/21/dutch-mps-vote-favour-regulated-cannabis-cultivation/ Your thoughts?
