Alongside these measures, the government will allow cannabis seeds to be sold in stores, imported from abroad or bought online. Seed production will be possible for commercial purposes, but consumption will have to be done inside the house. The transport of less than three grams of cannabis will no longer be a criminal offence, but an offence.
As the coalition government’s Green Party has reported, this means a change of direction in drug policy to regulate the use of cannabis and to create a legal alternative to the black market. The aim, according to government sources, is to exempt users from the penalty of producing, buying and consuming a certain amount of cannabis with the new policies and to keep them away from the black market, reducing the risks associated with the acquisition of the drug.
