Netherlands: Cannabis farming plan scuppered by minister

Guardian Unlimited

Friday 23 Jun 2006

---
The Netherlands' justice minister yesterday fended off further
liberalisation of the country's cannabis policy. Under Dutch law,
"coffee shops" sell cannabis, but police crack down on growers. In
December the minister, Piet Hein Donner, reluctantly agreed to MPs'
requests to consider allowing the large-scale farming of cannabis in a
pilot project near Maastricht. But yesterday he told MPs that if they
wanted to allow cultivation, "then you need to find a different kind of
justice minister". The key coalition party VVD appeared to swing behind
him in order to avert a cabinet crisis.
