Netherlands: Amsterdam plays host to Hemp Festival

Radio Netherlands

Monday 24 Nov 2008

The Dutch capital of Amsterdam played host to a Hemp Festival on Sunday. The event was held to celebrate the ten-year existence of the Cannabis College, an advice centre for soft drugs located in the city. Visitors were able to see all the different uses to which the hemp plant can be put. Saint Nicholas - or Sinterklaas, remembered by the giving of presents on 5 December - was also on hand to pass out cannabis seeds. In the coming days, there will be further exhibitions and a film festival.

The festival comes one week before a debate in The Hague on the legalisation of soft drugs. MPs and cabinet members have been invited to take part in the discussion.
