Dutch teach English how to run cannabis cafes
Ananova Wednesday 20 Mar 2002 A course for English people on how to run a cannabis cafe is due to begin in Holland. Eleven English cannabis activists and entrepreneurs are already signed up to take the five-day course this weekend. It covers regulation, product control and security. It is being run by two Dutch cannabis cafe owners. The students will be taught the basics in three cannabis cafes and visit the hemp museum in Haarlem. They will also learn about regulation, product and stock control, security and social hygienics during workshops. The owners, Nico Van Schaik and W Bruining, are running the courses because of the UK's softening stance on the drug's legal status, reports Haarlem's Dagblad newspaper. They believe it is only a matter of time before the drug is legalised in the UK. They also anticipate a steady stream of English people wanting to learn how to run cannabis cafe shops in Britain. Britain's first cannabis cafe opened, briefly, in Stockport, Greater Manchester, last year. It was very quickly raided by police and its Dutch owners and British co-landlord were arrested. The cafe itself has not been shut down.
