I predict that this will be a major issue in the US, very soon. We too, have a quasi-legal system, if very different from the Dutch policies.
Our incoming administration will have to contend with an industry that has grown large reasonably quickly, and with a conflicting Federal policy. States that have chosen legalization want this money now. Many citizens from across the social spectrum have staked their livelihoods on it.
If this becomes a states rights issue, and the Feds choose to switch policy and start raiding, things could go downhill quickly for the administration.
Of course none of this has anything to do with softdrugs or cannabis. It's all about control and money. I suspect the Dutch policy shift has similar economic motives somewhere below the surface.
