The Netherlands consist of 17 million people and there isn't really alot of crime around. Exept the massive drug corporations all gathering in the center of their import and export. Our judicial system is not in shape to handle entire criminal enterprises.
>Why has the Netherlands not decriminalized Cannbis-based products entirely?
No one really cares. The state likes that it can regulate the shops. Police dont put you behind bars when they find drugs and will ask you if you 'willingly' do away with your stuff. Everyone is reasonably okay with the current arrangement.
- einpoklum 5y agoCannabis can be made legal and still heavily regulated. As for everyone being ok with the current arrangement - the story illustrates how that is not the case: Production and distribution cannot be done legally. What you describe is a way for avoiding public outcry about the whole state of affairs through non-enforcement on consumers. This should really change IMHO.
