Dutch hashish only in 10 towns as legal marijuana trial moves on

The next stage in the Dutch experiment with regulated marijuana protection starts on Monday, with “coffeeshops” in 10 different local authorities now only allowed to sell legally produced hashish.

The 80 outlets have only been selling legal marijuana since April, but now their hashish sales are also restricted to the legal circuit.

But according to the NRC, the shop owners and researchers worry that domestic hashish will not replace popular Moroccan products on the menu, and that means that criminals may still have a role in the supply chain.
