I can only agree. SUPPORT LOCAL GROWERS, KEEP THE MAFIA OUT!!! Don't buy their shit

The magistrate of Eindhoven wants to decriminalize local smaller growers who sell their products to the coffeeshops. Ivo Opstelten, mayor of Eindhoven wrote a letter to the Dutch secretary of justice outlining that the problem today are the criminal organizations bullying the the coffeshop owners to buy their mass products and intimidating others. "Fraud, money laundering, and bullying done by criminal organizations who are press-ganging the coffeshops to buy their products" says Rob van Gijzel, mayor of Eindhoven. "This is unaccepatble and raises also quality and health issues!"

So the magistrate of Eindhoven supports a "regulated growing" by local private growers who are then allowed to sell their proven quality products to the coffeeshops. Thus the influence of organized crime will be diminished. The project will run for three years.

Won't growers be victimized in turn?

I guess so, on a local level.The Dutch are very keen about registering everything and making it legit or not. So I see it as a first attempt for officially grown weed for the coffeeshops.

I have not been to Adam for quite a long time and I do not know if this is against the shops in general or against some other criminal organized activities.

It is done because of fear about criminal gangs I guess. Look what happened in Switzerland some years ago: biker gangs took over the growing, brought in human trafficking, people disappeared, villagers were intimidated, people got tortured and killed even and the government decided to completely ban the growing. I think it is better to take those animals out.....

About us

Strain Hunters is a series of documentaries aimed at informing the general public about the quest for the preservation of the cannabis plant in the form of particularly vulnerable landraces originating in the poorest areas of the planet.

Cannabis, one of the most ancient plants known to man, used in every civilisation all over the world for medicinal and recreational purposes, is facing a very real threat of extinction. One day these plants could be helpful in developing better medications for the sick and the suffering. We feel it is our duty to preserve as many cannabis landraces in our genetic database, and by breeding them into other well-studied medicinal strains for the sole purpose of scientific research.
