Regulator

Cannabis consumption on a young age can damage a developing brain, research show. The human brain develops itself until an age of 26.
Still, there are no countries that have a very high age for this as it create a huge black market.

In The Netherlands there is now a treshhold of 18. What do you think?

In some models, people can grow at home, usually for themselves, sometimes also to sell a little. Should this be allowed?

How can we check if they follow the regulations on growing, pesticides etc.

For the alcohol industry, STIVA is the organisation that regulates alcohol products, so here is choosen for a self-regulating system. Think how this should work in the cannabiz industry.

With this question, it helps to think on how alcohol is sold: sometimes only in bars, sometimes also in liquor stores or supermarkets.

How should this be with cannabis?
Only in a dispensary or could there be ‘lounges’ too?

These possible answers correspond with existing regulation models world wide: from totally free to extremely regulated

Cigarette commercials have been largely banned in the West, but are still allowed in other parts of the world.

What do you think? Should ads for cannabis be allowed?

The more expensive a product is, the less of it will be sold. Extra taxes will flow back to the tresury.

But remember, too many/high taxes can make people decide to buy it from their neighbor anyway, and then we still have issues..

The cannabis market can be a free commercial market just like often happens with alcohol brands.

But there are other possibilities: some people want the government to appoint a few companies that take of all nationwide production at once. Others advocate for a non-profit system only. Where lies your preference?

In all countries Iexcept The Netherlands, tourists cannot obtain cannabis, thats why we have so many canna-tourists in Amsterdam
Sometimes people don’t like this, so an option to let tourist with a special medical pas is possible, but could create a black market with street hustlers.
