Dutch Government Legalizes

Dutch Government Legalizes Prescription Pot --
Pharmacies Allowed To Distribute Medical Cannabis -- Government To License
Prescription Pot Growers
The Hague, the Netherlands: Pharmacies may now legally stock and supply
medicinal cannabis for patients who have a doctor's prescription, as a result of
new federal regulations that went into effect Monday. The law change makes the
Netherlands the first nation to formally regulate the use of medicinal marijuana
in the same manner as it does other prescription drugs.
NORML Foundation Executive Director Allen St. Pierre
applauded the policy change. "If we are to hold cannabis up to the same
standards of safety and efficacy that we hold other drugs, then the Dutch
government's decision to regulate it is long overdue," he said.
"Unfortunately in the US, our government refuses to acknowledge marijuana's
relative safety or medical utility thus forcing patients to go to the black
market and risk arrest to obtain the medicine they need. Clearly, the Dutch
model is a safer, efficient and more compassionate alternative."
Under the new law, Dutch health officials will license medicinal marijuana
cultivators to supply medical-grade cannabis to pharmacies. Licensing will be
overseen by the Netherlands' Office of Medicinal Cannabis (BMC) of the Health
Ministry and may begin as early as next month. The BMC was established in 2000
to study and regulate the use of medical marijuana.
The new regulations also allow Dutch health insurance companies to reimburse
patients' cost for medical marijuana.
Dutch Ministry of Health spokesman Bas Kuik told the Associated Press that
the legal change would ensure that patients have consistent access to medicinal
quality cannabis. "Doctors are prescribing marijuana to their patients
anyway, and there are many medicinal users, so we may as well regulate it,"
he said.
Similar regulations enacted in Canada in 2001 allow for the state to
distribute medical marijuana to qualified patients, but to date Health Canada
has not allowed any of its harvested cannabis to be available to the public.
For more information, please contact either Allen St. Pierre or Paul
Armentano of the NORML Foundation at (202) 483-8751.
