Everything
You Need To Know About Amsterdam,
Main Entrance Page For Amsterdam A to Z
By ANTHONY DEUTSCH, Associated Press Writer
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands - Marijuana went on sale
Monday at Dutch pharmacies to help bring relief to thousands of patients
suffering from cancer, AIDS (news
- web
sites) or multiple sclerosis.
Around 7,000 patients will be eligible for prescription marijuana, sold in
containers of .16 ounces at most pharmacies. Labeled "Cannabis" and
tested by the Ministry of Health, the drug will be covered by health insurance
for the first time under a new law that went into effect in March.
Canada, Germany and Australia already allow restricted use of medicinal
marijuana or its active chemical, but the Dutch go a step further by providing
the drug and regulating its quality.
In the United States, 14 states allow medicinal use despite a federal ban on
the drug.
Dutch patients will be recommended not to smoke the plant, but to use
vaporizers or make marijuana tea. It will be prescribed to those suffering from
nausea or pain associated with cancer, Tourette's syndrome, AIDS or multiple
sclerosis.
Two varieties will offer a lower or higher content of Tetrahydrocannabinol,
or THC, the active chemical in marijuana. It will cost $48 for the milder
variant, with a THC content of 15 percent, and $60 for an 18 percent version.
Although marijuana is officially prohibited under Dutch law, authorities
tolerate the sale of small quantities under a policy that distinguishes between
hard drugs such as cocaine and heroine and so-called "soft-drugs" like
marijuana.
Marijuana growers and pharmacies will need licenses exempting them from
prosecution.
"For the first time, pharmacies will be able to make legal purchases of
medicinal cannabis for patient prescriptions," the Ministry of Health said
in a statement.
The Dutch parliament approved the change in policy by a large majority in
2001.
Due to limited clinical testing of the effects of cannabis use, the Ministry
of Health said it would recommend that patients use it only if regular treatment
had failed or caused side effects. The decision to permit medicinal use is based
on "case reports and extensive practical experience," it said.
Recent studies show a small increase in the number of people in the
Netherlands who say they have tried marijuana, but overall use levels remain
well below those in the United States despite the drug's widespread availability
here.
