Grow Canabis for Coffeeshops

Grow For Dutch Coffeeshops: Govt. Accepting Applications Until 28 July

The Netherland’s Wietexperiment (“Weed Experiment”), is set to begin in 2021. At this time, the cannabis shops of ten Dutch municipalities will be under governmental supply and observation. The Dutch government is currently looking for experienced cannabis cultivators to legally grow cannabis to supply the coffeeshops for the duration of the Wietexperiment.

At this time, Netherlands Coffeeshops are licensed to legally operate, but receive their products on the illicit market. A goal of the Wietexperient is to reduce criminal activity while monitoring the quality as well as supply and demand of the coffeeshop’s cannabis. The Wietexperiment will run in 10 Dutch municipalities: Arnhem, Almere, Breda, Groningen, Heerlen, Hellevoetsluis, Maastricht, Nijmegen, Tilburg, and Zaanstad for four years, with a 1.5 year extension possible.
