Weed isn’t legal in The Netherlands, the sale of weed is only condoned. Meaning the coffee shops who sell weed cant legally purchase it.

As far as the laws concerned it magically appears.

so they illegally purchase it and then sell illegal goods, legally?

Should we call this "blind-eye economics"? I just kinda like the sound of it lol

Ah yes, the magically appearing coffeeshopwiet. I'm trying to get rid of it officer, honestly, but it just keeps coming back! Suppose I may as well sell it for a reasonable price in my humble little shop in Doetinchem. Perhaps with a bit of coffee on the side. Maybe in edible form for those who can't smoke the leaves.

Wasn't there a country where some company ran a "lost and found" service where you'd pay them to "find your weed". Like they were selling you weed but in order to make it legal their business was for you to pay them to find your lost weed.

There are bow trials being done with legally grown weed. Meaning it's a government run weed farm.

can people not use that to take each other’s shops down?
