It is still unclear at the moment whether the National Weed Pass will be introduced by the Dutch government. Each party involved realises that it will no doubt lead to more illegal street trade in drugs and therefore more trouble in residential districts. The city council of Amsterdam even fears that tourism will decrease because of this ‘absurd measure’. Few Dutch municipalities support the cabinet’s plan to introduce a pass for visitors to coffeeshops. The idea behind the proposed legislation is that coffeeshops would become closed clubs that are only accessible to adult residents of the Netherlands. Tourists would therefore be excluded. Recently, the Dutch government presented another dubious innovation in its War on Drugs. Residents of Rotterdam and The Hague were handed a hemp-scent card. The card is designed to help citizens recognise the scent of illegal hemp farms so they could tip-off the police and rat out their neighbours. The card also lists other characteristics that can help discover a hemp plantation, such as the humming of ventilators and houses where curtains remain closed both day and night. Should there be a lot of snow this winter, like last year, the police will have an easy time identifying plantations. Many Dutch people earn a bit (read: a lot) extra by having illegal hemp plantations in their attics. But because the requisite heat lamps are so hot, snow melts before it can collect on the roof.
