00:00Like in Holland, here you can grow five plants.
00:03Yeah, but there is a but.
00:05You can grow the five plants, but you can grow them in your garden.
00:08So you can grow the five plants outside.
00:11But once you grow them inside to make good weed, stronger weed,
00:15that's more effective weed, it's not allowed.
00:30The Al Arabiya English team attempted to visit one of these illegal farms
00:36and interview one of the farmers.
00:38However, the cafe owners denied knowing anyone,
00:41but confirmed the high-quality narcotic herbs they purchased from Canada,
00:45the United States and Spain due to the legalization of their cultivation there.
00:50Why is it interesting to buy weed from Canada or from the United States or from Spain?
01:03Because the quality there is getting higher.
01:05If you can do it legally, the quality will automatically rise.
01:08But because of the law, we can sell a space cake here in Holland, but that's about it.
01:20The concern confirmed by everyone we spoke with was that the Netherlands would lose its status
01:25as other countries such as Canada, the United States, Spain, Belgium, Austria,
01:30and the Czech Republic legalize drug selling and cultivation.
01:34Everyone emphasized that the only way to change the current status is through a clear legalization policy
01:39so that the Netherlands does not lose millions of dollars in income due to this tourism.
01:50So how can a coffee shop have 30 strains on the menu with only 500 grams?
01:55It's not like people come in and bring 10 grams all the time. No.
01:58A coffee shop needs to buy kilos.
02:00So somewhere the weed is being stashed and all of a sudden it drops out of the sky in the shop and it's legal.
02:06And all the steps that happened before that, we don't talk about in Holland.
02:10We don't want to know.
02:11But I think it's important that we do come to know and that we do check all these steps
02:15and make sure that the right steps are being taken and there's no more contamination.
02:19It's for a safer product, better for the clients, more income for the government,
02:25and also for us as an entrepreneur.
02:28I don't want to have the risk of closing down my business by a single mistake.
02:32It's a weird law. They call it gedoogbeleid, like this, and that is the law.
02:38There's no store where you can go buy it. You just buy it from the growers.
02:44We have to buy it from the growers. We cannot buy it from the store.
02:47We cannot buy it from the salicyáeon.
02:49There's no store right now.
02:53There's no store where here is 거지.
02:55There's no store fault because they would choose to the market.
02:59Of course, we pay it so hard to pay people to register.
03:02There's no place between building and building connections.
03:04There's no space but near way where there's no shelter in the range.
03:07There's no one property that people think it's, you know,
03:09There's no case, we've done that after theprosy garden,
03:11Greater Hilton
