Blokhuis: pure smoking cannabis will not fall under the comprehensive Tobacco and Smoking Products Act

Pure smoking of weed and hashish will not fall under the extensive smoking ban. This is what VWS State Secretary Paul Blokhuis (ChristenUnie) writes to the House of Representatives.

For some time the rumor had been circulating that the Tobacco and Smoking Products Act would be expanded with cannabis, which would also prohibit pure smoking in the coffee shop. That is not the case. The "Note following the report on the amendment of the Tobacco and Smoking Products Act to extend the smoking ban", which was published on January 16, 2020, contains the following under the heading Smoking Expansion:

“The members of the PVV group note that with this bill the smoking ban will be extended by 2020 with the e-cigarette with and without nicotine and related products. The members of the PVV group want to know whether this expansion will also cover the smoking ban for cannabis, hashish and a water pipe with a herbal mixture.

The bill provides for the extension of the smoking ban with the consumption of tobacco in other ways than by smoking, and with the steaming of e-cigarettes with and without nicotine. The smoking ban is not being extended
consuming all related products. Smoking cannabis, hashish or herbal mixtures that are not mixed with tobacco is not covered by the smoking ban. "

Pure smoking and evaporation of weed and hashish therefore remains permitted in the approximately 570 coffee shops that the Netherlands still has in 2020. This provisionally guarantees a fundamental condition for maintaining the social function of the coffee shop.
