Why the weed pass shouldn’t survive the Drugs Debate on March 1st.

Minister Opstelten’s weed pass has lost its rationale in the last week, and it will be *the* hot topic during the hastily announced drugs debate in the Second House of Parliament next Thursday, March 1st. This drugs debate has already been postponed for years, but now, after noticeable opposition to the weed pass phenomenon, there’s a sudden necessity for a good discussion about Dutch drug policy, particularly concerning the permissive policy with regards to the coffeeshops that are allowed to sell marijuana.
