“When I hear about the high-level discussion regarding the legalization of the ‘back door’, I do not understand why the city wants to close 26 coffeeshops,” says Maurice Veldman, lawyer for the 26 coffeeshops targeted by the city of Amsterdam for closure.
Veldman is referring to a suggestion by PVDA, a social-democratic political party in the Netherlands, to set up a number of legal, controled cannabis farms in order to legally supply coffeeshops.
The number of coffeeshops in Amsterdam’s Red Light District will be reduced by 34 percent over the next 3-6 years.
The closures are meant to make a dent in the estimated €21 – 42 million in un-taxed, yearly profits made by organized crime syndicates that officials have documented as being involved on the supply side.
The proposed measure, expected to be accepted by the Amsterdam City Council, is part of a large-scale project to clean up and repurpose Amsterdam’s city center.
