Drugs policy in the Netherlands: continuity and change
Drugs policy in the Netherlands
Continuity and change
Drugs policy in the Netherlands is aimed at controlling risks to individuals and the community arising from the use of drugs. The main concern is to limit the damage drugs do to people's health. the policy document "Drugs Policy in the Netherlands: Continuity and Change" analyses the policy on drugs pursued over the last twenty years.
The results it has achieved provide no grounds for any significant change of course. Adjustments are needed, however, on account of the nuisance arising from the use of drugs, the involvement of organised crime in drug trafficking and the external effects of the Netherlands' policy on drugs. Some innovations are required in the care provided for drug users too. The present programme of policy intentions is intended by the Government to indicate how policy is to be improved.
