Wow the first imagination of legal marijuana land. I hear it isn’t so legal though? I hear the farmers there ( in general) are the best in the world.
The PCR test used to be free here, not sure what happened.
Indeed, weed was never officially legal in NL. Though since the 70s it is condoned. Shops with special permits from the government are allowed to sell, but they are not allowed to buy. Growing is illegal, except for own consumption of up to a few plants. Weed is grown in the country anyways but also imported from big (illegal) farms in other countries.
I suppose the quality is of high level, however, I understood that these days the quality of weed is better in those states in the US that allow recreational use of weed and growing of weed. And even before it was legalised in the US, many growers to supply to those with a medical pass, and doctor subscriptions. Apparently, such a doctor subscription was/is super easy to get, just a single phone call with a statement like "I have chronic back pain, can't live with it anymore, can you subscribe me medical weed?". Anyways, I heard that from peeps over in the US. Not sure if it is/was indeed that easy, but the story goes it is/was. NL has the name for weed, but so many other countries and cities around the world taking a much easier approach to weed usage. Its just funny NL is in the news, all the other countries are not lolololol
