Coffee to Themselves?



Amsterdam - Will Amsterdam only allow residents of the Netherlands to enter their 166 coffee shops? Many tourists have sought out Amsterdam coffee houses for decades to legally buy marijuana.

The residents only proposal is being discussed by local politicians in the country to help reduce large amounts of traffic in Amsterdam’s famous red-light district. It would only allow citizens of the Netherlands with valid passports to enter the countries coffee houses.  Recently, there has been an uprising of tourism in the city from the United Kingdom.

How this ban to the coffee house would reflect on the tourism business in Amsterdam is left to be seen. A report published by the Dutch Office for Research showed British, German, and French citizens would stop visiting the country if they can have no coffee pass.



London Calling for New Marijuana Laws



England - Marijuana is becoming a Global commodity.  As the United Kingdom is
contemplating changing cannabis laws, the stocks for marijuana are rising on the London Stock Exchange. Cannabis stocks have risen in the U.K. twenty-six pounds per share, which is equivalent to $35.94 U.S. dollars.

As the country begins opening their doors to discussion of medical marijuana legalization, the sight of tax revenue behind the door could be a reason for the beginning talks. The United States has proven the tax revenue and countless benefits from Marijuana sales is successful.

Perhaps with the sight of extra revenue for the country from taxation of cannabis, England will see the benefits of full-blown legislation. This could help boost the United Kingdom’s economy in a now Brexit state.

Canada Grows Outside



Canada - According to Marijuana Business Daily more Canadians are growing their marijuana outside.

Recent data from Health Canada, a federal cannabis regulator, reveal that licenses to grow outside are on the rise.  Currently, there are 110 outdoor marijuana cultivation licensees in the country. The number of outdoor licenses issued is up by 42 outdoor licenses from a year ago. Also, important to note, is that there was more licensed outdoor cannabis production in 2020 than there was indoor production.

The first outdoor cultivation license to grow marijuana outside was issued by Health Canada in April 2019.

The types of approved outdoor licenses issued by Health Canada include cultivation licenses, micro-cultivation licenses, and nursery licenses. 

Marijuana publicly traded Canadian businesses largely invested in indoor facilities before Canada’s recreational legalization in 2018; however, the interest towards growing outdoors is climbing.  The country has plenty of space to keep on growing.
