On June 12, Amsterdam celebrates Cannabis Liberation Day, the biggest cannabis and hemp festival in our country.
'The liberation of cannabis has never been more important in the Netherlands than it is today,' says VOC chairman Derrick Bergman. 'If we want to keep up with the pace of the current international events, we must work towards regulation, and eventually legalisation of cannabis'.'
Program
Besides the music programme and speakers programme, there's an hemp fair and a Cannabis Filmfestival, as well as a diverse selection of small food caterers. In the film tent there'll be two panel discussions with (inter)national experts about medical cannabis and the threats and opportunities of regulation.
