Today the dutch senate approved a new legislation, unofficially referred to as the grow shop law (but affects many others too), that makes facilitating cannabis grows illegal and punishable with jail time.
The new law, quick and dirty translation:
"He who "stuff" or items prepares, modifies, processes, offers for sale, sells, delivers, transports, creates, OR, provides transport means, space, money, or other financial means, OF which he knows or has strong reasons to believe they were meant for illegal cannabis grows, will be punished with a max of 3 years in prison or a fine of the 5th category."
All cannabis grows except those from Bedrocan (medical supplier) are illegal. Also those that supply coffeeshops (according to the MoJ only 20%, the rest is supposedly exported).
Law goes into effect March next year. Additional cops will be assigned to investigate and enforce.
