What we do

01

Policy advocacy

We work towards workable, consistent and legally sound coffeeshop policy — from the closed cannabis chain experiment to scarce licences and the residence criterion.

02

Knowledge sharing

Our knowledge base brings together factual dossiers on coffeeshop policy: tolerance criteria (AHOJ-G), the wietexperiment, payments and banking, and the residence criterion.

03

Industry representation

Coffeeshops organise themselves in local chapters and are represented nationally. Signals from municipalities are bundled into one national picture.
