The recently formed Dutch coalition government is expected to be handed a 40,000-signature petition in the next few months aimed at opening a controversial debate in parliament on the legalisation of all so-called recreational drugs.
The petition is being promoted by the Netherlands Drugs Policy Foundation, and has high-profile support from former EU commissioner Fritz Bolkestein and former deputy prime minister and scientist Dr Els Borst-Eilers.
