Abstract

The legal situation of the Netherlands plays an invaluable role in the dispute over the legalization of soft drugs. However, this issue, despite the original regulation, is no longer a controversial topic. This is due to the interesting conditions in the Dutch society and important historical factors. The article presents an analysis of the specific elements influencing the shape of the regulation of a drug policy. Its aim is to show how important for the law effectiveness is to include such conditions into a legislative process.
