Wietclub komt dankzij Rotterdam stuk dichterbij

Wethouder Victor Everhardt ziet weer kansen voor een wietclub in Utrecht, nu Rotterdam ook zelf wil gaan produceren.

Nu ook de gemeente Rotterdam zegt zelf legaal wiet te willen produceren, ziet de Utrechtse wethouder Victor Everhardt (D66) de door hem gewenste wietclub in Utrecht dichterbij komen. Utrecht probeert al jaren een wietclub op te richten. Maar het kabinet houdt de plannen steeds tegen.

Door zelf toezicht te houden op de teelt denkt Utrecht de gezondheidsrisico’s te verminderen en de criminaliteit tegen te gaan.

Het doel van een eigen wietclub is om in clubverband onder toezicht van de gemeente voor een kleine groep leden legaal cannabis te kweken. Voordeel is dat de cannabis hierbij gecontroleerd kan worden op kwaliteit en sterkte.

Het college van Rotterdam wil nu ook zelf wiet gaan produceren vanwege het publieke belang. ‘Wij hopen met gereguleerde wietteelt gezondheidsrisico’s weg te nemen en criminaliteit tegen te gaan. Gereguleerde teelt zou de leefbaarheid en veiligheid in wijken ten goede komen,’ schrijft het college van Rotterdam.

Pril

Hoewel de plannen in Rotterdam pril zijn, is Everhardt verheugd dat nog een grote stad op dezelfde lijn zit als Utrecht: ,,Het is goed dat andere grote steden aanhaken.”

Vijftig gemeenten hebben zich al aangesloten bij de zogeheten joint regulation. ,,Na Rotterdam hoop ik dat Den Haag volgt,” zegt Everhardt. Ivo Opstelten, de vorige minister van Justitie en Veiligheid, toonde zich steeds fel tegen initiatieven van gemeenten om de wietteelt zelf in handen te nemen. Ook het ministerie van Volksgezondheid wilde niet meewerken.

Everhard wacht af wat de kansen zijn bij Opsteltens opvolger, Ard van der Steur.

Rond de zomer wil Everhardt een uitgewerkt plan van de Utrechtse wietclub voorleggen aan het Openbaar Ministerie. ,,Als we groen licht krijgen, gaan we stap voor stap verder. Een goede plek vinden voor de club is dan een volgende stap.”
