Hopes by some city councils that the government will allow trials of legal marijuana production to supply cannabis cafes were dashed on Monday when the ChristenUnie party said it was ‘out of the question’.

The minor coalition government party says the experiment would break the coalition agreement, which includes the proviso that there be no changes in drugs policy.
Labour, the second of the three coalition parties, does back the plan, drawn up by mayors at a conference last month.
