Marijuana in Netherlands is illegal but has been decriminalized for personal use. Netherlands has had a liberal and pragmatic drug policy for several decades and hence the Dutch people were among the first to approach the discussion of undertaking the Netherlands medicinal cannabis program. 

Medical use of marijuana in certain quantities was made legal in the Netherlands. However, its sale was still illegal and hence marijuana was sourced from the illicit market. It was impossible to guarantee quality, consistency, and origin of marijuana used for medical purposes, which was obtained from illicit sources. 

Therefore, the Office of Medicinal Cannabis was established in March 2000, to make quality product available to the patients. This organization served as the National Agency from 1st January 2001. In 2003, the Netherlands initiated one of the first national medicinal cannabis programs across the globe, which makes high-quality cannabis available to certain patient groups.
