In Episode 5 of the documentary series "Cannabis," directed by Mathieu Kassovitz and Antoine Robin, the focus shifts to the Netherlands. This country is well known for its famous coffee shops, where the sale and consumption of cannabis are tolerated. Kassovitz meets Arjan Roskam, nicknamed the "King of Cannabis," who is renowned for his custom cannabis strains.

However, despite this facade of tolerance, the Netherlands also faces major issues related to illicit cannabis trafficking. The country has witnessed violent gang wars, exacerbated by the profits generated from this illegal trade. This episode explores the tensions and paradoxes of a policy that allows the sale of cannabis in coffee shops while prohibiting its cultivation and supply.
