The 'war on drugs' seems to be failing on all sides: combating drug crime is costing our society billions, while more and more young people are still getting involved in the cocaine trade. In the meantime, a significant part of the Netherlands has come to regard snorting coke as quite normal. The call for a different approach is therefore becoming increasingly louder. But can a government win against drug lords who have built billion-dollar empires? Should we all stop snorting? And how realistic is legal coke? In this 2-part series, Roos maps out our current drug policy and investigates the alternatives. Episode 2: This is what legal cocaine looks like Ex-dealers Yassine and Chadi show Roos the hidden side of Amsterdam Zuid, a district where two worlds live completely separate lives. The consequences of drug crime are also becoming painfully clear in daily life in other places in the Netherlands. With Kaj Hollemans, advisor to the campaign 'Normaal over Drugs', which advocates for the normalisation of drugs, Roos goes through models of what the regulation of coke could look like. Where could you get it and under what conditions? And crime journalist Paul Vughts has some interesting and shocking figures ready in this episode.
