AmaDatshi abuyela kwimithetho yabo evulekileyo ngokwesiko malunga nokusetyenziswa kwentsangu esidlangalaleni. Kule veki, iHague yaba sisixeko sokuqala saseDatshi ukuthintela ukutshaya i-cannabis kumbindi wesixeko.

Emva kwezikhalazo ezivela kubahlali, akusekho semthethweni ukutshaya imbiza kwiindawo ezili-13 ezichongiweyo, kubandakanya iindawo ezinkulu zokuthenga zesixeko kunye nesikhululo sikaloliwe esikumbindi. Isithintelo siya kwenziwa zingaphelanga iiveki ezimbini kwaye siyokuma iminyaka emibini, emva kwexesha eliya kuthi liphinde livavanywe.

Iivenkile zokwenza ikofu, iihotele, kunye nendawo yokuhlala engenamakhaya ziya kusasaza iiflaya (ngesiNgesi) ukucacisa umgaqo-nkqubo omtsha.

Isithethi seHague uxelelwe UMgcini Ukusetyenziswa kwamachiza athambileyo kunefuthe elibi kubume babahlali nakwiindwendwe kwiindawo apho umthetho uzakwenziwa khona. Ukusela utywala sele kuthintelwe kwezi ndawo.

Abo babanjwe betyeshela ukuvalwa komsebenzi baya kuhlawuliswa, iindleko ezigqitywe ngumtshutshisi woluntu.

Imigaqo yentsangu yaseDatshi isebenza kancinci. Nangona ukusetyenziswa kwe-cannabis yolonwabo kungekho semthethweni, ilizwe linjalo umgaqo-nkqubo wokunyamezela (umgaqo-nkqubo wokunyamezelana). Kukho ii-coffeeshops ezingama-573 kwilizwe liphela ezithengisa esidlangalaleni intsangu. I-Cannabis ithengiswa esidlangalaleni kwi-103 koomasipala abangama-380 baseDatshi, kubandakanya izixeko ezikhulu zabakhenkethi ezifana neHague, iAmsterdam neRotterdam.

Nangona kunjalo, umgaqo malunga nentsangu utshintshile kule minyaka idlulileyo. Ngenxa yomibini imixokelelwane yomeleleyo yeziyobisi kunye nabakhenkethi abangaphantsi kwenkcubeko, iNetherlands iya isiba ngqongqo ngakumbi. Iicoffeeshops ezikumda welizwe zithintelwe ukuthengisa intsangu kubakhenkethi. Kwi-2012, ilizwe lizamile ukumisela isicwangciso esiya kuthintela ukuthengiswa kwe-cannabis kubahlali baseDatshi (ababizwa ngokuba lupasiso lokhula), kodwa oko akuqhubanga.
