In Japan students of a well-known university are arrested because they were growing cannabis plants. While in the Netherlands a cannabis summit is organised and suddenly many coffee shops are threatened with closure, correspondent Go Kamosiha from the Japanese public broadcaster NHK travels to Amsterdam to investigate the Dutch soft drugs policy in practice.
Go Kamosiha meets the project leader form the alcohol and drugs campaign from the Dutch Institute for mental health and addiction that explains the Dutch soft drugs policy. A member of parliament from the Christian Democrat party gives an interview about why her party is against the liberal Dutch drug policy and a Dutch seed producer and exporter Ben Dronkers, the manager of a cannabis information center in Amsterdam give their views.
Also the assistant manager of a school in the center of Amsterdam explains what the policy means for the school and he travels to Bergen op Zoom a town at the Belgium border that plans to close all the coffeeshops to fight soft drugs tourism. Last but not least the Japanese reporter meets and interviews the chairman of the union of Dutch coffee shop owners in his own Amsterdam coffee shop.
