Nevertheless, Abraham(1999)states that in the Netherlands, their decriminalization policies have helped deter users out of the black market, with 48% of cannabis purchases made through legal methods such as from coffee shops and 39% of legal purchases made from homegrown cannabis traded amongst family and friends.
