Curacao & The Netherlands

Strictly speaking, Curacao is part of the Netherlands. The country of the Netherlands is made up of four main parts, being the Netherlands (the European country that everyone knows), Curaçao, St Maarten, and Aruba.

The last three are all located in the Caribbean, with Curacao and Aruba just north of the coast of Venezuela. While some laws and customs are shared between the different parts, Curacao sets a lot of their own laws and methods for governing. Unfortunately, Curacao does not share the same leniencies as that of the European Netherlands towards weed.

Unlike Aruba, English is one of the official languages in Curacao. In the capital city of Willemstad, English is particularly common.

Medical Marijuana in Curacao

Curacao appears to be moving towards legalizing medical marijuana. While there’s no direct evidence of this, whatscookingincuracao.com has stated that in 2020 (or possibly 2021 now), production of medicinal cannabis for use and export will start.

Like all of the Caribbean region, Curacao has a near-perfect climate for growing cannabis. Where it sets itself apart, however, is the fact that Curacao is not in the hurricane belt. Hurricanes pose a huge risk to cannabis crops, so investors and growers can be more confident in growing weed in Curacao than on other Caribbean islands.
