The one thing I'm "flummoxed" by is why the Dutch even give a fuck about people growing weed in their house? Aren't the Dutch all about growing weed to the point that its normalised over there?
A few plants in the garden won't raise much attention, but having a hidden room where several hundred watt are in use to grow hemp are different, they take those down mercilessly just like in other countries.
The one is obviously for self sustenance, and the other obviously to make money with, and despite your neighbours being less likely to snitch for your few plants than in other countries, the fifty plants in your basement on a few square meters are just as likely to generate the interest of LE like it would do anywhere else.
Keep in mind you need, just like in the US, licenses to grow a certain quantity and if you do this obviously in a clandestine manner, you will be treated as someone who is up to no good with his harvest.
And they usually are, electricity is expensive here, and someone who pays large sums of money is obviously expecting to get his investment back later when selling the produced flowers.
Just like everywhere, where cannabis is decriminalised or even legalised, a few plants for the private individual are tolerated, but a few dozen plants obviously are not for self sustenance.
Holland has a black market for cannabis products just as well, I mean, the stuff is sold there in amounts that are prohibited to be sold on the legal market, and buyers and sellers exist just as anywhere else.
You can't go to the coffee shop and buy 100g of whatever, but you can from a dealer.
Thats why they try to take down the possible sources of these drugs just like anywhere else.
