"I think his revenues are 5 to 6 million Euros on Philips products alone. Philips is THE brand in the industry", an insider says of the intermediary that Philips sold their lamps to the cannabis industry through. Nothing was put on paper with this intermediary and they were careful to filter their operations through a wholesaler, but his lawyer attests to his partnership with Philips and shows us an email in which Philips gave him advice on how the lamps were best used for growing cannabis. As criminologist Frank Bovenkerk points out, while it may not have been illegal, the morals are certainly questionable. "It is absolutely clear that a number of serious criminal organizations are dealing with this business. Very unpleasant people." Now that the law is changing to outlaw the supply of lamps to the growing industry, Philips has changed its policy and left its intermediary badly in the lurch. But many say it is too little too late. "They're in a position that is conductive to crime, often organised crime." A fascinating look at how large companies make money at the fringes of the law and a warning of the kind of industries that can grow up around cannabis legalisation.
