I can't imagine the drug industry laundering its profits in the
Netherlands, considering the tax climate. ;)
As for smaller sales (considering export only = border traffic & drug
tourism), i doubt it is more than a fraction of embezzlements of combined
businesses in any single (important) official industry sector.
p.s.: In the dutch news today: Reverend has problems with the local
authorities, for providing addicts with free heroine in his church.
