very sad news, the facts are that you cannot go into a coffeshop at 16 but you can go into a bar and get hammered on beer. how stupid is this government. they should close the bars that are close to schools, instead of the coffeeshops.

Hope not! Who chooses who stays open and who closes? And how? Short straws? Tax revenue? Is there a list?...mitsu

Is that what it is,next to schools only?

Moppel · 11-21-2008, 09:41 AM

yes, must be less than 250 meter.

Obviously right-wing religous asshats at work here with some added pressure from Big Brother USA.

How about doing something about the crackheads, heroin addicts, robbers and thieves that roam the streets of A-dam instead? Or the homeless?

yes, a sad day....and could be the beginning of the end for the most sensible and practical "system" for cannabis retailing

let's hope those right wing controllers are voted out before that happens

anyway, let's face it, 99% of Am'dam's problems are non-pot related crime, alcohol and hard drug related....
