The Dutch are first and foremost Traders.
Just someone higher up not getting his cut for those 60/80 keys a week.
Just like if DeBeers isn't getting it's cut of Africa(supply) or America(demand).
Shit rolls down hill.

An Englishman once told me, "the Dutch are very 'complicated' people'.
And that is true!
Your politics is, also.

It's got absolutely nothing to do with the E.U. mate. You should know that, being part of it!
Holland, along with many other EU countries, is becoming more right-wing in the face of economic instability. It's the centre-right Dutch government to blame....I'm sure Brussels couldn't care less.
Peace.

I felt it both unnecessary and a little smug to reveal that i have actually lived in Amsterdam for a number of years and have had a connection with the city for something approaching 30 more. Your claim that ' tourists have screwed it up for those it was meant for' is disingenuous at best and flagrantly ignores the fact Coffeeshop owners have willingly exploited the tourist trade for a very long time.

Weed IS illegal in the Netherlands hence the exploitation by coffee shop owners has been screwing it up for the locals for who the tolerated weed has been a tradition and way of life.


It would be a similar situation if out of state visitors would be screwing it up for state legal medical users in Cali IF dispensary owners would be selling to them.
And trust me most would sell to non med users if they dared to...but they know they are already walking a fine line with their businesses.
Yes businesses because although they are not allowed to most still make a profit. But that's a different subject there.


And why are you asking me to point out something I have made a general statement about? You got a weird way of understanding.

the thing is: there is no court(in holland) that ever said weed d be forbidden to sell to foreigners while on the other hand i think cali court said it d only be allowed to sell it medical users right?

well it was decriminalized in california anyways so even if you do get caught with some its a ticket fine so the risk here in california is minimal unless your the one growing all the shit then you can be in a bit of trouble ...local police where i live could give a rats ass if your smoking weed i got pulled over they took my car for out of date insurance i gave up my weed and they said "put that shit back in your pocket we dont care about that shit"...its the federal law that is being assholes here in california ....oh and the old dying out brainwashed generation that is complaining also...do you remember "reefer madness " thats on dumb ass movie and those generations grew up believing that crap ....top it off weed became illegal in the us for some racist ass beliefs thinking oh if we make it illegal all the blacks, mexicans and other minoritys will leave back to where they came from ...and they think stoners are dumb asses ! peace free freedom !

The EU court gave dutch authorities the power to ban coffee shops from selling cannabis to tourists.

And this just might be a dumb American point of view but wouldn't the Netherlands wanna tell the E.U. to fuck off just for pride in being a sovereign nation. Americans would be outraged that someone was telling us what do, even it was something as minor as only effecting tourists, especially if it hit someones bottom line haha. Best of luck Amsterdam hope they don't change before i get out there at least once.
