Dutch Considering Pilot Project To Ban Tourists From Border Coffee Shops

Maastricht, the Netherlands: Non-Dutch citizens will be barred from
visiting coffee shops in the southern border town of Maastricht under a
pilot scheme designed to cut down on so-called "drug tourism," according
to a Reuters News Wire report.
The report cited a Dutch Justice Ministry spokesman, who said that the
ban would begin this summer. He did not say whether the pilot program was
being considered in other Dutch cities, such as Amsterdam.
Maastricht, which borders Germany and Belgium, attracts more tourists
than any Dutch city besides Amsterdam, Reuters reports. Since 1997, the
number of coffee shops in the Netherlands has declined from approximately
1,200 to about 750.

 

Although I don't like this, I can see the reaon that the dutch have. Unfortunately the res of the world isn't as tolerant as the dutch, and weed coming from their country could fuck their foreign relations. Iff too many other countries start complaining about that then they could start to crack down and Holland could no longer be the Mecca or stonerdom.
