SUBSCRIBE to Next Media Animation A Dutch court is attempting to ruin the fun for everyone with a new plan to outlaw the sale of marijuana to foreigners. This law would target coffee shops that traditionally sell the drug to their patrons. This ban could damage the “pot tourism” industry of the Netherlands.

“This is such a good idea.” *destroys economy.*
Don’t despair… you’ll still be able to get magic truffles and other stuff like that. And I doubt any marijuana cafes will actually uphold this stupid law, they’ve always been pretty fringe anyway.
Once again a government confuses marijuana with crack, meth, and cocaine. Pot heads don’t commit crimes they sit on the couch eating Funions. It’s not a gateway drug either. So yes a pointless law will hurt their tourism, assuming the law is enforced.
There is no way that a law which discriminates based on whether you’re a native or tourist will stand for too long. Not only that, but if enough businesses report falling profits and can link it to this new legislation, then it’ll hopefully get overturned on the basis of it creating unemployment.
I predict this will lead to higher murder rates like the prohibition and war on drugs in the US did.
ha ha that law will never pass dont worry and even if it does the cafe’s are sure as hell not gonna up hold it
Morons…. pot heads dont do crime to get their weed “fix”
I hope the change fucking cripples the economy.
Amsterdam is way better then the peanuts in Japan and China
still anything short of placing armed guards outside all the cafe’s i dont see how this law can work at all
I wish I gave a shit.
These kind of things waste my time anyway.
I’m fine with everyone else opposing this law, but don’t drag in others who clearly don’t care.
This is good. Now Americans don’t have to worry about dying of weed overdoses there.
This could lead to the rise of another Al Capone… or would that be Al Cannibus?
The question is if Taiwan will ever embrace marijuana
The whole point of ‘gedogen’ (tolerate) the sale of softdrugs was to hinder criminal organisations and the underground production. Now, by making it illegal for tourists they have 4 ‘bad’ consequences: 1. possibly less tourism, 2. underground production is stimulated, 3. coffee shops have less income and may be willingly go into underground production, 4. ‘discrimination’ lawsuits (even although it isnt). Tourists will get their hand on it anyway, so it is not going to help.
the sales will just go underground like in the rest of the world.
a weed pass will never work,its like saying drink alcohol with a pass,ppl will still do it
It’s like the beginning of a bad joke: So a Mexican, a Jamaican and a Jew walk into a Dutch cannabis cafe…
But what the video doesn’t mention is that its the EU who have the biggest hold over this. The EU is the main push behind all this trying to get it banned to anyone who is ‘foreign’ to the country
It will certainly be a massive loss, half thier tourism, more? Its ironic, they do this mainly because they worry about foreigners exporting cannabis, but you can’t buy large amounts in shops anyway so that “problem” is not going anywhere.. This will just force the sale of cannabis underground and into the hands of organised criminals. Fucking morons.
