Non Netherlands citizen use of coffee shops

[Syncronicity]

Been to breda for a day trip today. Was turned down in every coffeeshop due to not being able to provide Netherlands i.d. First time this has ever happened. In fact most owners got really queer about us even going inside to try!!!! Do the people of holland think they have exclusivity on being chilled out!! Ridiculous, perhaps we should stop them playing British house music in there clubs as they didn't produce it. Hopefully my by annual trip to Amsterdam won't be the same!!!! The brew is stronger in the uk now, so we only go for the chilled out atmosphere. Holland you are about to lose lots of foreign revenue. Perhaps you don't want to be part of the eu either!!!!

Each Council has the right to deny foreign tourists which is better than the original plan to ban all tourists from EVERY coffeeshop in holland

Voyagers did ask for I'd even though I look of age

But they still sold me the Kosher so no problem there.

I've seen ppl at voyagers Barney's and other shop ask fo ID too ppl wit white/grey haired ppl!! In some shop they ask everyone so like that if say....( what about him you didn't ask him fo any) shop don't want police showing up and some one is under age cuz shop will be closed down or big fines probably also (??)

some of you seem to be missing the point.
it's not about id for age, no ones complaining about that, you should have to prove age!!

ITS ABOUT ID FOR NON-NETHERLANDS RESIDENTS!!!!!!!

thankyou very helpfull link

the problem lays with the government parties some are pro pot some are not
if the non pros got in they would of banned all tourists, but the mayor of amsterdam and a few other places said that they would allow tourists to continue to buy so they came up with this plan instead
one of the biggest problems was the southern towns was getting fed up with border jumpers from surrounding countries doing day trips
thank god certain mayors and Noel Van schaik and others campaigned against this so we can still enjoy having a relaxing smoke with like minded people

By law anyone over 14 I believe must carry an ID at all times, period.
