/\-/\ So Jas it sounds like confusion reigns and some places are playing safe at the moment.
On a political note I can see how it's going to be hard for the Justice Minister to walk away completely from the WP as he has invested a lot of political capital in it, and of course he is still in office. I'm sure he has lots of other serious issues to deal with but the WP is so high profile internally and internationally that quietly rolling it into the corner wont be easy; and I think he is a true believer so thats a personal disappointment.
Theres more to come folks, as far as we know only Harlaam and Mokum have declared they wont do it, and the statutes remain on the books.
We have to hustle for change in our own countries to follow the US lead, although even there the situation is similar with local states for and Big G (feds) against, and of course our (UK) political structures are different and we dont have the same level of local autonomy unless thats granted direct by Central Government on a particular issues eg. antisocial/street drinking ordinances.
But it can be done.

Blue skies today, better go and get antisocial the neighbours with my new sanding machine.

. It's what sunday mornings are for.

The wife and I just returned from Eindhoven after visiting a family member who is unfortunatly very unwell. Only being there for the weekend and not wanting to take a trip to 'Dam' she decided to try her luck at a local CS. (to protect their business I will not name them, so don't ask) we both walked in and sat down (no questions asked), she had a quiet chat with the very polite and informed budtender, produced her passport and low and behold... business was transacted!
Afterwards, she was saying that the budtender (who also turned to be the business owner) was of the opinion that the city authority has no love of Opstelten's weedpass and would be very happy for things to quietly return to 'business as before' and get the dealers off the street.
So maybe, just maybe, Eindhoven at least may be open to all before too long.
Peace,
Old School.

So can you still buy truffles in the places that don't let you buy smoke?

Yup, but that shouldn't come as a surprise...
Coffee Shops = weed and hash
Head Shops = Truffles

I thought as much Uncle Ron. Just find it a little amusing.
I would rather smashed tourists in my town, preferable to tourists tripping off their dial, but that is just me I guess???

SMART SHOPS = truffles
mushrooms can be found. It appears they will bring them out if you appear to be a seasoned, knowing and responsible user. ( and if the store is relatively empty)
At lest that has been my experience

+1...

Smart shops and "selected" head shops = truffles
I've seen truffles sold in a couple of head shops in the past.
Perhaps they were smart shops as well, although I didn't notice anything with Smart Shop written.

I remember the days when I could stroll into pink floyd CS and buy a cup of mushy tea and a lump of umma gumma for a handful of guilders and a smile
Sadly all 3 options are now relegated to my history books

I love tea but can only drink it without sweeteners or dairy, for weed tea to be affective it requires butter or milk.

The No in Doetinchem definitely applies.. my friend who doesn't have a Dutch passport.. now has to apply to the council for a weed pass :/ OR travel to Arnhem.
