Guys what is the latest about Maastricht? Really all foreigners cannot buy weed there anymore?
I have been to Maastricht (train from Brussels when I was in Belgium for work) about 3 times, last time was I think around June this year. I was planning to go to Brussels for leasure in about 2 weeks and get a train to Maastricht to get some weed..but if its not possible I might as well jus go straight to Amsterdam...whats the latest from someone that has been there recently? (I live in UK but have Croatian passport )

I dont think there is a real consensus in Holland for a major change in the system nationwide, and if it comes in and there is no local support then the Government will be forced to impose it and that then will run into problems with local MP's who would have to vote for it, they aren't all from the Right. If I were a politician I would be weighing up the fact that in these straightened times I'm going to be voteing through some pretty unpopular moves to get the country through the reccesion, how much political capital do I want to squander on something not many people care about? and anyway as far as I know cannabis like the red light trade (and theres one in every town I reckon) is localy regulated for the most part. Theres democracy at work and being tested here, and what a fine thing that isnotsofasteddie wrote:Maastricht Votes Against Becoming 'Guinea Pig' for Cannabis Pass
Tuesday 22 November 2011
The cannabis pass the government wants for coffee shops should be introduced nationally or not at all, Maastricht city council said on Monday evening following a majority vote.
The government wants a registration system for cannabis users to make sure tourists are kept out of coffee shops where small quantities of the drug are sold.
The plan is to introduce the pass system in Maastricht, Tilburg and Eindhoven on January 1 2012, with the rest of the country following later.
The three cities, along with Den Bosch and the four main cities, have voted against the plan, saying it will lead to an increase in street dealing.
Now Maastricht says that if the system is to be introduced, it should be for the whole country and that it does not want to be used as a guinea pig.
