some other info!!

AMSTERDAM (AP) â?? The incoming Dutch government has ditched plans for a national "weed pass" that would have been available only to residents and that would have effectively banned tourists from Amsterdam's marijuana cafes.

However, under a provisional governing pact unveiled this week, cities can bar foreigners from weed shops if they choose.

The pact says that it wants only Dutch residents to have access to marijuana cafes, but leaves enforcement up to cities. Amsterdam opposes a ban, which would hurt tourism.

Some cafe owners said Tuesday that they are satisfied Dutch weed policy will remain unchanged, while others criticized the lack of clarity.

Marijuana trafficking is technically illegal in the Netherlands, but people can't be prosecuted for possession of small amounts and the drug is sold openly in designated "coffee shops."

It all remains the same. Exactly. Clever really. Weed for the tourists only where the locals say it is OK.

Can see things potentially getting even better now in Mokum as competition intensifies into less markets.

it's actually amazing.

The conservaties don't have the grounds to ban it anymore since the issues can not be addressed while at the same time the liberals can leave it "legal" where they population is for it.

is this poser crying for attention? seem to be the same MSG that i posted yesterday that i stole from other \

Fantastisch nieuws! It's good to see that the incoming government realizes the economic damage to tourism the wietpass could have caused. I think they will definitely notice a spike in 2013 hotel reservations from non-Nederlanders waiting for the pass to be shot down, and should feel the financial impact very soon.

Party on, ACD peeps!

ya its very vague.... i'd suspect AMS will not choose to enforce it... so then its business as usual.

still like to see how things shake out in the next few weeks....

What a bunch of shite.. nothing solved. the weed still has to "mysteriously appear" in the shops.. growing for distrubution has to continue to be part of an " underground black market" alot of political grandstanding. will make a mental note of this for next year when it comes up again.. and now they will still eventually attempt to introduce some 15% rule.. but that won't ever happen either. should have been an American reality show with all of the posturing and drama..

It's over, shut it down...

The problem is the 'Enacted Legislation' on the books in the 'Hague' that the previous 'Totalitarian' leaning Goverment introduced, with the additional push by this pro-alcoholic Justice Minister (look at his face...it tells it all), needs to be reversed/recinded, before the threat to the Coffeeshops existence is finally put to rest. It is amazing how those who love the drug alcohol, demonize every other drug, and in their delusionary world consider themselves drug free! I often compare it to (not generalising here) those who like Dogs, and hate Cats, whereas people who like Cats, also like Dogs...go figure!

It is not over yet! Pot lovers/freedom lovers, and lovers of 'Liberty,' worldwide we must continue the fight, since the 'Barbarians' are at the gate! If Amsterdam shuts down to tourists, then the 'Prohibitionists' will consider it a major victory in their idiotic war on so-called Drugs...remember, the morons still believe; Pot leads to Heroin!

BTW I love a cold Beer and 12-15 year old Scotch Whisky occasionaly...everything in moderation (including Pot & Food) goes a long way to making oneself happy and a better person/citizen.

PS It is never over until the 'Fat Lady' sings!

Stop talking shit about dog and cat lovers. It ain't true.

My cat likes dogs but doesn't like cats, go figure... it's a mixed up world

I'm still looking for some cowbell...
