Tilburg leaves foreigners in coffee shops from 1 March. Mayor Theo Weterings wrote that to the city council on Wednesday. The experiment is going to take half a year.
In 2012, it was decided that coffeeshops in the south of the Netherlands were no longer allowed to sell to foreigners because of the fight against drug tourism. In some places there has never been strict supervision and other municipalities have slowly relaxed the rules.
Tilburg has already allowed coffeeshop visits by foreigners during two major music festivals. '' With this, good experiences have been gained because, among other things, it has led to less inconvenience. The logical next step is a longer trial period. I want to measure whether the international visit to coffee shops continues to run smoothly, '' said the mayor.
If the experiences are positive, the municipality will relax the rules for a longer period of time, Weterings also announces.
