All the coffeeshops face a unique problem which only effects the Netherlands as they are the only country to allow coffeeshops.

Under the new European smoking ban which includes coffeeshops: Customers can still light up pure cannabis joints but can not if mixed with the killer tobacco.

The government have hired 200 smoke detectives to police the smoking ban in coffee shops. They say they have been trained to smell the difference between cannabis and tobacco

If you are caught you will be placed up against the wall and shot without any trial but so far most have gotten away with a warning. (joke)

So far so good nothing has changed, but we think not for long as they will start to enforce it soon, we fear the worst.

For anyone who mixes there spliffs, I find after the first few pure numbers its easier/less harsh on the throat. At least thats my experience.
