At the moment the now defunct Dutch government managed to push through a ruling that means Coffeeshops will not be able to sell to people who are not Dutch citizens. I am not 100% clear on the exact wording of who is classed as a Citizen, but I have a Unlimited Residency permit and I am not even sure that this will enable me to buy in coffeeshops.

Okay, so this is the law. In reality the South of the Netherlands has introduced this as a trial and basically ALL of the coffeeshops have closed their doors as they did not want to comply with the way things worked, ie providing Memberships, Information of members, etc, and then only having a ltd number of customers allowed, and only allowed to sell a ltd amount to these people. So in Maastricht, Limburg, and Brabant (I think) there are no shops open.

The Dutch people do not want this either as it means that if they are on a list, then it has possible implications for Health insurance premiums, car insurance, etc, etc. It also means that you can only register in one shop and buy from that shop.
I spoke to a guy yesterday who comes up to Amsterdam to buy and he said a friend of his was stopped by police (I think because his bike lights were not working) And they ended up taking his weed(under 5 grams which use to be allowed).

It is supposed to go country wide next year but there are elections coming up this year and hopefully a new more Leftist govt will be put in power and these utterly stupid laws will be crushed. The guy I spoke to said he can go to Uni in the morning and have a van of Moroccans pull up to him and offer him hash. There are loads of people on the streets trying to punt crap already and giving people a hard time for not buying off them. It's honestly madness. I really do not see what the government were trying to do. Basically it's almost lie, "well we have fucked the economy just like every other European country, so we are at least going to try and do something to change things while we are in power...." They defunct government were basically Right wing religious pratts that want everyone to stop with their Leftist behavior of smoking and drinking.

There will be a riot if it happens in the Dam. The Mayor does not want it to happen, and people here certainly don't.

Dude, that started before the weed crackdown. A lot of the windows have been closed and turned into alternative businesses. But that was more of a Dam initiative to clean the Red Light up. That will never be banned either.

People have been smoking and trading in Hemp and Cannabis in Amsterdam for centuries, as well as servicing the sailors and traders that came into town. It isn't suddenly going to stop because some religious fukking priks in Government want to try and rock the boat. There has been threast over the last 30 plus years about changing coffeeshops. I think this is the most serious it has got though.

I can never remmber anything like that. I guess any building with women writhing around high on coke in their undies would look like a big wall of whores when you are stoned, lol....

EDIT: Anyway, if you want to spend money on sex, go to a decent brothel. At least you can kid yourself that the whole of Europe haven't flung one up it...(not that I would ever do that like!)
