From Dutch News. Although Dutch laws have been changed so that non-residents are no longer allowed to buy dope in coffeeshops, the implementation date has not been announced. Hurry up and get your tokes in now!
On another consumer note, alcohol-free beer is gaining popularity in the Netherlands as much for the excellent taste as for its appeal to drivers or pregnant women who want a beer. Who knew? Here’s a link to a Dutch website for all types of alcohol-free booze. I hope your browser has the translate option, though there are a few photos to give you clues to brands.
A permanent speedtrap has been installed on one of the highways leading into Amsterdam. You’ve been warned!

Wow, I really thought that this was going to get stopped somewhere in the Dutch political system. It’s going to seriously affect the tourism!
It could be that the delayed implementation is a way to save face for an ill-considered decision. I tried it smoking with friends a few times after college but never got high and always thought the stuff tasted icky.
If you’ve never personally liked it that’s completely fair enough, many don’t, but to me it would be like Vegas banning gambling. I wonder if perhaps somewhere like Portugal (who I believe have essentially legalised all drugs) would be more than happy to relieve Amsterdam of its unwanted trade? I can’t help but wonder if the benefits to Amsterdam are heavily outweighed by the negatives. But I guess that’s a decision for the people of Amsterdam (Amsterdamians??) to decide. We will see!
Apparently I missed the announcement that each city or town would decide for themselves and Amsterdam’s mayor decided not to ban the tourists. Toke on!
Let the party continue! 😀
