Once Again Amsterdam Tries To Ban Tourists

Fed up with stoned visitors and worried by hard-drug criminality, the mayor wants to clean up the city. But will it work?

Even though there will be no majority for the ban when councillors vote on Wednesday, Halsema has not given up. In her view, and that of the local heads of police and prosecution bodies, banning tourists from coffee shops is unavoidable in order to reduce the size of the soft drug sector, tackle tourist nuisance and attack hard-drug criminality.

Sad. Misguided politicians trying to ban tourists from cannabis cafes in Amsterdam. Like that has anything to do with their underground elicit drug market and not the fact that they haven't fully legalized and regulated cannabis yet. 

Also another reason why we need cannabis lounges here so there is no need to travel just to enjoy that experience. End the war on cannabis now! Support #cannabistourism 🥦 🧳✈️🗼🌉
