Some Dutch border towns such as Maastricht and Terneuzen have already restricted the sale of marijuana to foreigners to limit crime and disturbances such as traffic jams.

every time ... some peaceful herb loving tourists just want to enjoy a little freedom and then some stoners have to show up and f it up for everyone. :jointsmile:

thats does suck. hopefully its mostly border towns to stop cross border traffic and not aimed at peaceful North Americans who just want to smoke out with our brothers and sisters. going to Amsterdam is long standing tradition here. :smokin:
