Shut up about amsterdam

[bristol bred]

why is it every week someone comes on the site and starts a thread about Bud becoming illegal or tourists not being able to smoke in a,dam.
so i though i could set the record straight
Bud in amsterdam is ILLEGAL, it is only tolerated, its seen as being controled and keeping people away from hard drugs.
Amsterdam is not making it ilegal to sell to tourists, this has been propositioned but has been turned down, as 'drug' tourists make up a huge proportion on the money spent in the cafe's
The new EU smoking Regulations, ie stating that employees should not be subjected to harmful smoke such as tobacco etc is the only legislation which could harm a,dam. Currentley your not allowed to smoke at bars or Eating cafe's. Brown cafes have always asumed to be excluded in this, as one goes there to smoke. But its recently been rules they have to comply and they have until something like 2008 to sort it out.

So please will people do some research themselves, or stop putting up the same threads.

peace :rasta:

So you want to shut down the dialogue?
No need to proclaim this fleeting truth. The only thing consistent is change. I for one am glad that it raises awareness the way it does.
No offence, don't procrastinate, participate.

As long as they don't fuck up freely accessable bud before I get to go this year for a week or so, I don't give a shit.

LOL....

Perhaps the reason there are many threads is that some people are new to the board, maybe even new to researching on the Net.... who knows....

You are absolutely right about the status of Cannabis in the Netherlands - it is Illegal, but tolerated. The dialogue on this site often refers to the changing level of tolerand in the Netherlands as a whole - there are a set of interesting debates going on...

So, if the situation keeps changing, why is it a surprise that people ask questions???

More than that, if you are assuming that nothing changes, then you introduce risk for yourself....

one general pejudice people have about stoners is they cant be bothered to do anything, thus proving them right.
