42 per cent of Britons 'wouldn't visit red-light district if cannabis was banned'. Results come as part of a move from Amsterdam's mayor to overhaul drug use. Cannabis is currently available in the city under a policy of tolerance to drug use.
I suppose this is one way to bankrupt a country. She needs to be careful what she wishes for. Amsterdam
Been saying this for years! It won’t happen as it makes too much money and money talks bullshit walks
Meh, i get it from locals anyway 🤷♂️
That’s amsterdams tourism industry fucked then
There was a rumour a few years ago that the EU wanted to close Amsterdam's cannabis cafés. They agreed a compromise: only local citizens would be allowed to buy cannabis. Seems they're now implementing it.
Odd to see the mayor of a city trying to reduce tourism.
But alcohol and tobacco sales will continue. What about herbal cake? Doesn't sound very EU friendly. Will Tulips be next?
Sooooo, they’ll just give it to us? for free?
I wonder if there's a Dutch version of David Lammy screaming about how this is racist.
I was there back in the early 80's. The narcotics traffickers were considered dangerous even back then . I can't imagine how out of control it all is now.
Be warned ! Walking out with a joint or rest of weed and you are stopped by police . You get charged with intent to deal .
Seeing many Britts have walked in to a trap ! The buy weed in them places , have a joint in there walk out with what’s over , police tipped by security and they get stopped on the spot fine and deported!.
The socialists and commies have taken over Amsterdam now. It's like a lawless anarchist society at the mo. No more blazin 420 Lmao
Didn't some other jackass try that Bullshit a few years ago? Way to try and destroy a flourishing market. I don't think that's compatible with EU-Law anyway because you can't exclude people based on nationality.
