The love of Jesus is entering the government there.

Isn't that a good thing?

You heard wrong. Some shops are being closed due to their close proximity to schools, or because they are violating certain laws, not because they government is trying to shut them all down.

Besides, Amsterdam could do with a few stoners less.

Millions? Don't delude yourself. Tourists will always be able to come to Amsterdam and get stoned if they want to, and even if it became impossible, how many tourists come to Amsterdam JUST for the semi-legal weed?

I gather that a great deal of dutch citizens hate potheads and resent the stoner tourists.

haha win.

It might be because the legal weed is going everywhere in the EU because of their open borders and their neighbors are tired of seeing an influx of dumbass stoners in their otherwise productive citizenry. A good portion of Germans I met in Germany were stoners and did drugs in addition to the traditional raging alcoholism.

People elect these idiots because they are fed up of idiots like you!

Also, these stories have circulated for absolute years, i cant see pot being illegal any time soon.

Yeah, it's for personal use.

The whole thing is about making Amsterdam more family-oriented and cleaner in general. So no more coffeeshops next to schools and not as much crime associated with them. That's the idea, anyway.

weed isnt legal in the netherlands. its illegal but decriminalised.

google dutch opium act.

similarly, in the czech republic its illegal, but there's no punishment for 'less than a small amount', so it falls under the discretion of the officer of the law.

Government is cracking down on growers and closing/not renewing their license several coffeeshops. It's all Christian party business who have a huge boner over strict moral values and outlawing everything.
They'll never close coffeeshops though, it earns the government around 40 billion in taxes from coffeeshops alone.

This is what happens when you let muslims into your country.

I'm not being racist, just point out that letting in lots of violent durka durkas into the netherlands is what caused people to jump into the arms of the christian party as sort of a safety net.

Tldr; its your own fault, faggots.

Not exactly true. The Christian party made up the government for about 70 years until 1990, before that, different Christian parties were the government. In fact, during the most recent elections, lots of people started voting for the SP, Socialist Party.

But nowadays, Christian party no. 1 holds 33 seats, and Christian party no. 2 holds 12. They've always been strong with their loyal voters, but I kinda agree with the other anon that with the upsurge of muslim troubles everybody's suddenly redefining themselves as SUPER-CHRISTIANS and getting those bullshitters in my government.

Shit will change with the smoking ban, maybe. Best info I have is that people wait to see if they get busted and how hard. The law enforcement there follows no fixed rules, except don't be too big a dick.

Best quality, best value, best selection on everything in NL, just have good credit.
