Last year, dickish conservative politicians in the Netherlands announced their plan to restrict foreigners from the best thing the nation has to offer: high quality cannabis cafes. [An employee who shall remain hyphenated protests that the Van Gogh museum is worth a visit. She has been fired. –Ed.] This would be disastrous for cities like Amsterdam where weed, served up menu-style, is a huge draw for tourists, and so lawyers representing these coffee shops tried to block the measure. But a judge has ruled against them and the restrictive law will be implemented almost immediately in some parts of the country. By next year, it will affect all of Holland, but hey, the Dutch do have other things to offer and surely their bike lanes, canals, windmills, and tours of the Heineken factory can attract throngs of travelers like their weed bars do.

This is the greatest tourist-ical travesty in the history of commercial flight! Their economy is going to get bent over the table and pissed on like a 12-year old-girl at an R Kelly house party. I haven't been to Amsterdam since 2007, but I probably won't make it back ever now. Granted, Amsterdam has some of the prettiest and friendliest local girls in all of Europa, lovely scenery, haute cuisine, some fresh museums and radical anti semites for an angry new york jew like me to fist fight (and win. mother fucker) after leaving 'the bulldog;' but sipping a fine cappuccino while playing chess and smoking lebanese blonde hash is even better than all of that. If we can no longer enjoy that privilege, why even bother visiting? Worst. Decision. Ever.
*tragedy
it all depends on if the conservatives get reelected in september. the ban goes into effect on the 1st of mai in the southern part of holland, and next year in amsterdam.
It was the only reason togo to Amsterdam. Otherwise its just a dirty boring shithole full of unpleasant people…and yes i mean the Dutch.
