Franco's insight is better than a cnn coverage...

Good to know, let's hope it stays this way for ever though...

What about hte ban of those weeds and hash that goes over the 15% thc level, was that a myth as well?

Peace out!

I'm living close to the border in germany. It is rediculous what cannabis fans all arround here are fearing ans spamming about this new laws.

But in fact, there are some shops in nijmege wich have special prices for germans or foreigners in general.

In the shop of my trust...things like that won't happen that quick the boss garuanteed.

And the ones who draw this laws won't survive the next election period, he added.

So i remain chilling and beeing relaxed about this. When it comes to the edge, it is a big business for many many working people in the netherlands.

And you better don't break those standing and relieable market structures in the modern world, although it's mostly a half legal business...

When i went in July it was as busy as its ever been! im glad to hear its all open but what happened to places like Rokerij and Bas Joes im sure they shut because they are expecting it all to go bums up, how long will it last because as much as i love Amsterdam and as beautiful as it is, no weed then i wont be going back for the museums!?! I have booked a summer holiday to take my 3 yr old to a nice campsite in Wassemaar near leiden so my fella will be sent on a shopping trip to amsterdam! I hope it all stays open in Dam i love it and hate to never have a reason to go back :( but its all down the Dutch and how desperate they are to mess up there economy ;)

I heard that Maastricht started restricting cannabis buying to locals only with plans extending across the netherlands by jan 2013. Has anyone more concrete info on this? Cheers

I recently found a documentation from Eu Parliament and the Drug Adminstration (..). They set out a official Paper, EU wide advice, to regulate their drug Laws and transform it into a more open, not a strict, Condition.

They took the Dutch and Spanish Solution as an Expample for other Eu countries, in which direction they are supposed to go, offically released by Eu Parliament.

Everyone here in Canada was also told by the mdeia that tourists would not be able to purchase cannabis in coffeeshops. NOt sure why this is what people think now but I don't see how this can be enforced if it was true.

From what is being posted here looks like its fine. Glad to hear because i want to go soon!

The introduction of the 'weed pass' earlier this month in the south of the Netherlands is leading to growing problems. Since 1 May, only Dutch residents are able to purchase soft drugs in coffeeshops. Foreigners are barred. Link:http://www.rnw.nl/english/video/weed-pass-sparks-new-problems

I would like to say : Houston, we've had a problem. from Apollo13 . fingers crossed :spiteful:

Maybe we(Strain Hunters) can buy/get "weed pass" in the future.

About us

Strain Hunters is a series of documentaries aimed at informing the general public about the quest for the preservation of the cannabis plant in the form of particularly vulnerable landraces originating in the poorest areas of the planet.

Cannabis, one of the most ancient plants known to man, used in every civilisation all over the world for medicinal and recreational purposes, is facing a very real threat of extinction. One day these plants could be helpful in developing better medications for the sick and the suffering. We feel it is our duty to preserve as many cannabis landraces in our genetic database, and by breeding them into other well-studied medicinal strains for the sole purpose of scientific research.
