Greenwitch Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Here in Limburg South of NL the weedpass is a fact starting May 1.We are like tryout for the rest of NL, In Maastricht the Weedpass is already in business!!!As a dutch citizen I would have to go to the county house to get some official document with my name adress and stuff on it!!With that I have to go to the coffee shop of my choice and get registered!! Something I don't think a lot of Dutch will do!!So the pass system is just as bad for the Dutch as it is for the Tourists!!I sure hope they will stop this stupid system!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenwitch Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 hahah yes wel that will happen anyway, last time I was in a shop was a long time ago!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skengdaddy Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 Ah Dust, thank you... I knew that there was a history of regional governments (namely Amsterdam) opposing national law, plus the implementation in southern districts and I hoped that this situation would be negotiable.. Legally it seems as though there isn't a leg for them to stand on. I didn't understand the subtleties of the situation. What a shame it would be if a country famed for its liberal attitudes were to be taken over by these guys straight out the middle ages!! Already have a trip booked in July and have been twice in the past 6 months, so my spiritual home in an hour on a plane from London ;-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hexx_NL Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 My guess is that we're gonna see a lot more dealers selling from their living-room in years to come. Just like it was in the old days, before we had coffeeshops in the Netherlands. If our government really believes that hammering down on drugs to the full extent of the law will cure the drugproblem that only exists in their twisted minds, they're even more clueless than I already thought.

Dust Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Lol yeah they just gotta look on the money spent by surrounding countries on the war against drugs lol, i'm sure they'd make more with the cofees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hexx_NL Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 So how did a turist do if they wanted weed back then Hexx? Did you have to look around for a hippe kind of guy and ask him or?Pretty much so. There would usually be someone hanging around where the bands were playing, or in one of those youth clubs with loud music. And once they trusted you, it was OK to visit them at home as well. Ganja was rare, though, where I lived it was mostly hash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hexx_NL Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 True. The ganja really did get better since the Stone Age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franco Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 In Amsterdam it will not happen.In September there will be elections probably, and a new coalition government including the socialist party (the most likely) will not implement the weedpass rules from the previous right-wing government. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bam-Bhole Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 As an oldtimer living only 350 kilometers away from A'dam I know the stone age pretty well. First there were 'House dealers' in paradiso + Melkweg plus in the 5 Gulden per night youth hostels where we often used to hang out - The sleep In..From around 11 to 12 and in the late afternoon a hash dealer passed by - he had not much variations and not the best quality, but.Then Vondelpaark - Hippie types passing round each with a certain special Manali Hash, Thai sticks whatever.The real bad spots were of course Leidseplein and Dam Rak. Red Light was for hard drugs only anyway ..Zeedijk 7 china Town- heroin was sold exclusively by chinese..So this system kind of worked unless you came early morning late at night and had to buy in the streets.For regulars like in arnhem etc. ouse dealers were pretty well established with a couple runners selling samples and attracting customers.. there you can often get other stuff as well which caused thousands of smokers getting hooked to hard drugs just because they were stupid enough to accept a free nose of white powder or opium whatever.The thing is that holland has the best rate of seperating hard + soft drugs and less dutch smoke pot or use hard drugs than in the neighboring bigger countries and switzerland.Same story in portugal after legalization crime went down and far less people died from OD'es or Aids than before.But politicians Do Not care about health of their citizens ..worst is the US "if they break the law fuck 'em"..Seems I should go to HTCC this year, who knows when that is next ..lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allday Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 So is it ok for tourists still in Amsterdam. As I read elsewhere that the pass system had already come into force. Allowing only registered locals to buy weed in coffee shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
