Amsterdam MUST go to places

It probably violates EU regulations to exclude citizens of other EU countries from entering.

Nope back in Dec. the European Court of Justice already ruled that Dutch authorities can ban coffee shops from selling marijuana to foreign visitors.

Everybody forgets but cannabis has never been legal in NL, it just applies a gedoogbeleid (tolerance policy) possession of a maximum amount of five grams cannabis for personal use is not prosecuted.

Thats why the EU courts ruled in favor of the ban, (cannabis) has never been legal to begin with so NL. can decide who is allowed to buy.

But they all hold a Dutch business license and pay huge amounts of taxes from sales... money talks



.

Wait. They have high taxes there, get out.

That pub has been closed for sometime now.

What? I was there 11 months ago.

Edit: Looks like it closed temporarily literally days after I left. Weird. Hopefully it is indeed temporary.

I was there last august and it was already closed, shame as it was a fav. pub of mine over the years.
