I think i read about a spokesperson for several coffee shops saying "business will continue as usual"...all the money, they wouldn't turn it down.

It still won't be that difficult to get. I am sure you could shoulder tap like you used to do with alcohol when you were not of age. Like the other poster said..this is an Amsterdam thing, not a Holland thing. Holland is a small country so you could literally take a 10 min ride to another town and get it and comeback. Like Haarlem or something. I got tons of friends there so I won't have an issue. I'm just wondering what "tourist" means. Does it mean non-Europeans or does it mean that anyone not from Holland can't buy. It would be weird not to let EU citizens not buy..but I guess I could understand that.

From a CNN article: "Persons who do not hold Dutch citizenship will not have access to the coffee shops," the Dutch Ministry of Security and Justice said in a statement.

I then found another site saying: "Amsterdam police will turn a blind eye to foreigners buying cannabis in its famous "coffee shops" when a national ban comes into force next year, the city's mayor said on Wednesday."

So.. your guess is as good as mine at this point in time.

Found another piece in the article, guess it's Dutch citizenship only also due to this: "The government said the measure also is needed to crack down on drug trafficking near the borders with Germany and Belgium. "The number of criminal organizations that will be dealt with will be doubled from 20 to 40%," the Ministry of Security and Justice said in its statement."

The Pool Dawg was always a good place. I used to stop in between trips to the sandbox when I was doing private security. It is smaller than some of the more new well known shops, but more locals and off the beaten track... which is what I like.
