New Amsterdam Laws?

this is soo fucked. This will NOT happen. people will go apeshit. The problem with legislation in holland is that the growing of marijuana isn't exactly legal so they create a place for the mob to flourish and use cannabis as a way to further criminal activity. In holland the rules is Max. 5 plants per person Outdoors. No Lights or supplements(food) allowed. and the climate only supports growth between may-september. So because the backdoor of marijuana (growing) is basically illegal if you wanna do it right, the mob produces 75% of the cannabis and so that's where the crime steps in and fucks with everything to the point where they are now thinking of slowly making it illegal again. what fucks.
 
Ah, I just started a similar thread.....oh well.

This will happen as it's already voted in. People have gone apeshit, but not the right people. There are probably tons of right wing people in the Netherlands sick and tired of people who have maybe smoked weed once in their life or never who go there and try it for the first time and get super fuckin' backed and then wander their streets. Then they take mushrooms on top of that. Sounds great for a tourist ---- yea! drug wonder land. But imagine if you had to deal with these people daily: at the bus stops, at McDonalds, on the streets, at your work, in the restaurants, near your home.....you'd want to restrict the laws to just citizens eventually to.

As an American in Europe, my advice to those who are going to Europe and need to buy something to tide them over--- go to Prague. Yes, it is illegal to sell here, but authorities have a look the other way policy.
 
@ dooley -wow nice generalization there. One thing is for sure; I don't envy you.

@ whitewidower... im still saying that it's not going to happen, and if it does it wont last very long.
 
when you go to amsterdam they listen to american music, watch american movies, and wear american clothes and then wanna act like they dont want to be us! Not to mention the majority of them have no manners and there food is prolly the worst i have ever come across. amsterdam and holland in general sucks. America has way better weed too. mainly because the amsterdam shit is not properly grown. dont be salty frankenbuds you know u love us.
 
I love parts of americana, The movies, the music, the counterculture, I could do without the wars and your government. Personally I'm not real big on national pride in any way as it is in my opinion quite a limited way of thinking, you say you're american yet I assume you are not a Native and so really one could argue if you are?
 
lol , thats like me saying im an african because thats where the first people started. stupid analogy frankenbuds..nice try
 
your correct WW420. been to AMS 8 times and am heading back to Europe for 12 days (4 in AMS) next month. I can see how the Dutch can feel this way about their drug laws and not wanting foreigners messing up a good thing. It does sadden me that this most likely will stay as a law. Most Americans have no clue how to behave in European countries. I have seen the ugly American thing way to many times to count. They are loud, obnoxious, in your face, typically not very polite, don't try to learn basic phrases of the language and act like they own the place. Completely the opposite of Europeans.

I visit a lot of coffee shops, bars, cafes etc and can always pick out the Americans within 30 seconds of entering. i love America and all it stands for just wish people knew how to behave a little better when in a foreign country.

i like your response shannonball i personaly never ben to amsterdam but if americans act the way they act in theyre own country when theyre stoned it must be uterly annoying in a fogeign country
 
i heard they shake all the buds before they sell them to the americans ,
screw amsterdam ,

they dont even like us
 
those who say that americans are all loud, obnoxious blah blah blah are talking crap.

i've hung out in Madrid at 5am and they are just as loud and crazy as americans. i saw several bar fights in belgium, and i was there only 2 nights.

and the people in amsterdam are cool.

if you were treated like an asshole maybe it's b/c you are one.... :P

i went and had a great time.... and i'm american. :P :P :P

Shit...I wish we knew how to behave better HERE.

But like another poster above me said, everyone has their idiots. Asian tourists in America are annoying as fuck. Just a generalization. Americans get a bad rap abroad, sometimes deservedly so. Sometimes not. If you act like a guest at all times, then you have nothing to worry about. The problem comes in when people travel and act like they own the place. Ignorance knows no nationality.

Sucks they are doing this, as I always wanted to go visit there. Oh well, there's plenty of other places in Europe to travel to.
 
I don't see this happen in Amsterdam soon, the local government has been against these plans from the start. There's court cases going on right now whether cities will be able to decide for themselves if the laws are applicable in their area.. It is mostly aimed at keeping Belgian and French drug 'tourists' away.

Now if only these neighboring countries would introduce more flexible drug laws, the 'problem' would be solved. :/
 
I agree this is far from passing.

One other thing to think about is the revenue from tourists. They want to preserve this.

While i think they will or can impose further restrictions, i think its less than likely for this to happen.

keep in mind its illegal for americans to partake anyways, yet its a openly known fact this happens
 
Fucking Stupid ass power-happy government,,,fuck,think of the revenue loss by ALL the coffee shops in the dam. I got back from the dam at the start of May, and not once was there any sign of any form of trouble,in any coffee shop,,and we vistied alot,,and they all were packed with tourist,,even the ones out of the centre are tourist freindly,,,this is just another reason for us to all grow our own..
 
you are exactly right Learning2Hydro. AMS is a great place and they don't hate Americans they actually enjoy them and have no attitude towards us. What they don't like is just like you said " problem comes in when people travel and act like they own the place."

@Sniffer. some places do shake their buds. The better places don't. It's not like here comes an American, let's shake the buds." So making a blanket statement like that isn't correct. Most places don't. the ones that do tend to not stay in business long.
 
amsterdam is a lovely place the people there are nice too as for the clothes the shops are full of european lines everyone listens to all kinds of music in all countries so get off your high horse dooley,
Like anywhere treat anyone with respect and 9 times out of 10 you will receive respect back.
 
This is a bad move as a it is not just for Americans, but all non-local residents including those from the UK, which make up a lot of their more regular tourist. Economic suicide if you ask me
