They're not banning it for residents, however, so it seems a strange decision. Awards

I thought the stronger varieties were outlawed last October? I think it will take more to change the image of Amsterdam... Awards

It will help boost sails supporting your local drug dealer. Not a bad idea... cheaper that way.

So if following the basis of the lead post comment this means you are protecting the tourists from addiction but allowing your own citizens to become addicted. That's messed up. I would think what is good for one is good for the other.

I would think what is good for one is good for the other. The premise that is disputed by the cafe owners is that the visiting consumers cause public order problems in the city, once they have smoked their joints, whilst the locals do not. Perhaps they'll next restrict alcohol sales to residents? I agree with you, Shamu. It doesn't seem logical. Maybe the city authorities want to alter the profile of the tourists visiting the place?

Tourists, since they are usually on a vacation, tend to take things to excess and may party too hard. This becomes especially true when they gain access to something that is forbidden fruit at home. Just human nature I suppose. Tourists are often not the best representatives of what a country has to offer. To truly see a countries culture you need to visit their home turf.
