Topic: When will Dutch coffee shops stop serving foreigners?
Anonymous A started this discussion 14 years ago#22,784
I've never been to a coffee shop but I must drive to Amsterdam and see it all before they're closed down. News says they will start closing doors to foreigners "from next year", but how long exactly do I have left? Will there still be coffee shops in February or March 2013, or is that too late?

Been there done that. Tis amazing. Variety's offered require research to know wot to ask for. I noticed that many Dutch will roll own cigarettes - mixing terbacco with weed.
Oh and Dutch being so friendly - Rules I bet do not forbid a Dutch citizen from sharing a cup of coffee and smoke with foreigners. Silly lawn.

I tried to make up for it with the edit. I doubt a dumb law is going to change anything. They did not make it illegal for me to buy a cup of coffee. Nor to sit with locals and drink and and and and.

"A Dutch judge has ruled that tourists can legally be banned from entering cannabis cafes, as part of new restrictions which come into force in 2012"
So can they stop you from sitting down at one of the outside tables? lol If judges went along with that kind of rule, Dutch judges would be called Nazi's.

Been to Chile to China & Australia to Siberia. Never to either of the poles. (Flown over both) Only view of penguins was at zoos or when I wore a Penguin suite re Tux. I have many a Tux in black and full tails and White with full tails and of course the White dinner Jackets. Used to be necessary re formal parrrrrrrty requirements. Even a few pics of such have appeared here with me in such for Halloween.

You can always kind of tell because the real to4str can usually handle more that this when he actually wants an answer for something. At least he could. I mean maybe this actually is to4str, and he's just become a worse person. But for now I'm going to remain sceptical.

Some idiot replies telling me he doesn't think that coffee shops will be closed down (even though they definitely will) then goes on to tell me some shit about how he's been there and how the Dutch are friendly. I ask a very, very simple question and get nothing but irrelevant bullshit. As I don't appreciate that I'm moody and someone that is pretending to be someone else? No. All I want is a simple answer, if you can't give me that then don't reply. It's so simple.

Yes if you fly from Buenos Aires to Australia (Sydney) on Aerolineas Argentinas (sp?) you fly over to some extent Antarctica. Pilots always say something about it, but often in Spanish.
Some other time re special trips over North Pole on non scheduled aircraft.

Excuse me but. I was in Argentina and needed to fly to NSW Australia. Multiple times over a few years. You do know a lot of people in Argentina speak Italian and German.
Over the years there were times I wish I had hired a Aussie interpreter, because some accents were so difficult to follow. Found out that native Aussies agreed with me.

We also do the dougie, the pony, the swim, the twist, the running man, and the mashed potato. Usually while this happens, an elderly lady yells at me from her bed, that I'm moving my legs wrong.

Anything with complex twists and turns. Jitterbug is my Fav and Jitterbug done with Cajun flare is my fav because you can fuck around and create new moves on the fly. One great feature is I can ask someone who has never danced before and in 2 minutes get her to smile and laff and feel like she has been dancing for years.
Latin and Lindy Hop and many other forms of Ballroom require that both partners have taken lots of lessons. Lots of rules - Cajun has a rule about No rules. (One rule - You must have fun with it)

U R joking. Last year trips of 3 days a week to Globalstar headquarters which is now in Looserana - I have spent so much business time in San Jose re Electronics stuff over so many years. Sunnyvale Palo Alto all of course via your Airporte. Lots of fun time dancing in San Francisco and I still do business trips there for Verizon and AT&T and used to work out of Livermore, Pleasanton and San Francisco. Globalstar still has the back up control center in bay area (hidden)

Ik leef door 'Go big or go home.' Dat is met alles. Het is als een van beide te plegen en ga ervoor of doe het niet helemaal. Ik toepassen op alles. Ik toepassen op relaties, ik toepassen op zoals surfen, ik toepassen op alles. Dat is wat ik leven. Dat is hoe ik het graag. Ik heb gekregen heel goed in het plannen van mijn leven, het plannen van mijn 10 mijl loopt en surfen en het voorbereiden van mijzelf voor het kennen, het opslaan van de energie, de consumptie van de energie, weten wanneer je moet gaan voor het en het hebben van de beschikbare reserves om te kunnen om dat te doen. Je moet over nadenken, want het is uithoudingsvermogen.

Pretty much this. Without weed tourists they're going to lose millions. Seems stupid to take more money out of an already struggling economy. Go to Jamaica instead.

On the other hand the Nederlands is one hell of a fyne place to visit. Been there by air and train. Given natives can buy pot, and natives are super friendly......Getting wot ya needs should be simple.
I am a huge fan of Jamaica but ya don't really want to be a tourist there unless you do one of the super resorts like Hedonism II (Negril, Jamaica) Pot is dirt cheep. They have an orientation session re Magic Mushrooms and the Nude beach is beyond anything anyone could ask for in a wet dream. One price includes great meals & ALL YOU CAN DRINK! including beach sand service. Nude sailing trip to the water falls and nude horseback riding. None of that in Nederlands.
Netherlands is a wonderful place to visit n pot is such a small part of the total experience. Ya don't want to walk around outside of resort in Jamaica - You do want to walk n walk in Netherlands.

The point is it takes away from the total experience. Not being able to smoke in a semi-public arena. I always smoke in private. I can smoke in private anywhere.

Not at all. As someone that constantly smokes weed, I'm not going to visit somewhere unless I know I can get a supply of it there. Not only that, it was the novelty of buying high quality cannabis in that kind of environment that appeals to thousands of tourists. You underestimate how many people traveled there mainly to smoke weed.

Been about 3 years since last there so ask dw this - Those coffee shops have outdoor patio tables. So unless its raining I bet the lawn has not reached the point where a tourist cannot sit down for a cup of coffee. So asking someone at the next table for a helping hand is probably 100% legal. Keep in mind the find citizens of Netherlands wanted no part in the law they were forced to pass.
So you cannot go past the door NOW in a few places. I never did but you will notice that there are places where people in the open in parks shoot up "H" One I remember is in eye distance on the same block in Amsterdam as police dept. dw may update me on if lawn changed. I mean I know it was/is against the lawn and always has been but but but - Netherlands is most famous for a modern outlook on handling awful terrible drugs so it does not become a problem for the rest of citizens.

Only pointing out that the Gov provides clean needles and environment conducive for a serious drug. Pot aka Weed is only an issue re border countries butthurt.
Need dw to splain Y u should have no problems smoking what you want to smoke and access to whatever you want.
