No Weed Pass in Amsterdam!

BREAKING NEWS!

The weed pass... Most of you probably heard about it already. The weed pass is a legal monstrosity that has been in operation since may 1st 2012 in the South of Holland. Because of the introduction of the weed pass it was impossible for foreigners to visit the coffeeshops over there. The intention was that the weed pass would be introduced on January 1st 2013 throughout Holland (including Amsterdam). However, it became very clear that since the introduction a couple of months ago different cities in the south had a lot of problems with nuisance and crime, all thanks to the weed pass. You see, Dutch people can not take the weed pass. You having to register as a cannabis user? Fuck off... the Dutch say.

Cannabis Liberation Day Festival Amsterdam 2012

Cannabis Festival

A great cannabis festival organized in Amsterdam this Sunday, the 17th of June! The government of the Netherlands is changing the drug laws and the people are angry. We have informed you about the new system, banning tourists from Dutch cannabis café’s and obligating local citizens to register as a pot smoker to be able to purchase their favorite herb. The new laws will be put into effect nationwide in 2013, but in the South of the country they have already gone into effect.

Day 1 of Banning Tourists from Dutch Coffeeshops

Day 1 of Banning Tourists from Dutch Coffeeshops

So it has finally happened; the first day of banning tourists from buying their beloved herb in the Southern cities of the Netherlands has come. From now on visitors need to have a ' wietpas' to be able to enter a coffeeshop. And this new rule states that only residents of the Netherlands can register for this so called “weedpass”. Today has been a very hectic day in coffeeshop-land as in many cities the new rule created confusion and chaos. In Maastricht, a city close to the border of Belgium only one shop opened its doors in the morning just to refuse the first tourist their entrance to the facility. This of course resulted in angry foreigners who then went in a big march to the local police station to report a case of discrimination. All other coffeeshops in Maastricht didn't open their doors at all out of protest.

“420 Smoke-out in Amsterdam on April 20st 2012”

Pressrelease from Coffeeshopnieuws.nl: “420 Smoke-outs in Amsterdam on April 20s

Pressrelease from Coffeeshopnieuws.nl:
On April 20st 2012 many people with an affection for cannabis from all over the Netherlands and from many international countries are coming to Amsterdam. They are coming to show that they will not let themselves be discriminated against by the Dutch government. The new Dutch ‘Weed pass-policy’ discriminates the Dutch against equal other Dutch persons by not letting them into any other 'Private Coffeeshop Club' than the one that they officially registered with as a member. By doing so, this policy pushes the Dutch cannabis user into illegality. If they are not in their own municipality where they are registered at a coffeeshop, they will have to turn to the street-dealers.

Dutch Police Raids Cannabis Cup In Amsterdam

Police Raids Cannabis Cup In Amsterdam

Holy crap. And that's the end of the Cannabis Cup as we all know it... Yesterday the police raided the Cannabis Cup Expo in Amsterdam. The police entered the expo with 150-200 cops (!) "to ensure that all vendors were in compliance with tax laws and a 500 gram limit for cannabis that is enforced in the Netherlands, for coffeeshop owners". Yeah, yeah, bullshit we say. The police didn't care about tax laws and a 500 gram limit. This is a political statement, and nothing else. The Dutch government wants to get rid of cannabis, the coffeeshops and also the 'Cannabis image' it has had worldwide for the past 30 years or so. And by cracking down the biggest cannabis event of the world, this is just a new, major step. They can't make the event illegal, but they can surely try to discourage everyone to come next year again. So they did... What a wankers. Or 'Klootzakken' as we say in The Netherlands.


Reaction from High Times: "...started over a misunderstanding about a permit application filed by the venue to host the event, a situation that lead to a clearing of the expo by law enforcement..."


Uhhh what? Also complete bullshit of course. We ain't that stupid.


Dutch Government Repeats: Weed-pass Will Be Introduced

Dutch Government Repeats: Weed-pass WIll Be Introduced

Coffeeshops in The Netherlands are having a hard time at the moment. The current government already declared war to cannabis some time ago, yesterday they repeated that message. This year already the so-called weed-pass will be introduced in the south of The Netherlands and soon Amsterdam and the rest of the country will follow. If this will happen we can say goodbye to good old Amsterdam as we all know it. I don't get it. And I don't buy it either by the way. Somehow I feel they can only talk the talk...

Arjan from Greenhouse arrested at Cannabis Cup

Arjan from Greenhouse arrested at Cannabis Cup

Yesterday afternoon (Monday) Arjan from the Greenhouse got arrested at the Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam. It's not known yet why he got arrested. Check the vid which shows how he gets taken away from his coffeeshop by the police. Weird...

 

Update: According to CelebStoner High Times' editor Danny Danko has tweeted: "mistaken identity - he is out now." But I guess he deleted it again, because I can't find that tweet anymore. Seems that the (self acclaimed) ´King of Cannabis´ spends his Cannabis Cup behind bars.

Update II: And the tweet is back again. Mistaken identity indeed. Yeah right. Ah well, who cares.

Coffeeshops in Amsterdam for locals only?

Coffeeshops in Amsterdam for locals only?

If the new government of The Netherlands gets its way, coffeeshops will be for locals only in the future. Can't believe it? Keep dreaming... Not kiddin', the plans are there and they're pretty serious about it. RIP Amsterdam as we know it. Today the mayor of Amsterdam made it pretty clear he's strongly against this idea. Go Eberhard! (Dutch link). If it helps, I don't know. But anyway, not necessary to completely freak out yet. Besides a large opposition, it will also take a lot of time to realise such a plan. My hope is: I can't believe this government will be in office for the whole 4 years, so with some luck they will simply not have enough time to finish the job.

Request: First joint or bowl you smoke, please dedicate it to Amsterdam. The city needs it... Thanks.

Quote of the Day

"Smoking's a way to let you down slowly from a ballgame. It also makes you use less of the resources around. It makes people better in the way they act towards society. Everybody's nicer. It's hard to be mean when you're stoned."
- Bill Lee (Montreal Expos, Boston Red Sox)
