"All these people are coming to my store to buy this famously delicious chocolate, well I'm only letting my family and friends have these chocolates from now on.
Hey, why have I suddenly lost so many customers?"
Oh yeah that doesn't make sense, sorry.
Man, I had a dream of one day enjoying a delicious cappuccino with a tasteful blunt over there. California is pretty lax if you guys are really into the cafe thing. Go get a bong and a stiff coffee and sit by the beach
Doesn't matter really. Weed's just weed. If you can't enjoy life without weed then you've got your priorities wrong. I know for sure that I got mine wrong and hence I have been sober for a year

That makes complete sense, it's not what I'm confused about

OH FUCK I just got it. I'm retarded carry on.
What the hell, Netherlands, not cool. Don't hog all the good shit, you fucker.
Right, time to become a drug dealer.
What is the idea of this annyway, drug crimes will go up tenfold.
And I have never ever heard of germans or our southern neigbours causing problems.
They are always saying they do but I have never seen them or seen any proof of them causing problems.
and then tourism declined to zero

It's pot, the only problems it causes are caused by the legislation put over it. Maybe a little cotton mouth too.
Thanks for the box, bro, I'll be sure to keep all my weed in it.

[QUOTE=Pierrewithahat;35741113]Get high and you'll see why people enjoy it.[/QUOTE]
It's almost as if Facepunchers can't enjoy life without having to resort to drugs

Nice generalization.
"They do drugs so they must be dependant on them."
Goobye good times,now we have to buy shitty streetweed :(

That's not what anyone is saying at all, but everyone keeps going "what's so great about being high?" when it's different for a lot of people, easiest way to see why people enjoy it is just to get high.

And you just completely misunderstood their posts.
[QUOTE=Antdawg;35741315]It's almost as if Facepunchers can't enjoy life without having to resort to drugs[/QUOTE]
I haven't smoked weed in 2 months and it was 6 months prior to that but okay.
[QUOTE=Antdawg;35741315]It's almost as if Facepunchers can't enjoy life without having to resort to drugs[/QUOTE]
Never been invited to any parties, eh?
Considering the amount of idiots in our current government, this doesn't come off as a surprise to me.
[QUOTE=_NewBee;35740962][b]Oh good, those weed tourists are annoying as hell.[/b]
I hope the stores won't lose too much profits now, though.[/QUOTE]
Pretty much this. I'm not Dutch but I understand why they'd do this. Having a load of dumb tourists coming over all YEAAAH 420 GONNA GET SO HIGH BOIIII must be pretty fucking annoying, and if I recall correctly there's been a lot of problems with weed tourists in the past.
If you're so desperate to smoke over there, just get a Dutch friend or something to score some for you.

But those weed tourists are a large percentage of the customers that buy from these shops. They were helping the economy and I honestly can't see how they're causing any problems besides being slightly annoying, but then again, I don't live there.
But yeah, it can't be any harder to get weed over there now than it is to get someone to buy alcohol for a minor over here. Piss easy.
It's because of some incidents happend.
Some of the more stupid people tend to go like what RearAdmiral said:"YEAAAH 420 GONNA GET SO HIGH BOIIII", and then drink alot alchohol....
That's not a good combination, but there are a lot off stupid people ofcourse.
This, and the traffic is horrible near the borders there.
Our government is just retarded anyway, just make it toll roads.
Not like we can't use any money now. :V
[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;35741216]and then tourism declined to zero[/QUOTE]
You're missing out so much if the only reason you go to the Netherlands is because of the drugs...
There goes our tourism.
Smart move.
itt: facepunch gets mad because cannabis cafes are off limits to tourists
if you go to the Netherlands just for that then you aren't welcome here.

I think most people are bothered by the fact that despite Amsterdam making a nice tidy sum of money off of stoners the government is adamant that it's not allowed, despite it doing just about nothing anywhere else and only harming Amsterdam.
I'm going to Amsterdam for my 18th in August, I'll be un-affected wont I due to it coming later on?

"All these people are coming to my store to buy this famously delicious chocolate, which they then sell in their own country, where it's illegal."
This is going to hurt the tourism, though.

Then again I don't give a fuck, I can still get it.

I always think that you're going to have a funny comment at the bottom of your post because of your long ass title.

Like anyone needs your welcomes. The only thing we need from you is weed. You can't get high on welcomes.
[QUOTE=Killer900;35740858]Why would they do this?
Can our Dutch users confirm such allegations?[/QUOTE]
|Not true as far as I know
[QUOTE]Coffee shop owners in the southern city of Maastricht have said they plan to disregard the new measures, forcing the government to prosecute one of them in a test case[/QUOTE]
I like how the cafes are just like "try me", I don't think any store in the us would have the balls to do that.
this is like us Brits getting rid of the queen
get it together man

Makes sense. If this passes, cafes could suffer from reduced profits. And that's not in their interest.
