The Dutch government wants to maintain its tolerant policy towards cannabis and keep so-called coffee shops open, but they should no longer be tourist attractions, Dutch ministers wrote in a letter that was leaked to the press on Tuesday.

Are you for real?
Seems entirely reasonable, they should be boring not a tourist attraction.
Restuarabts and bars are ok as tourist attractions but not coffee shops ...mmm.
Myself ...I think cannabis should be celebrated and set free.
If we are going to have an adult relationship with intoxicants then travelling just so you can get really stonned isnt exactly my view of how we get there. I can totally understand why the Dutch dont want lots of people just going there to smoke lots.
It's the same people who ruin weekends around England.
Lock them up ...it's dead simple.
Heavy stonners are far less of a problem than heavy drinkers.
Whenever I've been there there are Americans Germans Russians English etc etc ....that enjoy being a cannabis tourist and the shops welcome their pressence and their money ...and it is almost all trouble free.
The biggest problem I see there out of all the people ...are English yobs.
Little inteligence no awarness no manners not a fucking clue how to behave at home let alone in someone elses country.
Dude, I've not done any drugs so how am I supposed to know? I didn't know that there was a connection between coffee houses and weed.
only in amsterdam, not over here i think you may just have heard about it on the news if starbucks and cafe nero in your local town were serving cappacinos with a spliff on the side
