This is the translation of a letter sent to the coffeeshop unions in the Netherlands, I am proud to translate this good news....
Dear folks,
The big news today is that the new Tolerance Policy will become active from July 1, 2011, and will be valid until June 30 2015(!). The AHOJG criteria are already avaiable onwww.openbaarministerie.nl The good news is not much is going to change.
The most important conclusion is that the AHOJG crtieria have not been complemented with the Weedpass and the Distance Criteria. Nothing changes in this area.
The announced additions will not be part of the national regulations for coffeeshops.
This means that all the evil measurements from The Hague, including weedpass and distance criteria, can only be implemented on a local level. This means the weedpass and the distance criteria will probably not make it in Amsterdam. These announced measurements, that would lead to a coffeeshop wipe-out in Amsterdam, can only be implemented through local legislation by the City Council.
The City Council already spoke out against the weedpass and the distance criteria, like the Mayor, who will be held to execute and maintain the new Tolerance rulebook. This is also included in the Opiumlaw art. 31b.
Especially the long term of the new Tolerance regulations stands out, 4 years going! This is a first, and appears to be a signal that The Hague decided that de introduction of the weedpass and the new distance criteria and everything else Justice Minister Opstelten comes up with is to be decided on by individual City Councils. The City Council has toe execute or deny new measurements. The Mayor has to uphold the rules in the end.
This means in Amsterdam there will be no mayor changes.
The 5 plant rule stays intact.
I salute you, MR. Maurice Veldman,
Legal rep. for the BCD and THC.

Does Holland have anything that other european countries don't have? I mean.. I've already seen alot of windmills. Besides, staring at windmills is no fun unless you're high.
i wonder how many jobs will be lost. sure the coffee shops probably don't employ all that many people, but the people who go to amsterdam to smoke weed are probably motivated enough potheads to see the sights and shit. i mean, when i was smoking pot i wouldn't take all the time and energy to go there too smoke weed considering you don't really get fucked with much in the states unless you're selling it.
but ya, have fun with all the money you lose guys!

Crap, i had plans to visit Amsterdam this summer.
First they ban shrooms and now they want to stop selling weed to tourists?
