Should Holland ban cannatourism ?!
Tourists no longer welcome in cannabis-selling coffee shops… (anyway !!)
Tourists are no longer welcome in Dutch coffee shops now !!
No more Dutch walks, evenings spent smoking in coffee shops.
“In a letter to the Dutch media, three prominent members of the government state that they wish to keep the coffee shop system but reserve it for members only, so that they stop attracting narcotourists.” (Rue89)
According to this same source, exported cannabis would bring in 2 billion euros each year. In ten years of decriminalization on French soil, this would make up for the lack of safety (..).
What would happen if one day, the Netherlands made the sale of cannabis exclusive to these inhabitants? Who would become the new “supplier” of our country, large consumer of cannabis.
80% of European Cannabis is Dutch. In addition, thanks to the measures taken by Western countries against Morocco, Colombia, Afghanistan and other countries manufacturing all kinds of drugs, I find it hard to see how to meet the growing demand in Europe. . For two years, France has had a third more smokers. The largest increase ever observed!
So are we going towards a shortage of Cannabis in Europe ?!
Not sure, because when there is money at stake, governments always find solutions. The war against cocaine did take place, but only dislocated the networks. And then, our economies only stand up thanks to the three main trade sectors that are arms, alcohol and drugs.
Wouldn't removing cannabis from the streets have a perverse effect on the consumer, who would ultimately turn to narcotics that are more dangerous but much more available ?!
And then, our governments will they finally stop being great moralizers blind to the growing number of consumers in Europe, only to find that cannabis is gathering fewer and fewer consumers in the Netherlands.
In any case, France, the god of cannabis repression, has still not chosen to control rather than prohibit by hiding its eyes.
Even Italy has already understood.
