Not heard anythign about the law changing but a lot of EU conutries are enacting smoking bans as of NYD so perhaps is linked?
If they cut the drugs laws though one would imagine tghey will be losign a shitload in tourist €€€s

I see the European Court doesn't mind a bit of discrimination when its aimed at middle class English people.

Never heard this, although I did hear the American government were going to make it so it was illegal for US citizens to use drugs in any country, whether it was legal there or not

Came back a week ago, same as always, don't think there will be any changes like that for a bit. Its half of Amsterdams' tourist industry for a start

Will just mean other types of tourists go. I dare say alot of people won't go because of the image they have of druggies.

Because they're stopping tourists from buying weed and 74% of tourists are European, which is a prominently white continent.
I just have a bee in my bonnet about people who talk about discrimination like its some kind of swear word then occasionally do it a bit sometimes.
