Via AP/The Huffington Post: "This country of canals and tulips is also famous for "coffee shops" where joints and cappuccinos share the menu. Now, the Netherlands' famed tolerance for drugs could be going up in smoke. A judge on Friday upheld a government plan to ban foreign tourists from buying marijuana by introducing a "weed pass" available only to Dutch citizens and permanent residents...".* Ana Kasparian and Ben Mankiewicz break it down on The Young Turks.

    Here's the armed lib from Holland again.

    Update: All coffeeshops in Amsterdam will cater pot to tourists. And the reason is very simple. Coffeeshops are more or less controlled enviroments were around 1.5 million tourists each year buy their shit. Denying those tourists access to coffeeshops will have a severe increase in streetdealing and other criminal related activities. The major of Amsterdam therefor has decided not to enforce this measure. Pot smoking Americans are more then welcome.
