Is It Really the End of Cannabis Tourism in Amsterdam?

The place where tourists used to visit not just for their historic and charming canal-lined streets and stroopwafel but the famous “coffee shops” where one could smoke or order cannabis in various forms will no longer be able to enjoy these high delights once travel resumes. Amsterdam’s Mayor Femke Halsema has recommended a new law that would prohibit tourists from being able to visit any of their 166 coffee shops. Halsema, in a letter dated January 8, wrote to councilors suggesting new “resident criterion” which would allow only locals to access the coffee shops in order to better manage tourism while controlling the supply chain in coffee shops.
