Economic Affairs Minister Maxime Verhagen, said weed containing more than 15 percent THC, is so much stronger than what was common a generation ago that it should be considered a different drug. This decision means that most of the herb currently sold in Amsterdam’s coffee shops will have to be replaced by less potent weed. And, that people will have to smoke more of it.
Almost as impossible to enforce would be Holland’s attempt to prohibit foreign tourists from buying and smoking weed in its coffee shops. About this time last year the newly elected, very conservative, Dutch government floated a proposal to limit the sale of weed to only residents in order to curtail alleged crime surrounding the sale and production of weed. A few Dutch border towns like Maastricht and Terneuzen agreed to restrict to the ban, but so far that’s all that’s happened. And, according to High Times the issue can’t be revisited until 2014.
Anyhow, the Dutch Cabinet has not said when it will begin enforcing this new “high-potency” herb rule.
