Is weed still legal for tourists in Amsterdam?
I have heard it's not legal starting from 2013. I also heard they postponed applying this?
So what's the deal? Allowed or not?
Best Answer
The law making it illegal, for foreigners, DID come in, and still stands.
However, due to all the controversy, it's changed now and is up to each city to decide how to apply it.
As a result, "coffee shops are OPEN in Amsterdam".
For a great read on the reasons behind the law, the effect, and the changes to the tourism industry as a result, have a read of Haze clears over Dutch cannabis law.
Other news articles as well indicate that:
The mayor of Amsterdam has made it clear that tourists there would still be granted access.
