Dutch coffee shops say cannabis smoke here to stay

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Could a smoking ban spell the end of Amsterdam's world famous coffee shops, where smoking cannabis is one of the main attractions?

No chance, says local conservative politician and coffee shop owner Michael Veling.

The Dutch may well follow other European countries in banning tobacco smoking in restaurants, cafes and bars, but Veling says it should still be possible to smoke dope.

"It is ridiculous to think that a smoking ban would be the end of coffee shops," the 50-year-old Veling says.

4. Amsterdam IS amazing

Whether or not you're into dope, just being in a city where adults can get high in an adult way,
without hurting each other, is a trip!

6. I need new glasses

or maybe a new brain. I read that as cannibals. I will never be able to explain the strange images that ran through my head at that.
