For this week the article I choose is called “Amsterdam Tourist Cannabis Ban Rejected by Mayor” by BBC News Europe on November 1st, 2012. This article discusses the reasons why the Mayor Eberhard van der Laan is against banning tourist from being able buy and use cannabis. Also local café owners are behind the Mayor’s support.
The new government of the Netherlands has proposed the idea of banning tourist from using the cannabis in Amsterdam. Many locals are extremely against this law of banning the use to tourist, especially the café owners that make almost 90% of their income from selling marijuana to tourist. Not to forget to mention there is about 700 coffee shops selling cannabis in the Netherlands. It’s obvious that Amsterdam heavily relies on tourism. Each year, there is an estimated 1.5 million tourists visiting Amsterdam to consume cannabis. The Mayor of Amsterdam Van der Laan has long opposed this ban, he stated “The 1.5 million tourists will not say “then no more marijuana”, and they will swarm all over the city looking for drugs. This will lead to more robberies, quarrels about fake drugs, and no control of the quality of drugs on the market”. Mayor Van der Laan
