Brits to be banned from Amsterdam's cannabis coffee shops post-Brexit via TheGrowthOp
British nationals are set to be banned from Amsterdam’s cannabis cafés when Brexit is complete, according to city officials.
Europeans are permitted to purchase small quantities of cannabis at coffee shops in the Dutch city thanks to the EU’s freedom of movement laws. But now that Britain is leaving the EU that privilege is about to go up in smoke. “When British nationals are no longer European, they will not be able to use coffee shops,” city council spokesperson Bas’t Aard told DutchNews. “We will roll up a massive cross-media campaign to make them aware of the fact as soon as Brexit happens.”“On the face of it, they would appear to have a prima facie case under Article 2 of Protocol no.
How the new guidelines will be enforced is yet unknown. Experts say punitive fines are a possibility for Brits who flout the rules and opt to pass that black market Dutch instead of purchasing from a regulated source.“The EU is considering placing portable urinals alongside passport queues so that Brits can be drug tested on entry and exit,’ according to EU senior drug policy researcher Mary Jaine.
