The nicest coffeeshops of Amsterdam have to close on January 1st 2017, due to ridiculous legislation. We demand an immediate end to the so called 'school benchmark' that serves no other goal but to put an end to the Amsterdam marihuana culture altogether.
We are weed lovers and proud of it. We know the coffeeshops that are at stake and want to save them.
While in the USA marijuana is now successfully legalized in key states and decriminalized in most others, the Cannabis Capital of the world turns the other way. Amsterdam is rooting out its most famous coffeeshops, the reasons why get more and more ridiculous. On January 1st 2017 all the shops within 250 meters of ANY educational building have to close. In crowded Amsterdam this means a crackdown on the most traditional weed dispensaries.
Mellow Yellow, Biba, De Graal, High Time, Lucifera, Space Mountain, De Kroon and Today will shut down next if you do not sign this petition. Please help us stopping the war on weed and save the Amsterdam Coffeeshop Culture.
