Netherlands: EU Court Supports Maastricht’s Ban on Foreigners in “Coffee Shops”
By Larry Habegger | Permalink |Maastricht, a town near the borders of Belgium and Germany and not far from France, plans to ban foreigners from its marijuana cafes, better known as “coffee shops,” because of the daily influx of thousands of tourists looking to get high. Some 4,000 drug tourists cross the borders every day with more on weekends, composing about 70 percent of the coffee shops’ business. A lawsuit against the ban filed by a coffee shop owner went before the European Court of Justice, which opined in favor of the law. A Dutch court will make a final ruling by the end of the year.
