Amsterdam bans magic truffles from tourist shops

Since the ban of magic mushrooms in the Netherlands in 2008, magic truffles have been getting more and more popular amongst locals but also tourists. Many smartshops have been selling them for years, but nowadays you are able to buy them in almost any tourist shop as well. This might be nice for tourists looking for a quick fix, but it is not such a good thing in general, as most of those shops don’t even realize what they are selling to their random customers.

It has been a strange year so far in the South of the Netherlands as by law the coffeeshops in some cities in the South of the Netherlands are not allowed to sell cannabis to people who are not registered as citizens of the Netherlands. But the local coffeeshop association decided to sell to tourists on Sunday as it was National Liberation Day and it seemed appropriate to not ban tourists from the shops.
Unfortunately the local government didn’t agree with the action and people got arrested in during a police raid in one of the local coffeeshops.
