Maybe having realised that about 90% of the business for Amsterdam’s cannabis cafes comes from the soon-to-be-banned foreign visitors, the mayor of Amsterdam has decreed that the ban that was going to come into effect at the behest of the last government will  now not apply. This has been made possible by the new government deciding that the ban is to be optionally applied by local authorities.

Just out of shot: Very pale tourists with red eyes, desperately seeking a kebab, as the whole world melts around them.

There followed some old blather  about tourists getting drugs anyway, and blah blah was quoted but, hey,  whatever.

Now it looks like it will be business as usual: Lots of tourists stumbling around with eyes like peeled tomatoes, desperately looking for something to eat, then going white and blowing chunks.

Local sex workers are also reported to be delighted at the news.

Since the forthcoming ban was announced, they’ve lived in fear of  having to cope with customers who could actually get and maintain a stiffy, but now it looks like it’s to be the usual state of affairs: boggle-eyed monsters with wobbly willies, who give up after 1 minute, and shamble off apologetically to find a kebab.

Pipe and a pancake?
