Tourists that go to the Netherlands to sample more than its great art and culture could be disappointed next year as a ban on tourists going to cannabis cafes is being considered.

According to a BBC report, a judge in the Hague district court  is deciding on whether the proposed ban can go ahead.

The ban is being opposed by a group of coffee shop owners, who say it would be discriminatory, and by the Mayor of Amsterdam, where around a third of the city’s tourists visit to go to the cafes.

Under the proposal, Dutch residents will be allowed into the cafes if they have identification or a ‘weed pass’.
