You don’t actually need to cancel your trip to Amsterdam (if you’re one of the few that can still afford to travel); just don’t go thinking there’ll be cannabis-filled brownies at every turn. The city of Amsterdam is closing down 43 “coffee” shops [1] that currently operate near schools with kids older than twelve — by order of the Dutch government. Have no fear though — 185 shops will remain open. Plus, now you’ll have more time for the Van Gogh Museum [2] and the fabulous photography exhibits at Foam_Fotografiemuseum Amsterdam [3]. This may well make the journey a little more interesting for Americans who’ll now be forced to walk a tad farther to find what they are looking for.
