They brought in restrictions last year here in Maastricht, and frankly I never saw any issues before. Only change is a bunch oif coffeeshops going out of business through either less trade or closing out of principled opposition.

Not an issue that I hugely care about, but I haven't seen a massive downside to the way the Dutch do it, aside from Amsterdam being pretty unbearable on busy tourist days.

Whereabouts did you live, jim?
