NOpe coffeeshops are not closed to public in dam... they are planning on doing that in the Limburg region because of all the towns that border belgium.. French, germans and belgians go to those border towns just to pick up bud and go home.. and their governments are putting pressure on the dutch to do something about it.. so they will only allow members to enter these coffeshops (in limburg only) starting in 2010, but then again nothing is for sure... For now U can still go to any coffeeshop in the netherlands that you want... They might just take a print of your I.d or drivers liscence.. but that is destroyed after 24 hours!!!

But im happier with the bud i grow at home.. than with most of the stuff in dam... With prices that high u cant get around to smoking enough...
