keep up the good fight guys, hope this stupid rule is not implemented. i mean every one in the coffee shop is there because they want to be, god damn where is the freedom of choice in all this? with the ventilation systems the smoke is sucked out and cleaned anyway, this is just one more rule to keep the coffee shops under pressure, imo.

until the fat lady sings!

I do not agree with the smoking ban put on my staff, nor will my staff.

My staff smokes joints, now, where do they go when they feel like one?

They will smoke in the sales area anyway, no minister can tell my staff not to smoke on the job, only I can.

I will check out legal stuff, my staff members should start a courtcase against Minister Klink, who seems to be discriminatiung them with this ban.

Colleagues, get your staff to court!

It's is time for a drinking ban in cafes, a fuck ban in the Red Light and a talking ban for dumbass ministers.

Nice one Nol, I'm glad you support your employes to that extent.

we all need to fight this unjust ban
it has wider implications than just the coffee shops
it will effect things like our 4:20 as the shop and venues will be under the smoking ban
we won't be able to sit in the shop and smoke the way we do now
even I won't be able to smoke in the shop legally once the ban is in effect

We have been told no music, but we have some acoustic acts coming and with a large crowd, who knows.

There is no action possible without your continuous help & support.

 

[Chamba]

but what about Teppanyaki?

The day went well. We had many people come by to show support. The only ones that didn't show up was the Amsterdam Cannabis community. Shame on them. When they ask "What happened?" I will say, "Where were you when we still had time?"

Wish I could have been there, it seems the spirit of protest has subsiuded in Dutch culture since the 60s and 70s, back then they would march and gather to protest about just about anything! lol

Lets hope folks wake up before its too late.

A new action this year. That is the schedule for the Cannabis College 10 year anniversary party. There is also a film festival and a Cannabis Tribunal the 1st and 2nd of December. More info at

Just an FYI for those in Amsterdam during the CC.

May 9th on the Museumsplein in Amsterdam this year (2009). Start making plans and ask how you can help. This will be the million man marijuana march date. So cities everywhere will be having cannabis protests.
