Have you heard there's a conservative movement afoot in the Netherlands to ban the sale of cannabis and hashish to foreigners? Read all about it here:

Does this mean that foreigners will no longer be able to buy seeds at seed banks? And will the seed banks still mail seeds worldwide?

No I would expect this is more to try and prevent the "foreigners" smoking weed in coffee shops, or buying weed in shops to smoke in their hostels. I cant imagine it would affect seeds (they banned mushrooms the same way, but you can still by spores).

Also - note that they just say they want to ban it. Not that they have banned it.

That article is from July, and the government elected in JUNE over there has changed a bit since then anyway.


Quote:
Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende stepped down from his position in the CDA and resigned his parliamentary seat on the evening of the election, saying he was taking "political responsibility" for the unsatisfactory election results of his party and that "The voter has spoken, the outcome is clear."[10]

Expectations were that the formation of a new government would take some time.[11] Some international media speculated that "for the first time in this nation's history, a Jewish man, albeit a secular one, is on the verge of becoming the next prime minister ... Job Cohen, who was until recently the Mayor of Amsterdam, and represents the top of the ticket for the PvdA ... is at the end of a long battle to run the country that began in February when the PvdA backed out of the ruling coalition government because it did not want to send Dutch troops back to Afghanistan."[2] The international media also read this as a slim victory for the "austerity-minded" Liberals amidst the 2010 European sovereign debt crisis.[12]

On October 14, 2010 Mark Rutte was sworn in as prime minister




So all is not lost yet Very happy

They have been threatening to do this for years, I wouldn't worry.

They wont do it, the economy of the Netherdlands makes a lot off tourists, and cutting out something like marijuana will destroy the tourist industry there....it just wont happen.
