Guess what! Technically sales of weed are already illegal (always has been), it is merely tolerated to a degree.
“Possession of small quantities and the consumption at home or in so-called coffeeshops (by persons over 18 years of age) are decriminalized and tolerated; only smoking in public is often punished with a fine, or a warning in case of first time offenders.
The sale of cannabis is technically a crime, but coffeeshop owners are not prosecuted as long as none of the following guidelines is violated: No other drugs than marijuana and hashish may be sold, only 5 grams may be sold to each person (in a single transaction), cannabis products may not be advertised in public or visible to passers-by outside the shop, the shop must not become a disturbance to the neighbourhood, no drugs are to be sold to minors and minors are not allowed to linger inside the coffeeshop.
Still illegal and actively prosecuted are the cultivation, import or sale of large amounts of cannabis, i.e. the whole supply industry behind coffeeshops” – Wikipedia
The only change (that I know of) in the close future is the introduction of the smoking ban (for all smoke in workplaces, now including cafes, bars, coffee shops etc). In order to permit smoking indoors they will have to create a seperate area to smoke in which the staff are not located.
…. so I think I dispelled a myth about the sales being legal then!
