I never understood why it is exactly that The Netherlands were kind of against the drug tourism. It's a subset of the problem of overtourism in general. I mean, I'm sure your average pot head tourist is not that much trouble and leaves quite a bit of money, no? Actually they don't, and that's precisely the problem. They come over on EasyJet, check into a shitty hostel, score some weed, buy a shawarma (and maybe some fries), oggle the working professionals in the red light district for a bit, and then leave a few days later. This is a stereotype of course and not 100 percent true -- but it also probably intersects about 60 percent with the spending profile of the average weed tourist. On average not usually the type to visit anything other than the most obvious tourist destinations, or patronize any of the better restaurants, or avail themselves to any of the amazingly cool stuff that city has to offer.
