So far, I have always taken it for granted that laws of a given country would apply to everyone who is currently in the country, be it citizens, permanent residents or visitors. If different or special laws were in place for a certain group of people, I would consider it discrimination.

I am not referring to illegal immigrants looking for work.

Foreign visitors to the Netherlands will be banned from the famous coffee shops where cannabis is sold. One of the reasons is pressure from other European governments opposing the idea of citizens of their countries traveling to the Netherlands to buy pot.

It doesn’t matter what your view on cannabis is. That is immaterial here. I don’t think that any government in the world should be able to directly or indirectly enforce laws of its country beyond its borders. As long as coffee shops are legal in the Netherlands, they should be open to every adult person, resident or visitor. I think this new Dutch law might not stand in court.
