Dear Roadburn visitor,
We are looking forward to welcome you next week at this year's Roadburn Festival. We are making the final preparations for what will be a great edition of Roadburn. Tilburg is getting ready: flags are hung up throughout the city, the routing to the different places and venues are being made as we speak, and some extra beer has been stocked and chilled.
One thing, however, has changed in Tilburg. The soft drugs policy, which was already a bit confusing (hash and weed are neither legal nor illegal; they are tolerated in small quantities for personal use), remains the same in Holland. However, to further complicate things a few cities, including Tilburg, have introduced a new rule; you must be a Dutch resident in order to be able to buy weed or hash. So it’s still OK if you have a small amount of either one on you, or when you smoke some, but unless you have a Dutch ID card you won’t be able to buy it (yourself) in the koffieshops/ coffeeshops.
So as the nice, polite, law-abiding and decent people we are, we wouldn’t recommend that you stock up on these things in other cities like Utrecht, Amsterdam, Den Bosch or Arnhem that you might be traveling through (coffeeshops in these cities still sell to anyone). Neither would we suggest that you make some Dutch friends at Roadburn who can perhaps provide you with the aformentioned substances. But remember, this is Holland, so in the end there will never be a problem even if you're caught by the police (who are not keen on going after small sellers).
Having said that; see you next week, have a good trip!
Walter on behalf of Jurgen, Yvonne, Roadburn and the 013 venue
