An opinion of the Advocate General was proposing this view to the European judges on 15 July.
Discrimination between consumers of haschich/pot/... would become for the first time lawful in Holland (i.e. in Europe).
All of this, of course, to fight against "drug tourism"'s disorders and illicit trade in narcotics "in the EU" (read "in the Netherlands"); the prohibition however- under due rules of economy- will make prices stiffer, products more desirable and illicit traffic's frequency in Europe higher. One might call that a counterproductive effect.
Next step: Amsterdam's lights closed to non-Netherland citizens?
To be continued.
