Amsterdam 26. Wide of people seated on terrace on bridge overlooking canal STORYLINE: Amsterdam's famed marijuana bars have weathered many challenges over the years and are still smoking, blanketed in reggae music and a smokey haze, but now they are facing an unwelcome breath of fresh air - a smoking ban. On July 1, the Netherlands will be one of the last European countries to comply with European Union law and outlaw smoking in bars and restaurants. The Health Ministry has made it clear the ban will apply to cafes that sell marijuana, known as coffee shops. But this being Holland, which for centuries has experimented with social liberalism, there's a major loophole: the ban covers tobacco but not marijuana, which is technically illegal anyway. However, that still leaves coffee shops and their customers with a problem. Dutch and other European marijuana users traditionally smoke marijuana in fat cone-shaped joints mixed with tobacco. But most are just planning to increase their sales of hash brownies and pure weed and hoping the law isn't enforced.
