Today, Mike’s coffeeshop received an official warning from the Mayor of Amsterdam. When the coffeeshop opened, people could win a meet-and-greet with Tyson, if they would spend at least 95 euro. In the Netherlands it is forbidden to encourage people to buy drugs. If the coffeeshop breaks the law again within the next three years, Mike’s coffeeshop will be closed by the mayor for at least a week.
