In addition, Plasman doesn\u2019t think that a levy from the taxing authorities will be a deterrent for Amsterdam drug dealers. And, unlike with hemp growers, it is difficult to prove how much a street dealer has earned. &#8220;Street dealers are often just runners who give their money directly to the people responsible for the trade. The only way to prove how much such a person earns is to follow him intensively, then you have just one person, which isn\u2019t a realistic option.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15708 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Amsterdam-Drug-Dealers-Coke.jpg\" alt=\"Amsterdam drug dealers coke sellers\" width=\"800\" height=\"441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Amsterdam-Drug-Dealers-Coke.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Amsterdam-Drug-Dealers-Coke-300x165.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Amsterdam-Drug-Dealers-Coke-768x423.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><em>This might look like cocaine but it&#8217;s actually baking flour.\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"No_More_Party_Tourists\"><\/span>No More Party Tourists<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Despite all the criticism, Boomsma wants to have a good look at his plan.
