thats going to effect their tourism a lot.
They are also cracking down on coffee shops selling weed. Drug tourism is something they want to reduce.

Given that they sell hash by the skipfull, I doubt that their tourism industry will collapse.

Good, I went to Amsterdam a year back with friends. Some of the group decided to everywhere and see some of the city whereas other's just went to the cafe's all the time. Waste of money really if you ask me.
Depends what people are into i spose.
I think the cafes and bars are really relaxed, and a bit of a smoke and chill out with some friends is nice. Its not expensive to get there.
And hookers on a night are another bonus lol

It'll never work, they bound to make a hash of it. 
I don't personally think it's a bad thing at all.
I do however praise the Dutch attitudes on many modern concerns: they aren't always as problematic as they might seem and for the Dutch, they aren't concerns at all. This is because of their open minded and mature approach to several social talking points (not only drugs, I hasten to add).

They are not really "cracking down" as such - just closing some that are within a couple of hundred yards of secondary schools, which makes sense to me. I am a regular visitor to Amsterdam and it doesn't worry me one little bit

Ah, fair enough. Having done a bit of reading I see you are right. However, it does say that they are closing 20% of them in all.
I'd say the opposite.
It's extremely extremely low, but you will get the occasional person who makes utter douches out of themselves while tripping - falling off balconies and such. If I remember right, something like this happened which eventually led to the Dutch government voting in favor of a ban.
The actual physical damage is nonexistent, mushrooms and LSD are non-toxic and leaves no permanent damage. Those with psychological problems -will- be affected though.
