Police shut the doors to Britain’s increasingly popular Amsterdam-style marijuana coffee shop in a 20-man raid this afternoon, the Manchester Evening News reported. The bust came less than 24 hours after the UK’s leading advisers on drugs announced that they will recommend Parliament legalize marijuana and regulate its sale through licensed, Dutch-style coffee shops.
Dutch Experience café co-owner Colin Davies and approximately 15 customers were taken in for questioning, the News reported. Today’s bust marks the third time that local police have closed the café since its September 15 opening.
