Talk about a buzz kill.

Tourists looking to visit Amsterdam's infamous "coffee" shops where marijuana is openly sold may soon see their travel plans go up in smoke.

The Netherlands' new government has pledged to ban foreigners from being able to cop cannabis in the more than 200 shops licensed to peddle pot - which has long been a huge draw for toke-happy travelers to the liberal Dutch capital.
