Coffeeshops à Hellevoetsluis

Buying cannabis from a licensed coffeeshop is formally still an offense, but under the Dutch 'gedoogbeleid' toleration policy it is not prosecuted when the rules are met (18+, valid ID, maximum 5g per purchase/day). Ten municipalities run a controlled-supply experiment.

• Âge minimum : 18 ans

Tolerated is not the same as legal: the sale remains a formal offense that is simply not enforced when conditions are met.
