Is cannabis legal in Netherlands?

Coffeeshops (tolerated)✓ Tourists can buy✕ Locals w/ prescription

The Netherlands uses a coffeeshop model: selling cannabis remains formally illegal but is officially tolerated when the rules are followed, and ten municipalities run a controlled-supply experiment. You must be 18+ with ID, and can buy up to 5 g per purchase/day. Tourist access depends on the municipality — Breda, Heerlen and Maastricht apply a residence criterion.

How to buy: Be 18+ with ID and buy up to 5 g per day at a coffeeshop; check the municipality, since some (Breda, Heerlen, Maastricht) require Dutch residence.
