Overview for 🇳🇱 Netherlands

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.

Full law guide for Nijmegen

Is cannabis legal in Nijmegen?

Buying cannabisToleratedGuidance from Netherlands

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.

Minimum age 18+

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

There is no national THC cap; coffeeshops are not a fully legalized retail market.
