The concept behind a coffeeshop is straightforward: adults pool resources to collectively grow weed, hash, pre-rolls, and edibles under a legal, transparent framework established by the tolerance policy. The gedoogbeleid governs all coffeeshops in Netherlands, mandating non-profit status, strict oversight, and complete financial transparency. Key operational rules include an a number determined by the municipal license-member ceiling per club, a minimum membership age of 18, distribution limits of five grams per purchase per visit and no formal monthly limit under gedoogbeleid per month, and a mandatory set by municipality (typically 250m from schools) setback from schools and youth-oriented facilities. Fees of approximately no membership fee — walk-in access with valid ID cover the full seed-to-member pipeline, including quality assurance and regulatory paperwork.

Netherlands law mandates strict limits: five grams per purchase daily and no formal monthly limit under gedoogbeleid monthly, with absolutely no exceptions granted for any reason.

A mandatory set by municipality (typically 250m from schools) setback from educational institutions applies to all club premises, and violations result in immediate license revocation.
