The legal right to smoke cannabis in Netherlands comes with clear responsibilities that every user must understand and follow. The daily limit is five grams per purchase and the monthly cap is no formal monthly limit under gedoogbeleid — these are not guidelines but legally binding maximums enforced by every registered coffeeshop.

Operating vehicles or heavy equipment after smoking is both illegal and genuinely dangerous, regardless of your tolerance level. If you experience adverse effects, seek medical attention immediately and be honest with healthcare providers about what you have consumed.
