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. Anyone below 18 is excluded from all participation, and distribution to minors is a serious criminal offence under the gedoogbeleid. Being responsible means knowing your products thoroughly — weed, hash, pre-rolls, and edibles differ in strength, onset time, and duration, and even experienced users can be caught off guard by unfamiliar strains. 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. Most cannabis cafés offer harm-reduction guidance and educational sessions that are valuable for all consumers, whether local members or visitors from nearby cities. ## Legal Framework The regulatory framework governing cannabis in Netherlands is among the most detailed and prescriptive anywhere in the world. Passed in 1976, it authorises the formation of cannabis cafés under strict, well-defined conditions.

Access is restricted to adults 18 and older, with five grams per purchase and no formal monthly limit under gedoogbeleid limits on dispensing of weed, hash, pre-rolls, and edibles. Clubs must maintain the set by municipality (typically 250m from schools) buffer, ensure smoking inside the coffeeshop is permitted — no alcohol served, only cannabis products and soft drinks, and submit all products for independent quality and safety testing. For personal use, citizens may personal cultivation five plants (tolerated, not legalised) and possess available at licensed seed shops, providing a self-sufficient alternative.

Alcohol is not permitted on the premises — only cannabis products and soft drinks are served.
