Under the gedoogbeleid, you may not exceed five grams per purchase in a single day or no formal monthly limit under gedoogbeleid in any given month — these caps apply to every member equally.

All club premises must be at least set by municipality (typically 250m from schools) from schools and youth centres, and smoking inside the coffeeshop is permitted — no alcohol served, only cannabis products and soft drinks without exception.
