Legal Framework

The legal foundation for coffeeshops in Netherlands is the tolerance policy (gedoogbeleid). No residency required — tourists with a valid ID (18+) are welcome at all Amsterdam coffeeshops.

Walk up to the counter, show your ID, and purchase up to five grams per visit — no membership or advance registration needed. Members can access up to five grams per purchase of weed, hash, pre-rolls, and edibles. According to the Trimbos Institute, the Netherlands has maintained one of Europe's most studied and stable drug policy frameworks since the tolerance model was introduced, with coffeeshops consistently operating as an effective harm-reduction alternative to street-market supply.
