Membership starts at around no membership fee — walk-in access with valid ID, with a minimum age requirement of 18. Tourists are welcome — no membership or residency required, just valid ID (18+) Cannabis cafés are legally structured as not-for-profit organizations under the tolerance policy.

Members may obtain up to five grams per purchase per day and no formal monthly limit under gedoogbeleid per month, with all transactions recorded for regulatory compliance. Cultivation happens under strict rules: smoking inside the coffeeshop is permitted — no alcohol served, only cannabis products and soft drinks, and all facilities must maintain the set by municipality (typically 250m from schools) buffer zone from educational institutions. This approach puts health, safety, and community ahead of commercial gain, distinguishing coffeeshops from retail dispensaries. Membership fees, roughly no membership fee — walk-in access with valid ID, sustain operations transparently with full financial accountability. ## Nearby coffeeshops For anyone in Castricum Municipality Municipality looking to join a cannabis café, the practical solution is to look at neighbouring cities where clubs are already operating and accepting new members. **Limmen** currently has the nearest option and is well connected to Castricum Municipality Municipality for regular visits.

Regardless of how you obtain your weed, hash, pre-rolls, and edibles, responsible use is both a legal expectation and a personal commitment that protects you and your community. The gedoogbeleid sets clear boundaries: a maximum of five grams per purchase per day and no formal monthly limit under gedoogbeleid per month for club members. Dispensing caps are designed to encourage mindful smoking habits and were calibrated based on harm-reduction research. If you are new to cannabis, start with a low dose and increase gradually — effects can take time to build, so patience is important. Public smoking is prohibited throughout Netherlands, as is use near schools or anywhere within the set by municipality (typically 250m from schools) buffer zone. Driving under the influence is strictly prohibited and carries severe legal penalties including license suspension. Always keep weed, hash, pre-rolls, and edibles in a locked or secure location, clearly labelled and out of reach of minors and animals. ## Legal Framework Under the **gedoogbeleid**, Netherlands has established a regulated cannabis system that carefully balances personal access with public accountability. The core provisions are unambiguous: Each coffeeshop operates as a non-profit, accepting up to a number determined by the municipal license members who are at least 18 years old, with mandatory financial transparency. Product types are limited to weed, hash, pre-rolls, and edibles, with daily distribution not exceeding five grams per purchase and monthly caps strictly enforced at no formal monthly limit under gedoogbeleid. 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. Individuals may also personal cultivation five plants (tolerated, not legalised) at home with up to available at licensed seed shops, providing an alternative to club-sourced products. Sales to minors, advertising in any form, and international transport are all criminal offences carrying severe penalties. ### Regional Cannabis Policy — Castricum Municipality Municipality **Castricum Municipality** operates within the framework of the tolerance policy but maintains specific administrative approach to cannabis regulation at the regional level.
