A coffeeshop — also referred to as a cannabis café or smoking lounge — is a membership-based licensed coffeeshop where adults aged 18 and older can legally access weed, hash, pre-rolls, and edibles in a controlled environment. Members typically pay a fee of around no membership fee — walk-in access with valid ID, which covers cultivation, testing, distribution, and administrative costs. Each coffeeshop in Netherlands must comply with the gedoogbeleid, which sets strict limits: a per-visit maximum of five grams per purchase and a monthly cap of no formal monthly limit under gedoogbeleid per member. Clubs must also respect the set by municipality (typically 250m from schools) distance requirement from schools and youth facilities, ensuring community safety.
