All coffeeshops operate under the Netherlands' tolerance policy (gedoogbeleid).

Key operational rules include an a number determined by the municipal license-member ceiling per club, a minimum membership age of 18, distribution limits of five grams per purchase per visit and no formal monthly limit under gedoogbeleid per month, and a mandatory set by municipality (typically 250m from schools) setback from schools and youth-oriented facilities. Membership typically costs around no membership fee — walk-in access with valid ID and covers cultivation, laboratory testing, packaging, and the administrative costs of compliance. Since smoking inside the coffeeshop is permitted — no alcohol served, only cannabis products and soft drinks, coffeeshops function as regulated dispensaries rather than social lounges.

The tolerance policy established a structured framework that includes coffeeshops for collective access, private personal cultivation of five plants (tolerated, not legalised) for personal supply, and strict consumer protections to ensure safety.
