The rules

Key rules in the Netherlands

Plain-language summary. The regulator is Municipalities (mayors); experiment run by the national government, product quality supervised by NVWA.

Possession
Up to 5 g is not prosecuted (tolerated, not legal).
Home grow
Up to 5 plants per person is not prosecuted.
Purchase limit
Coffeeshops may sell at most 5 g per person per transaction.
Minimum age
18; no minors on the premises.
Residents criterion
National rule since 1 January 2013, enforced locally; strict in Maastricht and mandatory in experiment municipalities on the Belgian or German border.
Public use
No national ban, but municipalities can prohibit it — e.g. Amsterdam's Wallen since 25 May 2023 (€100 fine after a warning).
Supply
Outside the trial, cultivation and supply to coffeeshops remain illegal; in 10 trial municipalities shops sell only regulated cannabis since 7 April 2025.
Advertising
Coffeeshops may not advertise drugs.

Summary, not legal advice — rules change; check local law. Last reviewed Sep 2026.

How it works

How cannabis is sold in Nijmegen

Start at Vlaamsegas, a short street in the old centre, because that is where the single Nijmegen coffeeshop on our register trades.

Where	Shop	What the register records
Vlaamsegas 30	Coffeeshop Kronkel	Trading since 1986, with bar, kitchen and roof terrace; open 09:00 to 01:00; Verdex score 8.5

What changed on the counter

The city's own experiment page dates the steps: an introduction phase from 17 June 2024, the full experiment phase from 7 April 2025, and enforcement on regulated hash from 1 September 2025. Growers deliver in track-and-trace transport, and the food safety authority NVWA checks the product. A shop that has traded since 1986 therefore now stocks nothing it bought on the old grey supply line.

One row is not the city. The register carries only what we could match, and Nijmegen may have more licensed shops than we list. Check the municipality before you assume the count. Prices and strains move faster than any guide, so our first-results piece is the better place for those, and the Gelderland page places Nijmegen next to Arnhem, the other trial town in the province.
