The Hague Cannabis Laws

Once again, the cannabis laws in The Hague are quite, let’s say, vague!

Cannabis remains illegal in The Hague. However, a small amount meant for personal use (around 5 grams only) is still tolerated. That being said, smoking it in public is illegal and can result in an arrest as well.

There are several ‘coffee shops’ here, which are not coffee shops at all. Here, you can buy pre-rolled joints, or merely a few grams of cannabis and roll your own. Enjoy it within the shop, or simply take it back home.

Growing and distributing cannabis is entirely illegal, and can result in severe punishment, so be careful.

Another exciting thing is that all coffee shops which are located close to schools (250 meters) have been banned!

Law Enforcement

Although many people might think that The Hague has a very relaxed attitude towards absolutely anything to do with cannabis, this is simply not true. While other countries are relaxing their laws around cannabis, Netherlands is becoming stricter.

You absolutely cannot smoke cannabis in public- the cops will catch you and fine you or even arrest you for it.

As for possession, you can have about 5 grams on you, but anymore, and once again, the cops will decide what to do with you.

As for the coffee shops, you can only buy around 5 grams of cannabis at a time, so keep that in mind.
