What to know before going to a Dutch coffeeshop
Going to a Dutch coffeeshop is nothing like the shady, scary experiences cannabis lovers have to face in the countries where weed is criminalised.
Rather, buying weed in the Netherlands can be as easy and relaxing as buying a pint of beer — but you do need to have some basic information.

The legal status of weed in the Netherlands
One common misconception about the Netherlands is that smoking weed is legal — but that’s not entirely true.
READ MORE | 5 myths about weed in the Netherlands
Instead, cannabis in the Netherlands is decriminalised, meaning that while possessing, smoking, and producing weed is illegal, the government has a tolerance policy (gedoogbeleid) for small-scale, personal use.
While some Dutch cities restrict cannabis to residents, that’s not the case in The Hague, and tourists are allowed to smoke as well.
But where can you smoke, you ask? There are some restrictions to keep in mind:
You can smoke in:
✅ Coffeeshops: Most licensed coffeeshops allow you to smoke inside, but some may have restrictions (e.g., no tobacco inside due to smoking laws).
✅ Private property: You can smoke at home or in a private space if the owner allows it.
✅ Some outdoor areas: Some cities tolerate discreet smoking in parks or quiet public spaces.
You cannot smoke in:
❌ Outdoor places with bans: Many cities, like Amsterdam, have banned smoking weed in certain public areas, such as near schools, playgrounds, and city centres.
❌ Closed public places: Smoking is not allowed in places like bars, restaurants, or public transport.
❌ Hotels & Airbnb: Many accommodations have strict no-smoking policies, and these also apply to cannabis.
How to smoke weed safely in the Netherlands
No, this is not a step-by-step guide to lighting your joint and taking a puff (we trust you have that part figured out) — this is about making your experience fun and safe.
To have an enjoyable experience when smoking weed from a Den Haag coffeeshop, keep these points in mind:
- Stay hydrated: Always have some water on you to prevent dehydration.
- Have something sugary on hand: If you feel dizzy or lightheaded, something sweet can help regulate your blood sugar.
- Smoke in a safe environment: Smoke in a comfortable environment where you feel at ease, with people you trust.
- Know your limits: Start with a small amount and go slow.
- Don’t mix weed with alcohol: Combining the two substances can increase the risk of a bad trip.
How to order in a coffeeshop in Den Haag
If it’s your first time buying weed in the Hague, don’t be nervous: with the right information, ordering in a Den Haag coffeeshop will be a breeze — or a cloud of white sweet-smelling smoke. 😉
Make sure you have everything you need
Got a reasonably full stomach, water, sugary foods, a trusted friend, and enough internet and battery to navigate this beautiful Dutch city? Then you’re all set.
Don’t forget your ID
If you want to buy cannabis products at any coffeeshop in the Netherlands, you’ll need to show one thing: a form of identification.
Whether it’s your passport, ID, driver’s licence, or residence permit, you’ll need it to secure the goods.
Take your time reading the menu
Stepping into a coffeeshop can feel overwhelming, especially if it’s your first time. But remember: this is meant to be a relaxing experience.
So, take your sweet time to browse the menu and, if needed, ask all the questions you may have.
Don’t be shy, ask your budtender for advice
Not sure what you’re looking for (or even looking at)? Geen probleem, the professionals are here to help!
It’s important to know what you’re smoking and that it aligns with your expectations for your trip. Depending on your desired effect — energising or relaxing — Sativa or Indica may be best suited for you.
