Tolerated coffeeshop sales and a controlled supply experiment

Coffeeshop sales operate under a tolerance policy, not full national legalization. Ten municipalities participate in a government experiment with regulated production, distribution, and coffeeshop sale.

The purchase rule

What consumers need to know

Local coffeeshop rules apply. Outside the experiment, cultivation and wholesale supply remain illegal even where coffeeshop sales are tolerated.
