The Dutch cannabis sector: between legalizaty and tolerance

Although cannabis is formally illegal in the Netherlands, the country is famous for its unique tolerance policy, allowing coffeeshops to sell marijuana under certain conditions. This specific situation has created a cannabis culture that attracts millions of tourists to Amsterdam every year.

Amsterdam is witnessing an increase in cannabis tourism , prompting the city to take steps to reduce its negative effects. At the same time, the Netherlands is experimenting with the legal sale of cannabis as part of a pilot program, which may herald changes in the future.

The popularity of Amsterdam’s coffeeshops prompted the municipality to launch a campaign to discourage young tourists from wild parties, which often end in noise and bad behavior, and to ban smoking cannabis in the Red Light District .
