Identification

Why must I always show an ID to be allowed in?

The government has strict enforcement rules, including the minimum age of 18. That's why we have a mandatory ID policy for everyone. This means that everyone must always show a valid ID at all times. Yes, even if you are much older than 18.

How can I access the coffeeshops of The Grass Company?

If you are 18 or older and live in the Netherlands, you are welcome to visit us. Please bring a valid ID, as without it, you will not be able to enter.

I have an OV chip card. Can I use it as a valid proof of identity?

Unfortunately not. We adhere to the rules and only accept official government documents as proof of identity.

So, what are official government documents?

Official government documents are a passport, a legal identity card, a driver's license, a residence permit, a temporary identification card (W document) or a Privileged Person's Identity Document.

No. We are very strict about that. Anyone wanting to enter one of our shops must be 18 or older.

General questions

What exactly is a coffeeshop?

In the Netherlands, it is known as a business that sells cannabis. Often combined with a catering function, these are the only stablishments in the Netherlands that are legally allowed to sell cannabis under strict conditions.

Is cannabis legal in the Netherlands?

No, according to the law, cannabis is still illegal in the Netherlands. But the Netherlands has a so-called tolerance policy. The Dutch government decided in the 1970s to allow the selling of limited quantities of cannabis to consumers. This policy must comply with strict rules.

What should I do if I don't feel well after smoking a joint?

First of all, always make sure you are never alone. Sit down, stay calm, and consume sugars and vitamin C. A fresh orange juice with a few scoops of sugar works wonders. Gresh air can also help. Cannabis is an emotional enhancer. So try to recover calmly, and things will turn out fine.
