High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Coffeeshops are establishments in the Netherlands where the sale of cannabis for personal consumption by the public is tolerated by the local authorities (in Dutch called gedoogbeleid). Under the drug policy of the Netherlands, the sale of cannabis products in small quantities is allowed by 'licensed' coffee shops. The majority of these "coffeeshops" also serve drinks and food. It is not allowed for a coffeeshop to serve alcohol (although in the past some coffeeshops in central Amsterdam have transgressed this law without reproach) or other drugs (a policy that is universally adhered to). The idea of coffeeshops was introduced in the 1970s for the explicit purpose of keeping hard and soft drugs separated. In the Netherlands, 105 of the 443 municipalities have at least one coffeeshop. Many at the borders sell mostly to foreigners (mostly from Belgium, Germany and France), who can also buy marijuana in their own countries, but prefer the legality and higher product quality of Dutch coffeeshops.
