Maximum personal possession is 5 (five ) grams not 30.
This is not a maybe or has to be, it is, for sure.

Go ahead carry 30g's however an authority on the issue says this...

5 grams and many shops are very strict about it. I have seen people showing bigger stashes to their friends asked to leave coffeeshops to keep them out of trouble.

I know you can only buy 5g but were talkin about how much you can get caught with legally. p.s. I have no intention in carrying anywhere near that amount.

So, in that case a kindly officer of the law could do you over if you had 0.1 of a gram? Also, where has this figure of 30 grams come from?

I also found the 30 gram curious... to clarify, 5 grams or less is not prosecuted. if you are caught with 30 grams or less, it is a minor offense.

http://www.minbuza.nl/binaries/en-pdf/f ... 008-en.pdf
Possession of cannabis for personal use (up to 30 grams) is a minor offence. One of the aims is to separate the markets for hard drugs and cannabis (which is sold subject to strict conditions in coffee shops (see C1)).
• Although it is a statutory offence,

Coffee shops may sell 5 grams of cannabis, under strict conditions (see B3), without facing prosecution and no legal action is taken for possession of small quantities of drugs for personal use (see B10). It is an offence to:
• produce
• possess
• sell
• import or export
either hard drugs or cannabis.

Most coffeeshops' "backdoors" would be VERY busy if nobody carried more than 5 grams.....
