Ok, before I present evidence that it is not "Perfectly legal", what would you propose to back up your statement.
Upto April 2015 the police and authorities openly turned a blind eye to amounts under 5g on condition that the officer was satisfied it was for personal consumption, but that anything over this amount, being carried in a public place, was not ignored, and quite heavily penalised. That said, in recent months (Feb / Mar 2016) skunk and other forms of higher THC concentrations (15% or more) have no longer been overlooked but are more activly sought out and those in possession or supply penalised.
That said it has alwasy been the law, and enforced that anyone carrying any amount, in public places, that do not hold Dutch nationality, or citizenship (duel nationailities are excluded also) have never had their possession overlooked either officially or unofficially, and if anything the penalties for these non-national who are seen to enter the country for the purposes of exploiting the relaxed enforecement of the use of recreational substances carry some of the highest penalites within the Dutch judicial system.
The finla nail in the coffin is that The Netherlands have agreed with the International Narcotics Council's report that they are intentionally adding to the international drugs trade bu having turned this blind eye, and that they are taking steps to actively close this loophole as evidenced by the closure of 2/3 of coffee shops, the revocation of additional premises and the refusal of new operating licences to be granted to people or company's that have previously ben involve with the running of such establishments.
On the other hand, you can still fulfill some of your deepest, darkest desires in other ways, "Perfectly Legally", and without the interaction of any politics, correct or otherwise, but you won't have got this far.
