First the Netherlands are a much smaller country compared to Germany in both size and inhabitants.
Second the Netherlands only decriminalized possession of weed for personal use, which is different from legalisation. Afaik you can buy weed at the coffee shop without arrest but the shops have to literally buy it from the black market.
