I live in Holland, so this is quite easy to answer: Yes they can get arrested! But in The Netherlands we have a (in fact crazy) rule that's actually not translatable into English. The rule is named "gedogen" which is a Dutch word that means to permit an activity or behavior that is usually illegal, so some criminal behavior like prostitution and soft-drug use is easier to control. So in fact it's not legal, but they will allow you to buy and use (not the selling of it!) soft drugs,up to a maximum of 5 grams. Please note: You can be arrested, but they won't arrest you. This only counts for soft drugs.
