A cannabis social club functions as a registered association that cultivates cannabis flower and hashish strictly for its registered members, with no external sales permitted. In Germany, the KCanG requires every growers' association to operate as a non-profit, capping membership at 500 per club and mandating regular financial audits. Individuals must be at least 18 years old to join, and dual membership in multiple clubs is typically prohibited. Dispensing limits are set at 25 grams daily and 50 grams monthly per member. The Clubs must maintain 200 meters distance from schools and playgrounds. Distance requirement from educational institutions ensures community safety and responsible placement of facilities. On-site consumption is prohibited, including near entrances, meaning members collect their supply and consume it at home or in private spaces. Private Eigenanbau of up to three plants per adult household member is also permitted alongside club membership for those who prefer self-sufficiency. ## Nearby cannabis social clubs For anyone in Zapfendorf looking to join a cultivation club, the practical solution is to look at neighbouring cities where clubs are already operating and accepting new members. **Rattelsdorf** currently has the nearest option and is well connected to Zapfendorf for regular visits.

Members must be at least 18 years old and may receive cannabis flower and hashish up to 25 grams per day and 50 grams per month, with all dispensing electronically recorded.
