The law covers three main pillars: cannabis social clubs for collective cultivation and distribution, private Eigenanbau of three plants per adult household member for personal supply, and strict consumer protections designed to safeguard public health. Every growers' association must register as a non-profit registered association, capping membership at 500 and ensuring complete financial transparency through regular audits. 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.

Netherlands, Germany does not have coffeeshops. Instead, since April 2024, licensed growers' associations under the Cannabis Act (KCanG) allow adult members to access cannabis legally.
Cannabis Policy in Brandenburg
The cannabis regulatory landscape in Brandenburg is defined by the interplay between national law and regional governance, creating a layered system of oversight. Federal law provides the baseline: 18 minimum age, 500 members per cannabis social club, 25 grams daily cap. Brandenburg may impose additional requirements beyond these minimums. Urban centres in Uckermark have generally been quicker to license cultivation clubs than smaller towns and rural communities like Schwedt/Oder. The fact that Schwedt/Oder has no cannabis social club yet is not a legal barrier but rather a reflection of local demand levels and administrative timing. Regional health departments also play a crucial role, ensuring that cannabis flower and hashish distributed through cannabis social clubs meet rigorous safety, labelling, and quality standards. As the cannabis social club model matures across Brandenburg, more municipalities including smaller cities are expected to host licensed clubs in the coming years.
