Members must be at least 18 years old and may receive cannabis flower up to 40 grams per month (no daily cap) per day and 40 grams per month per month, with all dispensing electronically recorded.

Non-compliant clubs face license withdrawal, financial penalties, and potential criminal charges for responsible individuals.
