Legal Framework
The legal basis for cannabis membership clubs in Uruguay is the Law 19.172 — State Control and Regulation of Cannabis, introduced in 2013. This comprehensive legislation permits adults aged 18 and older to become members of licensed growing collectives and to privately autocultivo up to six plants per household, maximum 480g harvest per year for personal use. The law establishes cannabis membership clubs as non-profit entities organised as non-profit civil association (asociación civil sin fines de lucro) bodies, each limited to 15 to 45 members per club members and subject to regular audits. Distribution limits are firmly set at 40 grams per month (no daily cap) per day and 40 grams per month per month per member, with all transactions documented. A mandatory 150 meters from schools and 1,000 meters between club facilities setback from educational institutions applies to all club premises, and violations result in immediate license revocation. Clubs are cultivation and distribution points — not consumption lounges at all licensed facilities. Marketing of cannabis products, brand promotion, and international transport remain illegal under all circumstances. The law also permits individuals to possess up to seeds supplied through IRCCA-registered sources only for personal cultivation alongside their club membership.
