They exist to provide adult members — minimum age 18 — with safe cannabis flower grown collectively within regulated facilities.

Life & Community in Centurion
The stigma around cannabis in Uruguay has diminished considerably since the Law 19.172 took effect in 2013. The Law 19.172 — State Control and Regulation of Cannabis created a structured framework that includes cannabis membership clubs for collective access, private autocultivo of six plants per household, maximum 480g harvest per year for personal supply, and strict consumer protections to ensure safety. In the Cerro Largo area, this has translated into a growing network of growing collectives that serve as community hubs for responsible, informed consumption. Cities like Centurion are part of this evolving landscape, even without a local club — the cultural shift touches every municipality. Education is central to Uruguay cannabis culture: members are informed about cannabis flower, proper dosing, and responsible habits through club resources and community events. The right to privately autocultivo six plants per household, maximum 480g harvest per year also reflects a culture that trusts individuals to make responsible decisions about their own consumption.
Responsible consumption of cannabis is a cornerstone of the legal framework in Uruguay, and understanding these obligations is important whether you are a club member or a private grower. Whether you access cannabis flower through a cannabis membership club or through private autocultivo of six plants per household, maximum 480g harvest per year, the same principles of moderation and awareness apply to every consumer. The Law 19.172 sets clear boundaries: a maximum of 40 grams per month (no daily cap) per day and 40 grams per month per month for club members. These limits exist to promote moderate use, prevent dependency, and support public health objectives. If you are new to cannabis, start with a low dose and increase gradually — effects can take time to build, so patience is important. It is illegal to consume cannabis in public spaces, near schools, or within 150 meters from schools and 1,000 meters between club facilities of youth facilities in Uruguay. Driving under the influence is strictly prohibited and carries severe legal penalties including license suspension. Store all cannabis products securely, away from children and pets, in clearly labelled containers.
Legal Framework
Under the Law 19.172, Uruguay has built a regulated cannabis system that carefully balances individual freedom with community safety. The core provisions are unambiguous: cannabis membership clubs must be non-profit non-profit civil association (asociación civil sin fines de lucro) bodies, with membership capped at 15 to 45 members per club adults aged 18 and over, and all finances publicly auditable. Members may obtain cannabis flower within 40 grams per month (no daily cap) daily and 40 grams per month monthly limits, and each transaction is logged for regulatory compliance. All club premises must be at least 150 meters from schools and 1,000 meters between club facilities from schools and youth centres, and clubs are cultivation and distribution points — not consumption lounges without exception. Private cultivation of six plants per household, maximum 480g harvest per year and possession of seeds supplied through IRCCA-registered sources only are permitted for personal use alongside club membership. Sales to minors, advertising in any form, and international transport are all criminal offences carrying severe penalties.
Regional Cannabis Policy — Cerro Largo
How Cerro Largo implements cannabis policy depends on both the Law 19.172 at the federal level and local administrative decisions at the municipal level.

As the cannabis membership club model matures across Cerro Largo, more municipalities including smaller cities are expected to host licensed clubs in the coming years.
