The non-profit cannabis membership club model exemplifies Uruguay commitment to community over commerce, with members sharing the costs and benefits of collective cultivation. In Cerro Largo, this approach has gained traction, with multiple municipalities now hosting active growing collectives that welcome members from surrounding areas.

Uruguay law mandates strict limits: 40 grams per month (no daily cap) daily and 40 grams per month monthly, with absolutely no exceptions granted for any reason.

The 150 meters from schools and 1,000 meters between club facilities exclusion zone around educational institutions applies to both cannabis membership clubs locations and individual consumption choices.

Product types are limited to cannabis flower, with daily distribution not exceeding 40 grams per month (no daily cap) and monthly caps strictly enforced at 40 grams per month. 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.
