The law covers three main pillars: cannabis membership clubs for collective cultivation and distribution, private autocultivo of six plants per household, maximum 480g harvest per year for personal supply, and strict consumer protections designed to safeguard public health. Clubs operate as registered non-profit civil association (asociación civil sin fines de lucro) entities, limited to 15 to 45 members per club members with fully auditable accounts and mandatory compliance reporting. 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. The law mandates the 150 meters from schools and 1,000 meters between club facilities exclusion zone from schools, prohibits on-site consumption where applicable, and bans all forms of advertising or brand promotion. Violations of these rules can lead to license revocation, substantial fines, and criminal penalties for operators. Individuals may also hold up to seeds supplied through IRCCA-registered sources only for personal growing purposes. ### Cannabis Policy in Colonia The rollout of cannabis membership clubs in Colonia has been influenced by regional administration, local policy preferences, and the practical challenges of establishing new institutions.
