The Law 19.172 — State Control and Regulation of Cannabis, passed in 2013, provides the comprehensive legal foundation for all cannabis membership clubs operating in Uruguay. 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. Non-compliant clubs face license withdrawal, financial penalties, and potential criminal charges for responsible individuals. Individuals may also hold up to seeds supplied through IRCCA-registered sources only for personal growing purposes.
