The daily limit is 40 grams per month (no daily cap) and the monthly cap is 40 grams per month — these are not guidelines but legally binding maximums enforced by every registered club de membresía. For individuals under 18, access is entirely prohibited, and supplying minors carries heavy criminal penalties regardless of intent.
