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.

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. Key restrictions include the 150 meters from schools and 1,000 meters between club facilities school buffer, clubs are cultivation and distribution points — not consumption lounges, and a total ban on advertising, sponsorship, and promotional activities. 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. ### Cannabis Policy in Maldonado **Maldonado** operates within the framework of the Law 19.172 — State Control and Regulation of Cannabis but maintains specific administrative approach to cannabis regulation at the regional level.
