The Law 19.172 governs all cannabis membership clubs in Uruguay, mandating non-profit status, strict oversight, and complete financial transparency. Key operational rules include a 15 to 45 members per club-member ceiling per club, a minimum membership age of 18, distribution limits of 40 grams per month (no daily cap) per visit and 40 grams per month per month, and a mandatory 150 meters from schools and 1,000 meters between club facilities setback from schools and youth-oriented facilities. Fees of approximately UYU 500–2,000 per month cover the full seed-to-member pipeline, including quality assurance and regulatory paperwork.

Quality testing and product safety are cornerstones of the model, ensuring every member receives verified, uncontaminated cannabis flower.

Even in cities like Zeballos where no cannabis membership club exists yet, the conversation around regulated consumption is gaining traction among local residents.

First-time users should begin with small amounts and wait to gauge the full effect before consuming more.

Members must be at least 18 and may receive up to 40 grams per month (no daily cap) daily and 40 grams per month monthly from the club's collectively grown supply.
