The non-profit cannabis membership club model exemplifies Uruguay commitment to community over commerce, with members sharing the costs and benefits of collective cultivation. In Rio Negro, this approach has gained traction, with multiple municipalities now hosting active cannabis membership clubs that welcome members from surrounding areas.

Regardless of how you obtain your cannabis flower, responsible use is both a legal expectation and a personal commitment that protects you and your community. The Law 19.172 sets clear boundaries: a maximum of 40 grams per month (no daily cap) per day and 40 grams per month per month for club members. These limits exist to promote moderate use, prevent dependency, and support public health objectives. First-time users should begin with small amounts and wait to gauge the full effect before consuming more. It is illegal to consume cannabis in public spaces, near schools, or within 150 meters from schools and 1,000 meters between club facilities of youth facilities in Uruguay. Driving under the influence is strictly prohibited and carries severe legal penalties including license suspension. Store all cannabis products securely, away from children and pets, in clearly labelled containers. ## Legal Framework The legal basis for cannabis membership clubs in Uruguay is the **Law 19.172 — State Control and Regulation of Cannabis**, introduced in 2013. This comprehensive legislation permits adults aged 18 and older to join licensed growing collectives and to privately autocultivo up to six plants per household, maximum 480g harvest per year for personal use. The law establishes cannabis membership clubs as non-profit entities organised as non-profit civil association (asociación civil sin fines de lucro) bodies, each limited to 15 to 45 members per club members and subject to regular audits. Distribution limits are firmly set at 40 grams per month (no daily cap) per day and 40 grams per month per month per member, with all transactions documented. A mandatory 150 meters from schools and 1,000 meters between club facilities setback from educational institutions applies to all club premises, and violations result in immediate license revocation. Clubs are cultivation and distribution points — not consumption lounges at all licensed facilities. Advertising, branding, and cross-border transport of cannabis products are strictly prohibited under the law. The law also permits individuals to possess up to seeds supplied through IRCCA-registered sources only for personal cultivation alongside their club membership. ### Cannabis Policy in Rio Negro Cannabis policy in **Rio Negro** reflects Uruguay national standards while allowing for limited regional variation in implementation and enforcement. Rio Negro is responsible for issuing licenses to cannabis membership clubs, conducting premises inspections, and monitoring their ongoing compliance with the Law 19.172. The province of Rio Negro has seen varying levels of cannabis membership club adoption across its municipalities, reflecting different local attitudes and administrative priorities. El Surco, despite not yet hosting a cannabis membership club, falls under the same regulatory umbrella and could license one in the future. Compliance monitoring in Rio Negro is a joint effort between regional inspectors and federal regulators, with both conducting regular audits. Municipal governments retain the right to set additional zoning restrictions, which can influence where and whether clubs open in a given city. This layered governance approach ensures that the unique characteristics and needs of each area are considered in the licensing process. Exploring cannabis membership clubs near El Surco can be a rewarding experience when approached with the right preparation and realistic expectations. Palmar De Porrua is the most convenient starting point, offering established growing collectives with welcoming environments and experienced staff who guide first-time members through every step.

The clubs offer cannabis flower, with each variety independently tested and labelled with detailed potency, strain, and growing information. Stick to the legal limits of 40 grams per month (no daily cap) daily and 40 grams per month monthly, and always transport products home in sealed containers. With clubs are cultivation and distribution points — not consumption lounges, make sure you have a private location ready before collecting your products from the cannabis membership club.
