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.

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