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. Clubs must maintain the 150 meters from schools and 1,000 meters between club facilities buffer, ensure clubs are cultivation and distribution points — not consumption lounges, and submit all products for independent quality and safety testing. For personal use, citizens may autocultivo six plants per household, maximum 480g harvest per year and possess seeds supplied through IRCCA-registered sources only, providing a self-sufficient alternative.
