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. If you are new to cannabis, start with a low dose and increase gradually — effects can take time to build, so patience is important. Public consumption is prohibited throughout Uruguay, as is use near schools or anywhere within the 150 meters from schools and 1,000 meters between club facilities buffer zone.

Product types are limited to cannabis flower, with daily distribution not exceeding 40 grams per month (no daily cap) and monthly caps strictly enforced at 40 grams per month. The 150 meters from schools and 1,000 meters between club facilities school buffer and the rule that clubs are cultivation and distribution points — not consumption lounges are strictly enforced, with inspections conducted regularly. Individuals may also autocultivo six plants per household, maximum 480g harvest per year at home with up to seeds supplied through IRCCA-registered sources only, providing an alternative to club-sourced products. The law explicitly bans all advertising, cross-border sales, and distribution to anyone under the age of 18.
