Distribution caps of 40 grams per month (no daily cap) daily and 40 grams per month monthly reflect a deliberate commitment to harm prevention and moderate use patterns. Key rules that every user in Uruguay must follow: no public consumption under any circumstances, no use near schools or within 150 meters from schools and 1,000 meters between club facilities of youth-oriented facilities, and absolutely no driving or operating machinery after consumption. Penalties for non-compliance range from monetary fines to criminal prosecution, and repeat offenders face escalating consequences. Cannabis membership clubs play an important educational role, teaching members about dosage, strain differences, and safer methods of consumption. Seeds, capped at seeds supplied through IRCCA-registered sources only, should only be acquired through legal channels to ensure quality and compliance. Above all, consumption should remain a personal, private activity that does not negatively affect those around you or your community.
