Cannabis clubs, also known as cannabis associations or social clubs, are non-profit organizations, created to offer a safe and legal place for cannabis users. Thanks to the contributions of the members, the association grows the cannabis just for the consumption of the restricted circle of members.

Cannabis clubs offer a safe, regulated, and community-focused environment for cannabis users. By growing their own cannabis, clubs ensure the quality and safety of the product. Members can also enjoy socializing with like-minded individuals and participating in various events or discussions about cannabis.

The legality of cannabis clubs varies by country and region. In places like Spain and Uruguay, cannabis clubs operate under specific legal frameworks that allow private cultivation and use for personal consumption. These clubs adhere to local laws, which generally prohibit the sale of cannabis to non-members or the public.

Most cannabis clubs have strict requirements for membership. Typically, individuals must be over the legal age, already be a cannabis user, and reside in the country where the club operates. New members are often introduced by existing members, and the club's activities remain private, with only members allowed to participate.

Cannabis clubs operate under the principle of shared cultivation. Members contribute financially, which allows the club to grow cannabis for collective consumption. The cannabis produced is not for sale to the public; it is only distributed among members. Members typically collect their share at the club in a private, controlled environment, ensuring that consumption remains discreet and lawful.
