How Uruguayan Cannabis Clubs Work
Under IRCCA regulations, cannabis clubs (clubes sociales de cannabis) are non-profit associations of 15 to 45 members who collectively grow cannabis for their own consumption. Each member may receive up to 40 grams per month from club production. Clubs must register with IRCCA, maintain internal records, and comply with cultivation limits. They cannot sell cannabis commercially.
Pocitos Neighbourhood
Pocitos is one of Montevideo's most desirable residential neighbourhoods, a beachside area along the Río de la Plata popular with professionals, expats and university students. The neighbourhood's relatively affluent, progressive demographic makes it a natural home for Uruguay's early cannabis club movement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I visit as a tourist?
Tourists cannot legally purchase cannabis from IRCCA-licensed pharmacies in Uruguay. Only citizens and permanent residents registered with IRCCA are permitted to buy. However, visiting the pharmacy neighbourhood and learning about the world's first national cannabis legalisation system is a popular activity for cannabis tourists.
How do I register with IRCCA?
IRCCA registration requires a Uruguayan cédula (national identity document). Foreign tourists cannot register. Uruguayan residents can register via the IRCCA website or at designated government offices. Once registered, the monthly 40-gram pharmacy purchase limit applies automatically.
