Sure, cannabis patients have it easier, you can simply order cannabis online. Social clubs are the alternative for recreational cannabis use. A cannabis social club is a way to grow and consume cannabis legally and safely – without any complicated bureaucracy. Sounds exciting, doesn’t it?

How does a cannabis social club work?
A Cannabis Social Club is a non-profit association that was founded in accordance with the provisions of the Consumer Cannabis Act. The idea behind it is simple: the members grow cannabis together for their own use. Everything is done legally and under strict conditions to ensure that cultivation is safe and sustainable. So you can think of a CSC as a community that supports each other and uses cannabis responsibly.

As a member, you contribute to the cultivation and care of the plants. This can be practical in the cultivation itself or through other organizational tasks such as planning or documentation. You are part of a community that wants to use cannabis responsibly and legally.
