How to become a member and what you need to know
Cannabis social clubs are a hot topic in Berlin. Since the partial legalisation of cannabis, interest in these non-commercial clubs has been growing rapidly. But what exactly is a cannabis club? How can you become a member? And are there already active clubs in Berlin? Get all the answers here.
What is a cannabis social club?
A Cannabis Social Club, or CSC for short, is an association in which members join together to grow and consume cannabis. It is not a coffee shop or a point of sale, but a closed community that functions according to fixed rules. Cultivation is exclusively for the members' own use and the club is not allowed to make a profit. This means that you cannot buy cannabis, but your membership gives you access to legally grown cannabis within the club.
These clubs are being created because the private sale of cannabis is still prohibited. So if you want to smoke weed legally without growing it yourself, you can find an alternative here. However, there are clear rules: Only adults are allowed to join, passing it on to third parties is prohibited and cultivation must be strictly documented.</p
How can you join a cannabis club in Berlin?
If you want to join a cannabis club in Berlin, you first need to find out about existing clubs. As the clubs are still in the start-up phase, there are often waiting lists. As soon as a club is officially registered, you can sign up as a member.
The most important requirements are:
- You must be at least 18 years old, in some clubs even 21.
- Registration is required, spontaneous visits are not possible.
- The number of members is limited, which is why many clubs only accept new members subject to availability.
- A monthly fee is payable to finance communal cultivation.
Each club has its own rules, but the basic principle is the same everywhere: only members are allowed to consume, and only within the club or in private.
Which cannabis clubs are there in Berlin?
There are still only a few officially registered clubs, but some groups are already waiting in the wings. In Berlin, names such as "Berliner CSC e.V." or "Hauptstadt Growers Club" are already well known. As the legal situation is constantly evolving, it is worth regularly looking for new clubs or exchanging information in online forums and communities.
If you can't find a suitable club, you can also get active yourself and found a new organisation. This requires at least seven founding members, an official constitution and registration with the register of associations.</p
Why cannabis social clubs are the future
The Cannabis legalisation in Germany remains a complex issue. While home cultivation is legal, commercial sale remains prohibited. This is where social clubs come into play. They offer a way to legally obtain cannabis without having to grow it yourself.
For many people, they are an exciting alternative because they can not only consume cannabis, but also be part of a community. Many clubs are also committed to education and responsible consumption.
The next few months will be crucial, as the club scene has yet to develop. Those who inform themselves early can secure a place in one of Berlin's first cannabis clubs in good time.</p
