Cultivation Association
Are you planning to set up a cannabis social club? As a lawyer with a focus on cannabis law, I accompany you from the founding of the association to the application for a cultivation license.
Through my in-depth experience with establishing cannabis social clubs, I will help you navigate through a complex regulatory environment.
Legal support for the establishment of a CSC
From the articles of association to the license
The establishment of a cannabis social club is subject to strict legal requirements under the Consumer Cannabis Act (KCanG). Even minor errors in the articles of association, missing safety concepts or incomplete applications can lead to the rejection of the cultivation permit – or later to the withdrawal of the license.
Having supported more than 100 clubs in applying for a cultivation license, I know the requirements of the authorities inside out and ensure that your club is legally compliant from the outset. I will support you at every stage, from club registration to successful licensing and ongoing advice.
My services include:
The preparation of all necessary documents for the registration of your association (incl. articles of association, documents for the founding meeting, election of the board of directors, registration in the register of associations, etc.), as well as all the necessary concepts for applying for a cultivation permit, including
- Health and youth protection concept
- Security concept
- Participation concept
- Destruction concept
- Support with out-of-court correspondence with authorities
The most important requirements for cannabis social clubs
A Cannabis Social Club (CSC) is a non-profit registered association (e.V.) that grows cannabis collectively for the personal consumption of its members. The legal hurdles are high, but feasible with the right preparation.
Basic requirements
- At least 7 founding members
- Legal form: Registered association (e.V.)
- Maximum number of members: 500 persons
- Minimum membership period: 3 months
- Minimum age: 18 years
- Residence or habitual abode in Germany required
Important quantity limits
- Over 21 years: max. 50g/month, 25g/day
- 18-21 years: max. 30g/month, 25g/day, THC content max. 10%
Location requirements
- Minimum distance of 200m from schools, kindergartens, playgrounds
- No residential or military areas
The application process is complex and the requirements for growers’ associations are high. I will help you to understand and meet all the requirements.
