On Wednesday 28th June 2017, after a period of two years, the Rosa Verda initiative, was approved by a large majority of the Catalan parliamentary groups. With the votes in favour of JxSí, Cs, PSC, CSQP i CUP; all parliamentary groups except PPC which voted against.

But what does the law say in detail? How is the Catalan cannabis social club model? The law regulates the Cannabis Social Clubs under the framework of ‘The Law of Associations’ and the legal doctrine of collective consumption and cultivation. It establishes that these entities are non-profit making, with a democratic, assembly and transparent management.

With regard to risk prevention and collective health, this has guided the law from the outset, with the advice of the Subdirectory for Drug Addiction of the Generalitat de Catalunya, which continues to be a pioneer in effective prevention programs, along with the Agency of Catalan Public Health, the CSC model is described as a model that preserves the values ​​of risk prevention and an important agent for the correct management of pleasures in a responsible way by the users of cannabis. Associations will also be obliged to trace the product, including with cannabis analysis, at the end of the process and prior to distribution. You will not be allowed to consume alcohol or any other illegal drugs in a CSC, nor can you make statement, apology or publicity about the consumption of cannabis.

On the other hand, we find transparency, the law requires us to have books for registration of members, minutes, crops, withdrawals and accounting, as well as an agricultural expertise.

In short, it is a safe model for users and non-users. That contemplates the social reality. The law is based on Health and Human Rights, from a multidisciplinary perspective, and regulates in an integral way the Cannabis Social Clubs.
