It means you are a member of a community where you can connect with like-minded people who share your passion for cannabis—and hopefully even more. Also, as part of a CSC, you can purchase your recreational cannabis, knowing exactly what's in it and who grew it. You're not buying from some random guy who picked you up in a 2008 Fiat Panda.

Now that you're a member of this community, wouldn't it be better if you also owned a small part of the cultivation? The cool thing about a cooperative is that with a small amount of money, you can be part-owner of a cannabis cultivation.

You know exactly what's going on with the cultivation and what materials are being used. You smoke your own cannabis. You vote with the other members/owners on who will be in charge of your cultivation. If they don't deliver, you can replace them. You can also work with the plants with your own hands (after coordinating with the gardening team, of course).

The members/shareholders/owners, but they must elect the executives at the general assembly—choosing who they believe is best suited to manage the cultivation process.

Nobody will call you that, but yeah, you own that thang!

As an owner, you don't gain money because it's a non-profit organization. Any profits from the sold cannabis will be decided upon by the general assembly.

You haven’t done it already?? Feel free, my friend! If you don’t suggest your friends to join your cooperative, who will?

We’re very sorry, but you have to stay with us forever! Just kidding. You can leave, like with any CSC, after three months of registration. You’ll take your initial investment and go fly, my little one!

You can only be registered in one club at a time in Berlin. In Barcelona, we don't care.

Nothing is free in life, my friend. We still have to pay for the electricity, fertilizers, staff, and much more. So to cover the basic needs of the club, we have to have a so-called "fee."
