What is Private members’ club?
A private members’ club is a members-only association through which adults share access to cannabis grown and held for their private use, built on the privacy rights recognised in the Prince judgment. Cannabuben operates on this members’ club basis rather than as an open retail shop. The model is a considered legal position, not a settled statutory framework, and members accept the associated responsibilities.
