Is cannabis legal in Uruguay?
Uruguay runs a national legal adult-use system through registered pharmacies, cannabis clubs, or registered home growing, but only for citizens or legal/permanent residents. Access requires being 18+ and registering with the state regulator IRCCA. Tourists cannot legally buy.
How to buy: Be 18+, hold Uruguayan citizenship or legal/permanent residence, and register with IRCCA to access a pharmacy, a cannabis club, or registered home growing.
THC: Pharmacy strains reach about 20% THC as of 2026; this describes current pharmacy stock, not a universal cap for all clubs.
