INSANGU SOCIAL CLUBS

A Cannabis Social Club, sometimes called a Teapad is a model of legal regulation of the Cannabis market. Cannabis is cultivated and enjoyed collectively. Cannabis Social Clubs became popular in the United States during prohibition.

 

A Cannabis Social Club is a concept of the pan-European, non-government organisation ENCOD, conceived in 2005 as a way to enable legal production and distribution of Cannabis for adults. Cannabis Social Clubs facilitate the professional, collective cultivation of limited amounts of Cannabis - just enough to cover the personal needs of their Club members.

 

These places differ from Cannabis coffee shops in that those openly sell Cannabis, while social clubs are not selling Cannabis, and are only accessible to members. Today Cannabis Social Clubs can be found in New Zealand, Spain (where more than 200 cannabis clubs exist in the area of Barcelona alone,) Belgium, France, The Netherlands, Slovenia, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, United States …… and it is gaining momentum all over SA and Africa.

​

Due to our South African situation of imbalance, existing social clubs such as taverns will be identified, trained and incorporated to function as Insangu Social Clubs. Other benefits of this include already having age restrictions (no minors), and the positive impact of Cannabis among alcohol users, in terms of it's healing possibilities for many conditions including usefulness for rehabilitation as well as for providing a greater sense of well-being when being used recreationally / spiritually.
