Ausschnitt der Satzung des „thesocialclub. Düsseldorf e.V.“
Can I buy cannabis from you now?
No, currently we are not allowed to produce or provide cannabis to our members. However, we are actively preparing our production areas to start cultivation immediately after decriminalization as an association.
How long do I have to verify myself after registration?
The proof of payment(s) serves as a written application and has an unlimited validity until the first delivery of our self-produced cannabis.
What does membership cost with you?
Membership costs €50 per month. This amount covers the ongoing costs of the project. In addition, there is a one-time registration fee of €200, which is used to finance future production areas and equipment purchases.
How do you arrive at a registration fee of €200?
According to our calculation, our project will cost at least €300,000. The registration fee is intended to help cover the costs of future expansion.
What payment methods are available?
We currently accept payments via PayPal and bank transfer.
How do you arrive at a monthly fee of €50?
The monthly fee consists of €30 in electricity costs per member and expenses for rent, fertilizer, substrates, CO2, and more.
When can I pick up cannabis from you?
Once cannabis is decriminalized and we are allowed to apply for a cannabis production license as an association, and this is approved.
What varieties do you plan to offer?
Our genetic collection currently includes about 100 different phenotypes. Our selection is based on taste and aroma, following the standards of the American market.
How much will a gram of cannabis cost with you?
We estimate that we can offer premium cannabis for about €8 per gram in Germany. Please note that this is an estimate, as we still need to include costs such as security services in our price.
Can I smoke cannabis in your association?
No, current legislation prohibits the consumption of cannabis in cultivation associations. Although we oppose this ban, we unfortunately have to enforce it. However, we plan separate consumption and lounge areas. Currently, consumption of non-alcoholic beverages and small snacks is permitted.
Why can only individuals aged 21 and over become members?
This is due to current legal regulations, which stipulate that 18-21 year olds are only allowed to consume certain cannabis varieties with specific THC limits, and we do not want to make any restrictions.
Where can I find your articles of association?
For data protection reasons, our articles of association are currently not fully available online. The most important information from our articles of association can be found in our FAQ. Members can view them on site at any time. If you are not a member, you can make an appointment via our contact form to view the articles of association in advance.
What is an Umami Terp Tester?
An Umami Terp Tester is an exclusive circle of people who have the opportunity to test unique genetics not yet available on the American market. Our association has the privilege of occupying one of these positions.
Do you also sell cuttings and seeds?
Yes, once the legal situation permits, we will also offer cuttings of our exclusive phenotypes and seeds from renowned manufacturers for sale.
How many grams can I buy from you after decriminalization?
Currently, it is planned that each member of our registered association can pick up 25 grams twice a month after receiving the cultivation license and completing our first cultivation project. Please note that this is the current status and may change depending on the legal situation.
What is a supporter?
A supporter is an individual or legal entity that supports our association through voluntary donations.
Do supporters have to pay a registration fee after decriminalization?
Yes, if a supporter decides to join the association, the registration fee of €200 must still be paid. The monthly contribution then automatically increases to €50, as with all other members.
Will my data be shared with authorities or other institutions?
No, we attach great importance to data protection and would never disclose your data to third parties without a court order. After years of criminalization of cannabis consumers, we are well aware of the sensitivity and protection of your data in this matter.
Is your association nonprofit?
No, at present we do not see a permanent possibility to recognize our cultivation association as nonprofit.
Is your association profit-oriented?
No, our association is not profit-oriented. Our goal is to prepare our project for a stable future. We have structured our cultivation association in a way that we are not dependent on sales and have a stable foundation.
Can I deduct my donations from taxes?
No, since we are not a nonprofit association, this is unfortunately not possible.
Are you allowed to ship cannabis by mail after decriminalization?
No, members must pick up the cannabis personally on site. According to current legal planning, mail order is not permitted.
Do I have to buy 50g per month once I become a member of Thesocialclub. Düsseldorf e.V.?
No, even if we are allowed to produce and distribute cannabis and you are a member of our association, you are not obligated to pick up 50g from us monthly. Our monthly contribution only covers the running costs.
Does Thesocialclub. Düsseldorf e.V. organize association meetings?
Yes, our association holds a membership meeting at least four times a year, and we also plan future 420 events.
What is a tissue lab?
A tissue lab is a special room in our building used for the cultivation and storage of plant material from the smallest components. This process allows us to keep genetics clean and cultivate new mother plants from existing genetics.
Do you have multiple dispensing locations?
Currently, only one dispensing location is planned in Düsseldorf. However, if future changes in the law allow the opening of additional dispensing locations and distance regulations are adjusted, we also plan to set up multiple dispensing locations in Düsseldorf.
When could the cannabis legalization law come into effect?
The cannabis legalization law was implemented on 23.02.2024, with a planned implementation on April 1, 2024. The application for a license is scheduled for July 1, 2024, and since the allocation takes a maximum of 3 months, we expect to receive our license by October 1, 2024, at the latest.
Is your cultivation area separated from the dispensing rooms?
Due to high real estate prices, we have decided that our cultivation areas will be located in the outskirts of Düsseldorf, while our first dispensing location will be centrally located in Düsseldorf.
