Cannabis social clubs in Cape Town

The legal picture in South Africa

In 2018 the Constitutional Court ruled that adults may use and grow cannabis in private. Selling cannabis is still not legal, which is why private clubs work on a closed, adults-only basis where guests share a private space.

Public consumption is not covered by that ruling, so keep it inside the club or in private accommodation that allows it.

• Adults 18+ with photo ID
• Private, closed clubs: no street sales
• Consume inside the club, never in public

How entry works in Cape Town

Most Cape Town clubs charge a joining or entry fee at the door. A Zazapass entry pass covers that fee for a full year at participating clubs. Each club independently decides membership and admission under its own rules.

• Pick a club pass on Zazapass
• Use the name that matches your ID
• Show the QR code at the door

Where the venues are in Cape Town
