Farmacia La Pedrera

Farmacia La Pedrera, spelled La Pedera on IRCCA's register, is a pharmacy on Pitanga street (block 16) in the beach town of La Pedrera, department of Rocha, authorized to sell adult-use cannabis. Rocha has three pharmacies on the list, in La Pedrera, the departmental capital Rocha and Chuy on the Brazilian border, so this shop covers a stretch of coast popular in summer.

Only adults aged 18 or over who hold a valid Uruguayan cédula as natural or legal citizens or permanent residents can buy. Registration is done once at an authorized Correo Uruguayo post office with the cédula and proof of address (a UTE, OSE or ANTEL landline bill, or a police certificate), and the buyer is verified by fingerprint at the counter. IRCCA's system caps purchases at 10 g in any 7 days, 40 g in 30 days and 480 g a year. Tourists and people with residency still in process cannot register, and cannabis bought legally may not be taken out of the country.

• 5 g packets of dried, unground flower, in four state-set varieties.
• Prices from February 1, 2026: Alfa $U 485, Beta $U 505, Gamma $U 565, Épsilon $U 615.
• Épsilon (sativa-leaning, up to 20% THC) is the best seller, according to IRCCA.

Uruguayan law bans any advertising or promotion of psychoactive cannabis, so pharmacies generally do not publicize stock or opening hours for it; we found no published hours for this shop and no readable review profile. Availability of a given variety can vary, so registered buyers may want to call ahead.
