Three companies supplied the adult-use flower sold in Uruguay's pharmacies at the end of 2025: Faises, licensed by the regulator IRCCA since 2015, plus Jabelor and Legiral, both licensed in 2019. Verdex also lists Fotmer Life Sciences, a medical cultivator licensed to 2029 that exports flower. At the counter, a registered adult scans a fingerprint and chooses among four state-approved varieties in sealed 5 g packets at prices the state sets, from 500 to 630 pesos since August 1, 2026, according to IRCCA. Only citizens and permanent residents can register, and tourists cannot. IRCCA listed 60 selling pharmacies in April 2026.

Where the harvest goes: three routes, one registry
| Pharmacy | Club | Home grow | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Registered (April 30, 2026) | 88,955 buyers | 585 clubs, 20,798 members | 10,330 growers |
| Limit | 10 g per 7 days, 40 g per 30 days | Up to 480 g per member a year | 6 plants, 480 g a year |
| Supply | Four state varieties, Alfa to Épsilon | Grown at one club site, up to 99 plants | Your own harvest |
Épsilon, the strongest variety at up to 20% THC, was added in October 2024 and is the best seller, IRCCA reported for January to April 2026. A user picks one route and cannot combine them.
Coverage is uneven: Montevideo has 26 of the pharmacies, and five departments had none in April 2026. Growers and clubs cannot advertise, so scams fill the gap. On August 26, 2026 IRCCA warned about fake social media profiles posing as licensed clubs, taking advance payments and offering delivery, which real clubs are not allowed to do. In February 2026 the regulator said it was working on access for non-residents; nothing had changed by September. See the Uruguay system explained and the registration steps.
