How a Swiss social club professionalises its sourcing

From 300 informal members to 1,200 verified members: how a clean sourcing backend unblocked growth.

The board manually ran sourcing, analytics and member comms — batch quality was volatile and reputational risk kept rising. Without a structured backend, scaling was impossible.

Plugged into a structured drop system with batch-level analytics

All members KYC-verified (18+) through club onboarding

Price transparency: members see batch, price and CoA live

Board freed up, focus back on community, education and legal advocacy

Active members 4× (300 → 1,200) within 18 months, per-batch complaint rate < 1 %. The club expanded its community programme and plans to join a pilot project.

We have more time for our members because sourcing no longer eats our weekends.

Does this model replace the association legally?

No — the association remains the legal entity. CannabisClub only provides the technical and organisational sourcing layer.

How is age verification handled?

All members go through an 18+ ID check, mirroring the CannabisClub onboarding.

Can pilot projects be plugged in?

Once a club is accredited in an FOPH pilot, dedicated supply within the legal framework can be arranged.
