1. About Club Exhale
Club Exhale is a private members club operated by Exhale Group Ltd, trading as Teesside Cannabis Club, based in Stockton-on-Tees. We are a harm reduction and educational organisation focused on providing a safe, inclusive space for adult cannabis users. Membership is a privilege, not a right, and is granted entirely at our discretion.
2. Eligibility
Membership is open to adults aged 21 and over regardless of nationality or country of residence. The same rules and terms apply to all members.
To apply for membership you must:
- Be aged 21 or over
- Provide valid photographic ID (passport, driving licence, or equivalent)
- Provide proof of address dated within the last 3 months (utility bill, bank statement, or equivalent)
- Complete our pre-screening application honestly and in full
- Not have previously had membership refused or revoked by Club Exhale or any associated club
- Not have been refused a medical cannabis prescription on mental health grounds, or been advised by a healthcare professional that cannabis use may be harmful to your mental health
We reserve the right to refuse any application at our absolute discretion, without obligation to provide a reason.
3. Membership Fee and Duration
- Annual membership costs Β£120.00, payable in person at the club on the day of activation
- Membership runs for 12 months from the date of activation
- Discounted membership is available for those aged 65+, ex-services personnel, NHS workers, and those receiving PIP β please contact info@teessidecannabisclub.co.uk before attending
4. Activation β Completing Your Membership
Once your application has been approved, you will have 6 months to visit the club in person to complete your registration and pay your membership fee. Membership is only fully active once you have attended in person and payment has been received.
Your 12-month membership period begins from the date you attend the club and your membership is activated β not from the date of your application.
When you attend for activation, staff will verify your identity against the photo ID you submitted as part of your application. You do not need to bring your original documents β just yourself and a form of payment. Staff may ask you to confirm personal details to complete the process.
Your membership card will be issued on the day of activation. Once you have your card, it (or a clear photograph of it) is sufficient for entry on future visits.
If you do not attend to activate your membership within 6 months of approval, your application will lapse and you will need to reapply.
New members must observe a 24-hour waiting period after submitting their application before attending the club for the first time. Once you receive your approval notification you are welcome to come in and complete your membership at any time during our opening hours.
5. Pre-Screening and Verification
All applicants are required to complete our pre-screening process, which includes answering a series of questions and uploading identity documents. This process exists to protect the safety and integrity of the club and its members.
Providing false or misleading information during the application process will result in immediate refusal or revocation of membership, and may result in a permanent ban.
6. Membership Card
Upon activation, members will be issued a Club Exhale membership card. This card must be presented on entry to the club. Members without their card may be refused entry.
Your membership card is personal to you and must not be shared, transferred, or used by any other person.
7. Concessions
Discounted membership is available for:
- Adults aged 65 and over
- Ex-services personnel
- NHS workers
- Those in receipt of Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
