Additionally the clubs will have a Pharmacist affiliated who will function as contact person to the future Farmhouses, so that these can adjust their production rapid depending on the members’ needs and demands.

For more information on the different positions as well as training, see the page Training Academy.

The number and composition of the employees in Social Clubs will depend on the number of members, but it is expected that the employees – depending on their training and position (including Managers, Social Club Headmanagers or Phamacists) – must;

• have knowledge of the cannabis medicine products, including some knowledge of growing and producing

Firing basis / closing of Social Clubs

If a THCME Social Club Headmanager, Pharmacist and/or a Manager do not live up to the THCME Ethical Rules as well as the requirements that are demanded to run a THCME Social Club or if they in any other way damage the reputation of the association, they will be dismissed according to the rules that apply. At worst it might be necessary to close a THCME Social Club, if e.g. a Social Club Headmanager repeatedly omit to fulfill his or hers obligations. This can happen if:

• you sell the products of THCME to a person, who are not a member of the association
• you sell the products of THCME for other purposes than medical use
• you do not pay fees, taxes, VAT or so.

In cases where a Social Club Headmanager do not ensure to clamp down on e.g. a Manager’s inappropriate behavior or if the Social Club Headmanager violate the rules of THCME in a sufficient way, they will not only be dismissed but also prosecuted in accordance to the rules that apply. In these cases the THCME Legal Team will take over.
