Affiliates

Running a cannabis store in South Africa isn’t easy. The rules are confusing, enforcement is unpredictable and the black market makes it tough to compete.

That’s why CCF exists – to give retailers like you the backing, guidance and credibility you need to trade with confidence.

Joining CCF means you’re not standing alone. You are part of a national movement that’s building a safe, legal and inclusive cannabis economy.

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the principal psychoactive constituent of the cannabis plant, has low toxicity while the LD50 (dose of THC needed to kill 50% of tested rodents) is high. Acute effects may include anxiety

As a CCF Affiliate, you get access to:

• Compliance Support: Help with your Site Master File, Section 21 applications and regular store check-ins.
• Verified Supply Chains: Connect with trusted, compliant suppliers.
• Training & Certification: Stay ahead with workshops and certificates that prove your credibility.
• Protection from Shutdowns: Ongoing support to reduce the risk of raids or forced closures.
• Recognition & Trust: Use CCF membership tools (like cards and branding) to show customers you’re doing things the right way.
• A Voice in Policy: Be part of the collective pushing for fair cannabis laws in SA.

We keep things transparent – here’s what you’ll need to maintain as an affiliate:

• – Company registration docs & certified IDs of directors.
• – Police clearance certificates.
• – Supplier invoices from vetted sources.
• – CCF audit report & compliance guidelines.
• – Proof of training & workshop attendance.
• – Legal declarations (SAPS inspection register, Declaration of Trade).
• – Records of incidents (theft, loss, disposal, etc.).

Don’t stress – we’ll guide you through the whole process and provide templates where needed.
