GOOD TO KNOW
Make yourself
at home.
Clear answers for your first visit.
Who is the daytime lounge for?
Local adults of a broad mixture of ages. You do not need to be a medical cannabis patient to use the Community Lounge. Older residents and anyone experiencing isolation are particularly welcome, alongside anyone looking for a friendly space.
Is it really free?
Yes. Community Lounge entry from 10am–4pm and the Digital Support Drop-In are free. Drinks and snacks are paid for separately. Verified medical patients pay for evening access.
Do I have to leave after three hours?
No. Around three hours is a fair-use principle, not a fixed limit. Relax when the lounge is quiet; be considerate and make room for others when it is busy. Everyone leaves when the Community Lounge closes at 4pm.
Do I need a smartphone or cash?
Neither. Green Dream is cashless. Refreshments use your electronically topped-up prepaid account, where 1 token = 1p. You can use a physical Green Dream membership/community card without a smartphone.
What happens between 4pm and 6pm?
The premises are closed. The team cleans, restocks, handles administration, takes a break and prepares for the Medical Members’ Lounge, which runs from 6pm–10pm.
Do you sell or supply cannabis?
No. Green Dream does not sell or supply cannabis. Verified Medical Lounge members bring only their own legally prescribed medication. Evening access is a dedicated patient environment.
How does the £20 access cap work?
Medical Lounge Day Access is £5, or a 28 Day Pass is £20. If you pay £5 on four qualifying visits, the fourth payment activates a 28-day pass. The principle is: never pay more than £20 for 28 days’ access. Ask the team about the qualifying-visit record when you join.
Can I get help with my phone or AI?
Yes. Bring your own phone, tablet or laptop during daytime opening. The founders can help with everyday technology, online forms, scams, email, apps and understanding or using AI safely and practically. Where we can help, we will. There is no charge.
How is my privacy respected?
Identity and prescription verification support responsible Medical Lounge access. Contact the team for details of membership information handling and read the existing privacy policy.
Is Green Dream already a CIC?
Green Dream intends to operate as a Community Interest Company. We describe this as an intention, not completed registration. Any surplus is retained and reinvested into the organisation and community facility.
