Teesside Cannabis Club: Inside the consumption room
Teesside Cannabis Club has been based on Stockton's high street since 2018.
The front of the venue sells rolling papers and CBD products, while the back - reserved for hundreds of paying members - is a consumption room.
Reggae music plays, a disco ball hangs from the ceiling and a thick haze of cannabis smoke fills the room.
Club owner Michael Fisher describes it as a place to chill out without judgement, but added his team also aimed to reduce the harms associated with drugs.
Cannabis is a Class B drug, and Cleveland Police said it took illegal drugs seriously and continued to enforce the law.
