Finding legal cannabis clubs

A friend recently suggested I look into legal cannabis clubs in my area instead of just following random word-of-mouth recommendations, mainly because safety and proper regulation really matter. I definitely want a place that’s legitimate, well-organized, and transparent about how they operate – not some sketchy setup where you can’t tell who’s running things. For anyone who’s been through this already, how do you actually check if a cannabis club is properly regulated, and where do people even find trustworthy information before joining?
