Spain has become one of the most popular destinations for cannabis enthusiasts, thanks to its unique model of cannabis associations. With more than 800 clubs spread throughout the country, Spain offers a regulated and safe approach to cannabis consumption.
In this complete guide, you'll discover everything you need to know about cannabis clubs in Spain: their legal status, the main cities with clubs, and how you can join these associations.
Spain has one of the most tolerant cannabis legislations in Europe, although it exists in what many consider a legal "gray area". Understanding this situation is essential for anyone interested in Spanish cannabis clubs.
In Spain, personal cannabis consumption in private spaces is decriminalized. Spanish legislation distinguishes between private consumption (allowed) and trafficking or consumption in public spaces (penalized).
Cannabis associations in Spain operate under a non-profit collaborative economy model. This model is based on three fundamental rights recognized in the Spanish Constitution:
These associations must meet strict requirements: be officially registered, have transparent statutes, limit access to members, and be non-profit. Cannabis is collectively cultivated for the exclusive consumption of members, who share production costs.
To join a cannabis club in Spain, you need an invitation from an existing member or an authorized sponsor. Cannabis After Club facilitates this process for you.
