FAQ

Why are Barcelona cannabis clubs Members only?

According to Spanish law, the consumption and possession of marijuana is restricted to private spaces. This means you can only partake in it at home or at designated associations. Known as cannabis social clubs, these exclusive associations require membership for access, and are not open to the public. These clubs operate within legal limits, ensuring a controlled and safe environment for cannabis use. To enter such an association, you must become a member via invitation from an existing member, or from the club itself. Upon approval, you'll receive a membership card granting access to the club.

Cannabis Club or CoffeeShop?

Unlike Amsterdam's weed coffeeshops, Spanish cannabis social clubs have a distinct model. They are non-profit associations focusing on a members-only format, cultivating marijuana exclusively for their members' consumption. By contrast, coffeeshops sell cannabis to the public alongside food and drink, essentially functioning as cafes that also sell weed. To gain access to cannabis produced by the club, members pay a voluntary contribution, also known as donation. These clubs do not engage in traditional "buying" or "selling" like at coffeeshops; instead, terms like "get," "have," or "collect" are appropriate. This donation model ensures compliance with the law, enabling clubs to operate and members to enjoy cannabis legally.

Membership costs

To join a cannabis club in Barcelona, you need to pay an annual fee of 20€ - 50€. As mentioned above, membership fees differ between establishments. There are no discounts, short-term memberships or “can I just buy weed without registration the club”. Keep in mind that, if visiting with friends, each person must register individually ensuring compliance with legal requirements and pay annual membership fee.

What does annual
membership
include?

Upon paying the annual fee, you’ll get 12 months' access to the club — but this does not include items from the dispensary. These purchases must be made using separate donations. Typically, these range from 8€ to 15€ per gram, depending on the strain of weed. Most clubs are cash-only, so bring sufficient funds with you.

Entrance
to a club

The legal model of cannabis clubs in Barcelona restricts the availability and promotion of marijuana. As a result, there are no signs or markers at the entrances to the clubs. Instead, you have to find the doorbell and ring it. Upon doing so, you will soon be let in and taken to reception by one of the club’s staff members.

Entrance to a club

At reception

When you visit a club for the first time, you’ll be taken to the reception desk to complete the registration process. The club is responsible for ensuring that only club members of the appropriate age are present on the premises, so you’ll be required to provide valid proof of ID in order to register. After that, the club staff will explain the establishment’s rules and answer any questions you might have.

Club etiquette

Cannabis clubs in Barcelona offer a unique and friendly atmosphere that sets them apart from Amsterdam's coffee shops or California's weed cafes. Respect and maintain this ambiance during your visit. Maintain a calm and peaceful environment: avoid making excessive noise, talking loudly, or yelling. No photography and videotaping. Be considerate: respect personal boundaries, privacy, and the personal space of others. Any form of inappropriate behavior, such as harassment or aggression, may result in the cancellation of your membership and expulsion from the club.

Leaving the cannabis club

Leave cannabis for storage

If you have unused cannabis, you can have it stored in the club dispensary under your name until your next visit to the club.

Leaving the club

Inside the club, you can legally consume as much as you like. After, you are allowed to go out in public, even if still under the influence of weed.

Take any unused cannabis with you

Cannabis use is legal only within the premises of the club; consumption in public spaces is strictly forbidden, and carries fines of between 500€ and 1,000€. As such, we would advise not to consume marijuana outside the club. If you do choose to carry cannabis, be discreet and hide it well, preferably in your underwear.
