What do you need to know about cannabis clubs?
Is cannabis legal in Spain?
Cannabis can be used legally in Spain if you comply with the following rules:
- Are a member of the Cannabis Social Club;
- Don’t use more than 100g of cannabis per month on the club premises;
- Do not take cannabis outdoors;
- Do not promote cannabis use in public places.
Cannabis has a special legal status in Spain. Catalonia can be considered the most liberal province in the country, and Barcelona is the best European city for fans of quality weed.
After a series of rulings by the Spanish Supreme Court in the 1970s, there was a decriminalization of the cultivation and possession of small amounts of marijuana. Today, cannabis laws in Barcelona allow:
- Membership in the Barcelona Cannabis Club, obtaining up to 100 g of cannabis per month;
- Self-cultivation in the amount of up to 2 plants
- The purchase of cannabis seeds in specialized grow shops;
- Consuming cannabis on private property without access to outsiders;
Despite its loyalty to recreational pot, the legalization of 2022 is limited. It is strictly prohibited to import, sell, buy, store marijuana and hashish, or consume the substance in public. Importing and selling any amount of cannabis is a felony punishable by imprisonment.
For purchase, storage, and consumption in public places the offender faces a fine from 601 to 30,000 euro with confiscation of the substances (Art. 36 p. 18 of the 2015 Citizens' Security Act). The legality of marijuana in Barcelona for people with medical conditions has not been considered at the legislative level.
