What is a Cannabis Social Club?

Cannabis social clubs are private, members-only associations where adults can legally consume cannabis. Unlike Amsterdam’s coffee shops, these clubs are not open to the public. They function as closed communities, which makes them a safe and regulated space for their members.
Invitation

You need an invitation

Membership is strictly regulated. You must either be sponsored by an existing member or get an invitation from the club itself.

Membership card

Get your membership card

Once accepted, you’ll receive a card that grants you access.

Voluntary donations

Clubs are non-profit

Instead of selling cannabis, members contribute voluntary donations that fund cultivation. In return, they can obtain cannabis grown by the association.

Leaf

No buying or selling

Since these clubs operate within specific legal frameworks, terms like “obtain,” “have,” or “collect” are used instead of “buy” or “sell.”

Membership Costs & Rules

Becoming a member of a cannabis club comes with an annual fee, which typically ranges from 20€ to 50€, depending on the establishment. This fee only covers access for 12 months — any cannabis you obtain from the dispensary inside is charged separately.

There are:
  • No day passes
  • No short-term memberships
  • No way to purchase cannabis without officially joining the club

If you’re planning to visit with friends, keep in mind that each person must register individually and pay their own membership fee. Clubs are strict about this to ensure compliance with legal regulations.

Membership

Who Can Join a Сannabis Social Club?

You don’t have to be a Spanish resident to join. This means membership is open to anyone who meets the legal age requirement. The minimum age is 18, but many clubs set their own rules and only accept members aged 21 and over.

That said, age alone doesn’t guarantee access. Each club has the final say on who they accept and can refuse membership without explanation. Also, clubs sometimes pause or limit new registrations due to administrative or legal restrictions.

What To Take With You

Here’s a quick rundown of what to bring with you:
Id
Identity Card
Make sure to have your valid ID — a passport, national ID, or driver’s license. Clubs are required to verify your identity as part of the KYC (Know Your Customer) rule, so this is a must-have for entry.
Letter
Invitation Letter
You need to be sponsored by an existing member or receive an invitation from the club itself. Be sure to bring your invitation letter to confirm your eligibility for access.
Cash
Cash
Because cannabis associations typically don’t accept bank cards, bring enough cash to cover your purchases and any other needs while at the club.

Essential etiquette

Before heading into a cannabis club, take a look at these basic rules:

Relaxed hat

Keep the atmosphere relaxed

Cannabis clubs are made to be peaceful and welcoming, so you should be respectful to other members and maintain a positive vibe.

No photo

No photos or videos

To respect everyone’s privacy, photo and video recording is not allowed. This maintains the club’s intimate and personal setting.

Pot

Consume responsibly

The cannabis quality in Spanish clubs is some of the best in Europe, so be sure to know your limits.

There are different strains, including Indica, Sativa, and hybrids, as well as pre-rolls like joints and spliffs. For those who prefer concentrates, there’s a selection of hashish, wax, resin, shatter, and sugar wax. You can also pick up vape products, marijuana edibles (cookies, gummy bears, lollipops), and all the essential smoking accessories (rolling papers, filters, grinders, bongs, pipes).
Cannabis can only be used inside the club, and using it in public can lead to fines of between 500€ and 1000€. Any leftover cannabis can be stored at the club for your next visit. It’s legal to leave the club after using cannabis, but possession outside the club is still forbidden, but if you choose to do so, be discreet and hide it well, preferably in your underwear.
You don’t need to worry about your personal information. Cannabis clubs take data protection seriously and follow strict rules to keep your information safe. Your details are never shared with third parties, including government authorities, unless required by a court order.
Be cautious of street promoters offering access to “coffee shops” or “cannabis clubs.” These offers are illegal. The black market includes street sales and fake “cannabis clubs” that tend to target tourists. This can lead to low-quality products, scams, or getting involved in illegal activities. Only legal cannabis clubs should be used, and they can’t advertise or use street promoters.
