Individuals must be at least 18 years old to join, and dual membership in multiple clubs is typically prohibited. Dispensing limits are set at 2–3 grams daily and 30–60 grams monthly per member. All locations must be at least regulated by autonomous community from schools, a rule that influences where clubs can practically open. Cannabis must be consumed on-site — taking it outside the premises is illegal, meaning members collect their supply and smoke it at home or in private spaces.

The Spanish Penal Code Article 368 imposes daily and monthly limits of 2–3 grams and 30–60 grams respectively, ensuring measured access that supports public health goals. Key rules that every user in Spain must follow: no public consumption under any circumstances, no use near schools or within regulated by autonomous community of youth-oriented facilities, and absolutely no driving or operating machinery after consumption. Penalties for non-compliance range from monetary fines to criminal prosecution, and repeat offenders face escalating consequences. Cannabis social clubs play an important educational role, teaching members about dosage, strain differences, and safer methods of consumption. If you are purchasing seeds — limited to available at grow shops (tiendas de cultivo) per person — buy only from licensed and verified sources. Cannabis consumption is fundamentally a private matter — it should never impact the wellbeing or comfort of those around you. ## Legal Framework The Spanish Penal Code Article 368, passed in 2015, provides the comprehensive legal foundation for all cannabis social clubs operating in Spain. The law covers three main pillars: cannabis associations for collective cultivation and distribution, private private cultivation of tolerated for personal use (no fixed limit) for personal supply, and strict consumer protections designed to safeguard public health. Clubs operate as registered asociación cannábica (non-profit cannabis association) entities, limited to several hundred members with fully auditable accounts and mandatory compliance reporting. Members must be at least 18 years old and may receive cannabis flower, hash, and concentrates up to 2–3 grams per day and 30–60 grams per month, with all dispensing electronically recorded. The law mandates the regulated by autonomous community exclusion zone from schools, prohibits on-site consumption where applicable, and bans all forms of advertising or brand promotion. Violations of these rules can lead to license revocation, substantial fines, and criminal penalties for operators. Individuals may also hold up to available at grow shops (tiendas de cultivo) for personal growing purposes. Spain does not have coffeeshops. Instead, cannabis social clubs (asociaciones cannábicas) operate as private membership associations under Spanish law, accessible by invitation from existing members. ### Regional Cannabis Policy — Andalusia Cannabis policy in **Andalusia** reflects the broader national framework while allowing for limited regional variation in implementation and enforcement. Andalusia is responsible for issuing licenses to cannabis associations, conducting premises inspections, and monitoring their ongoing compliance with the Article 368. The province of Almería has seen varying levels of cannabis social club adoption across its municipalities, reflecting different local attitudes and administrative priorities. Albánchez, despite not yet hosting a cannabis social club, falls under the same regulatory umbrella and could license one in the future. Regional enforcement agencies in Andalusia work alongside federal authorities to ensure all cannabis social clubs meet the health, safety, and distance requirements mandated by law. Municipal governments retain the right to set additional zoning restrictions, which can influence where and whether clubs open in a given city. The multi-level governance model means that local context, community preferences, and infrastructure all matter in determining where cannabis social clubs operate.
