Legal Framework
Under the
Article 368, Spain has built a regulated cannabis system that carefully balances individual freedom with community safety.

Product types are limited to cannabis flower, hash, and concentrates, with daily distribution not exceeding 2–3 grams and monthly caps strictly enforced at 30–60 grams. The regulated by autonomous community school buffer and the rule that cannabis must be consumed on-site — taking it outside the premises is illegal are strictly enforced, with inspections conducted regularly. Private cultivation of tolerated for personal use (no fixed limit) and possession of available at grow shops (tiendas de cultivo) are permitted for personal use alongside club membership. Sales to minors, advertising in any form, and international transport are all criminal offences carrying severe penalties. 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.

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.
