Members typically pay a fee of around €15–50 per year, which covers cultivation, testing, distribution, and administrative costs.

Clubs must also respect the regulated by autonomous community distance requirement from schools and youth facilities, ensuring community safety.

Distribution caps of 2–3 grams daily and 30–60 grams monthly reflect a deliberate commitment to harm prevention and moderate use patterns. 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. Part of the cannabis social club experience is education — learning about cannabis flower, hash, and concentrates, proper dosages, and evidence-based risk reduction strategies. Seeds, capped at available at grow shops (tiendas de cultivo), should only be acquired through legal channels to ensure quality and compliance. Cannabis consumption is fundamentally a private matter — it should never impact the wellbeing or comfort of those around you. ## Legal Framework The legal basis for cannabis social clubs in Spain is the **Spanish Penal Code Article 368**, enacted in 2015. This comprehensive legislation permits adults aged 18 and older to join licensed private clubs and to privately private cultivation up to tolerated for personal use (no fixed limit) for personal use. Under this framework, every asociación cannábica must be a non-profit asociación cannábica (non-profit cannabis association) with no more than several hundred members, and financial transparency is mandatory. Distribution limits are firmly set at 2–3 grams per day and 30–60 grams per month per member, with all transactions documented. A mandatory required setback from educational institutions applies to all club premises, and violations result in immediate license revocation. Cannabis must be consumed on-site — taking it outside the premises is illegal at all licensed facilities. Advertising, branding, and cross-border transport of cannabis products are strictly prohibited under the law. The law also permits individuals to possess up to available at grow shops (tiendas de cultivo) for personal cultivation alongside their club membership. 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 — Araba / Álava **Araba / Álava** operates within the framework of the Spanish Penal Code Article 368 but maintains its own administrative approach to cannabis regulation at the regional level.
