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. Cannabis social clubs play an important educational role, teaching members about dosage, strain differences, and safer methods of consumption. Seeds, capped at available at grow shops (tiendas de cultivo), should only be acquired through legal channels to ensure quality and compliance. Above all, consumption should remain a personal, private activity that does not negatively affect those around you or your community. ## Legal Framework The legal basis for cannabis social clubs in Spain is the **Spanish Penal Code Article 368**, introduced in 2015. This landmark 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. Marketing of cannabis products, brand promotion, and international transport remain illegal under all circumstances. 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. ### Cannabis Policy in Basque Country How Basque Country implements cannabis policy depends on both the Article 368 at the federal level and local administrative decisions at the municipal level. Federal law provides the baseline: 18 minimum age, several hundred members per cannabis social club, 2–3 grams daily cap. Basque Country may impose additional requirements beyond these minimums. Urban centres in Vizcaya have generally been quicker to license cannabis associations than smaller towns and rural communities like Mendata. The fact that Mendata has no cannabis social club yet is not a legal barrier but rather a reflection of local demand levels and administrative timing. Regional health departments also play a crucial role, ensuring that cannabis flower, hash, and concentrates distributed through cannabis social clubs meet rigorous safety, labelling, and quality standards. As the cannabis social club model matures across Basque Country, more municipalities including smaller cities are expected to host licensed clubs in the coming years.
