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 — Basque Country **Basque Country** operates within the framework of the Spanish Penal Code Article 368 but maintains specific administrative approach to cannabis regulation at the regional level.
