The Spanish Penal Code Article 368 created a structured framework that includes cannabis social clubs for collective access, private private cultivation of tolerated for personal use (no fixed limit) for personal supply, and strict consumer protections to ensure safety. In the Catalonia area, this has translated into a growing network of private clubs that serve as community hubs for responsible, informed consumption.

A mandatory required setback from educational institutions applies to all club premises, and violations result in immediate license revocation.
