What is a Social Club in Barcelona?
Barcelona’s Social Clubs are private associations that enable their members to consume cannabis in a legal and secure environment. Unlike the coffee shops in Amsterdam, here you have to be a member of the club to gain access.
Spain, and Barcelona in particular, has become a must for cannabis enthusiasts. The city now boasts dozens of private cannabis clubs, each with its own atmosphere, style and selection.
How does a Social Club work?
You can’t join a social club by chance. You usually have to :
- Be of legal age (+18 or +21 depending on the club)
- Pre-register online
- Provide valid identification
- Pay an annual fee
Once a member, you can access the lounge area, choose from several varieties of weed, hash, and sometimes even concentrates, edibles or cannabis-infused drinks.
