[Updated for 2018!] I get a lot of questions from readers about Barcelona’s cannabis clubs. Questions range from “How Can I get Membership at a Cannabis Club in Barcelona?” to “Is Weed Legal in Spain?” to questions about the club’s use of personal information and many others. Of course, there’s also no shortage of questions about the actual marijuana on offer in Barcelona. Because many of these questions follow a common theme, I thought this short but direct list of the 10 most important things you need to know about Barcelona’s cannabis clubs might help shed some light on what is – by necessity – a private industry.
CLICK HERE TO APPLY FOR MEMBERSHIP NOW
(This is a preliminary application process; not all who apply will qualify for membership based on Spanish law and club policy. This process is not meant to be promotional in any way; application for membership is general and is not necessarily applied to any particular club unless the applicant fully qualifies.)
Here are the 10 most important things you need to know about cannabis clubs in Barcelona:
1.) Cannabis Clubs in Barcelona are private, not public
Don’t confuse a cannabis club in Barcelona for a coffeeshop in Amsterdam; they’re not at all the same thing. Amsterdam’s coffeeshops are public and are open to anyone at any time. Barcelona’s cannabis clubs, on the other hand, are only open to new members via referrals through existing members. These policies result in striking differences between the two:
- Amsterdam’s coffeeshops feel like you’re hanging out at a pub or bar
- Barcelona’s cannabis clubs feel like you’re hanging out in your own living room
If you join a cannabis social club, you can trust that your information will remain private. You won’t receive marked mail from the club, they won’t sell, give away or provide your information to anyone else, the club will not leak or otherwise make your information available to government or other authorities, and the club won’t spam you with advertisements or offers. Why? Because it’s all private, not public.

2.) You Don’t “Buy” Weed from Barcelona’s Cannabis Clubs
When you become a member of a cannabis club in Barcelona, you are essentially part of a coalition that grows and distributes marijuana among its members. Therefore, the marijuana that’s grown belongs to all members, including you. You are required to pay for your share of what it costs to grow the marijuana and pay for the building space and other facilities, utilities, etc. These costs are recouped in a number of ways, and members generally share the cost.
This means that you’re not buying weed when you go to a smoking club. You’re simply acquiring your share of what you and other members have grown. Therefore, it is considered rude to talk about “buying weed,” and if you do so while at a club you might be corrected. Instead, ask how much the member share is, or how much contribution is required for X number of grams of cannabis.

3.) You Need an ID and Address in Spain to Get a Membership
In order to get a membership at a cannabis club you must present a valid government-issued passport, driver’s license, ID, or NIE card. You must also register using a regular residential address in Spain; in most cases a hotel or hostel address won’t work so you will need to provide a residential address. No mail will ever be sent to the address you provide, the information will be kept strictly confidential and in most cases you are not required to “prove” your address. Spanish residency is NOT required to join a cannabis club in Barcelona or any other city; you must merely supply a residential address at the time of your inscription.
NOTE: In addition to the above, some clubs may require you to allow them to photograph you for their records. If you’re comfortable with this, then go for it.
Additionally, some clubs require members to be 21 years old or older, while others accept new members as young as 18.

4.) You can Still Get in Trouble for Smoking Marijuana in Barcelona
Just because you can get weed legally in Barcelona doesn’t mean you can be flippant about it. Spanish law is very liberal in private spaces. Therefore, it’s okay to have some marijuana in your own home, or in a private club. But if you display or use marijuana in a public place and are caught, you’ll almost certainly be fined, the marijuana will be confiscated and depending on the circumstances you could be arrested and jailed.
Be smart. Just because you see people smoking joints on Las Ramblas doesn’t mean you should too. In fact, the truth of the matter is that outside of a private residence or a club, you could be harassed and ticketed by police. If you take cannabis out of a club (most people do) then please remember to transport it in your under garments. Spanish authorities cannot search there without a warrant. If you do get caught with weed in public, you will be ticketed and pay a fine, but there is no criminality involved unless you are over a threshold that most cannabis club members never exceed.

5.) Not All Marijuana at Cannabis Clubs in BCN is grown by the Club
Some Barcelona smoking clubs can’t afford the space, equipment and services required to grow fine quality marijuana. Instead, they resort to acquiring it via other means. In some cases this may involve getting weed from other clubs, or it may require cooperation with large growers out in the Spanish countryside. There are also some clubs that get their marijuana from the guys that sell it down on the beach.
Where the club acquires its cannabis may not matter to you, but it definitely does to me. After all, if I wanted street marijuana, I’d just go get it from the street guys directly and at a much better price.

6.) Not All of Barcelona’s Smoking Clubs are Created Equal
The differences from one club to the next are astounding. There are huge clubs that span three floors of a major building, and there’s clubs that are nothing more than one small room with a couple of cheap chairs. There are clubs that are located in dark basements, and clubs that are in bright new spaces. Some are themed, some are not. Some are fancy, some are dingy.
Whatever type of environment you’re looking for, chances are that you can find it at a cannabis club in Barcelona. In fact, there’s even a gay cannabis club in the city called Berry Boi, but I’ve never been able to get much information on it.
What I’ve found is that most people who are regulars at Barcelona’s cannabis clubs have memberships to multiple clubs – usually at least 5 or 6 – and frequent them all for different reasons.

7.) Most Cannabis Clubs Charge a Yearly Membership Fee
You’ll pay your fair share for the effort required to grow your marijuana and house you in a number of ways. First, nearly every club requires a yearly membership fee. This is generally 20-35 Euro, but can be as low as 10 Euro and as high as 100 Euro. Some clubs give membership away for free, but this is rare and often comes at a price – poor service, cruddy environment, terrible weed, etc.
It is not appropriate to negotiate or attempt to have the fee waived. We are all members, we all need to support each other and these small fees are how we pull together to do this. You’ll also contribute a set amount per gram for different marijuana strains and hash, and for any other products or services offered by the club.
Additionally, you may want to bring a friend or family member with you to the club who doesn’t smoke, but still wants to see what it’s like. This is completely acceptable, but this person must still register for membership to be able to enter the club, in keeping with the private nature of the clubs which is necessary for their existence.

8.) There are Legal Limits to How Much Marijuana you Can Acquire
This is important; there are limits to how much weed you can purchase per month in Spain. I believe the limits are something like 98 grams, which means that if you’re getting lots of weed at multiple clubs, you could be subject to investigation. Probably not, but you should know this. When you register at a cannabis club, you will be provided with information about what the limits are, and you’ll sign a form stating you’ve read this information.
You’ll be asked on the forms how many grams per week you will acquire from the club. This is not a commitment; it is merely an estimate so you are not required to collect this amount each week, and clubs will only allow you to acquire 5 grams per day maximum. I usually write that I’ll acquire around 8-10 grams per week or up to 40 per month, and for me that’s probably pretty accurate unless I’m doing a lot of entertaining that month.
By filling out this form, you are authorizing the club to grow X grams of marijuana on your behalf. This protects the club in the event that its cultivation operations are investigated.

9.) Cannabis Clubs in Spain Cannot Advertise Publicly
Because Spain’s cannabis clubs are private, members-only organizations, they cannot publicly advertise. This may be why so few people are aware of what’s really going on in Barcelona, how prevalent the cannabis clubs are, and that membership is available even to foreigners. In fact, as of a recent ruling in Catalonia’s parliament in early 2015, there are no residency requirements to join a cannabis club.
If you see that a club is advertising publicly, such as someone handing out fliers or other literature or advertisements on the street, then you probably should not go to that particular club. After all, doing business with a cannabis club that’s breaking the rules is self-defeating when lawmakers in Barcelona and Spain overall still haven’t really made their minds up about cannabis clubs just yet.
If you are approached by someone on the street who wants you to join a cannabis club, you should take extreme caution as this is probably not legitimate. Professional clubs do not send promoters out into the streets to recruit new members – they don’t need to and it’s against the law anyway. I know some shady characters who promote clubs on Las Ramblas and the popular plazas nearby, and they’re not exactly people you want to get involved with. Beware.

10.) Regulations for Cannabis Clubs in Barcelona are on the Way
There are close to 200 cannabis clubs in Barcelona, and they’ve all been operating under what are often confusing statutes and grey areas that make it difficult to be certain that they’re doing the right thing. Thankfully, legislators have been hard at work developing a set of standards that Barcelona’s cannabis clubs can be held to. Some of these standards are being put into effect now, while others have been reserved for systematic implementation.
This means that we can expect at least some changes to the way cannabis clubs operate in the coming months, so it’s important to stay abreast of these changes in case any of them present risk or potential problems for you, whether you’re a Catalonian or not.
UPDATE: A lot has happened in the last couple of years. Catalonia passed a referendum to regulate the cannabis clubs, thanks to the La Rosa Verde petition, but then in 2017 the region lost its autonomy after a failed bid for independence. Now, the federal government of Spain has stepped in, applying Constitutional law, which protects and allows cannabis clubs to exist without the need for specific regulation…at least for now[January 2018 and beyond]. For more information about this, please review the materials at the following link:
Acquiring Membership at a Cannabis Club in Barcelona is Relatively Simple
There seems to be a lot of mystery about Barcelona’s smoking establishments, but the reality is that in most cases, membership opportunities are abundant. So how exactly does one go about getting a membership at a Barcelona cannabis club? If you know someone who is already a member of a club, you can simply ask them to sponsor you. If you don’t know anyone, then you’re more than welcome to strike up a dialogue with me in the comments below, in the comments on this post about my first experience at a club in BCN, or by using the site’s contact form. You can also email me directly at russ@marijuanagames.org. I’ve helped many people acquire membership at a Barcelona cannabis club, and I may be able to do the same for you.

Hi Russ, im about to go to Barcelona for a few days and i´m very interested in joining one of this clubs because I smoke to get relaxed. Im living in Madrid currently and filled an application for some clubs in Marijuanabarcelona.com but i don´t know if it is legit.
Love to know what i should do if i wanna visit one of these clubs, do i need to register online or something?
I care about weed quality but not necesarily strands
Thanks!
Hello Russ,
i do live in Barcelona and I am looking for something to help me deal with anxiety, insomnia and hyperfocus. After reading some research papers, I want to try high CBD strains of cannabis, to smoke, such as Harlequin/ACDC/Cannatonic or other in the 1:1 or higher CBD/THC range.
I already went to a few clubs, but unfortunately I havent been able to find those strains… I assume that they might not be too popular among other users.
Do you have any suggestion of place I could go to ? The quality/availability of those products is my priority, but I would like to stay away from anything dodgy…
Thanks in advance.
Have you checked Greenardo?
Hello Russ,
no I havent checked Greenardo, I will give it a try, thank you for your suggestion !
I am on their website, but the way to join the club is not clear. Could you enlighten me ? I assume that I can’t just pop up there…
By the way, thank your for all the informations you are providing on your website, it’s really helping me.
Peace.
Hi Russ, good day to you!
I read your article and I’m thinking of becoming a member starting in September 2017. I will be living in Barcelona for my internship until December 2017.
Can you recommend a good social club for a (Belgian) student who does not speak Catalonian yet?
Keep up the good work!!

Hi Russ how are you?
First of all thank you for having such a generous nature in helping other people I just read your article and saw the amount of people you helped that’s really cool.
I’m here in Barcelona just arrived today with my family.
I was hoping if you could help me get a referral from you in one of the clubs to get weed as soon as I can I’m leaving next week and I need to save this trip.
Please let me know what to do next.
Hola Akram; thank you for your kind words, and welcome to Barcelona! Please email your request to me at russ@marijuanagames.org, and I will be happy to assist you there. Best wishes. Peace -Russ
Hi Russ and thank you for this great info.

Im very much into edibles though i smoke if i cant find the edibles. at home, i make my own edibles (as you know, its relatively easy). would you be able to introduce me to a club preferably with edibles? i appreciate that mate. peace… happy smoking..
Hola Ali; sure, no problem; please email me 24 hours prior to your arrival in either city and I’ll be glad to assist you: russ@marijuanagames.org Peace -Russ
Hey Russ! Love what you are doing here. I am going to travel to Barcelona for the first time and this is actually my first real trip to anywhere so i am actually pretty nervous too with all this excitment. It is about the practical side of joining these clubs because i dont want come of as stupid tourist. So to the question, how do i actually do it? I readed articles but still want to ask so i do it correctly. Can i do it online? and the adress thing makes me quite nervous propably for no reason. Confused and happy at the same time so i jope you actually understand my question and could help me. Thank you anyways
Hi Russ,
first of all thank you for your way how you present cannabis consume, yours video on Vice is very profesional. I with my crew, wheres almost everyone is grower, consume cannabis with same passion. Pure, clean bongs, joints just without tabacco, vaporizers .. we always talk about differences of strains and love that share spirit around weed. The question is: WHICH CSC OFFER THEIR MEMBERS OUTDOOR GROWN, SPAIN CANNABIS ?
You know, in some way are indoors quite same everywhere, I can buy indoor weed for better price here in Czech republic, but I want to see how CSC works practically, I visit some workshops about it on Cannafest in Prague, but …. its just theory. I want with my girl try it personally 🙂
The best situation is some local small club, with not so big fee (we are poor students), with few outdoor strains for some responsible price. Maybee some hashes would be sweet.
And for last we are both bongs enthusiasm (like you, I guess), so if there are few glass pieces, its right place for us
Thx for answer and your work for worldwide legalization
Hola Ondrej; unfortunately, it’s very risky to grow outdoors in Spain. I don’t know of any clubs that have outdoor weed right now, but the best bet to find exterior greens is probably LaKalada, or Gourmet Ganja. You can also try some clubs outside of Barcelona, where it’s easier to grow in the Spanish sun. Good luck and let me know if you find anything, I LOVE OUTDOOR CANNABIS! Best wishes Peace -Russ
Hello all, yesterday my wife and I applied for a membership at a club called Sticky Born, the reviews online are great. The problem was that getting there, we were getting hounded and followed by multiple shady looking folks trying to get us to go to their “private club” telling us the others weren’t good and theirs were only $10 and open until 03:00 etc. The irony is that we told them we didn’t even smoke weed because of how wierd it was from the time they approached us! Long story short it got so uncomfortable we left the area. This happened two times in the same day by two separate men. Both insisted we go with them down a small street (maybe not so strange in the gothic quarter because all the streets are small) but it 100% did NOT feel safe and we left. Better safe than sorry, we can smoke anytime we want back home! It definitely felt like a scam or at least we were going to be lured somewhere to be shook down. Maybe I’m overthinking the situation but that’s my story if it helps anybody!
Hola Mike; you were smart to avoid those guys. Best case scenario is they take you to a seedy, shady club; worst case scenario is you get robbed. And Sticky Born is one of the worst clubs in the city; if you’d like to see a professional club, please send me an email: russ@marijuanagames.org Best wishes Peace -Russ
Hi Russ, I just emailed you a few questions but I wasn’t sure if email was still the best way to contact you? I’m in Barcelona with my wife until July fourth and would love it if you could help me out! The whole process sounds facinating and it seems like I qualify for the membership process so any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks dude
Hello Russ. Heading to Barcelona this weekend and wondered if you could help me to find some nice places and possibly help me with membership? Cheers,mo

Planning a trip this summer. In terms of not using a hostel or hotel address – what would your suggestions be? I’m thinking an air bnb (which would be someone’s home) would work?
Just want to have a conversation about the practicality of it as I’d hate to get there and end up dry!

Hi Russ,
Its a helpful article.
I am in my 60s, travelling alone in Barcelona end of March for a few days. Would I be an oddity in most clubs?
I wasn’t sure if the Clubs were a source for on-site use or for obtaing a few grams for home use. Could you clarify.?
Cheers
Rita
Hola Rita; Well, it depends on the club; in some associations you’ll fit right in, but in others, not so much. Thanks to the unique individuality of the cannabis social clubs, there really is a place for everyone. Circulo in El Born is the place where you will probably feel the most at-home.
Nearly all cannabis clubs allow and in fact encourage on-site consumption, but members also take their cannabis shares out of the club and to their homes or other private places for consumption.
Best wishes
Peace
-Russ
Hi Russ

Hello Russ!
Loved the article it was an interesting and helpful read. Me and my girl friend will be visiting Barcelona for my birthday and I was wondering if you could help us get into a cannabis club. I have a few more questions as well. I emailed you recently. Hope you can get back to me soon.
Thank you so much!
Hi Russ, Your article if from 2014 when the outlook was upbeat and promising… But I wonder about today? So I have just returned from BCN after a 3 day visit. Now please bear in mind that I have been visiting coffee shops and purveyors for a long time.
And So spent the first morning afternoon asking the public where to find a CSClub and the replies were rather of fputting to say the least. I considered going back to the airport and buying a ticket to amsterdam when I heard ‘sssssssstt’ you wanna go to the club? Anyway I went along to a bare, depressing and xboxie kinda place, Wow the charges and quality??? High and low unfortunately. But the most striking aspect of the visit for me was the impression of Danger one is given by the people. police all over the place BCN feels more like a prohibitive state that an actually prohibitive state feels, referring for you to hide the wet expensive down one’s boxer shorts? Regarding cannabis policy and tourists I would compare BCN with Tangier. I’m certain not to visit again even if the whole trip was free. Most disappointed..
That’s unfortunate that you had that experience, but to be honest I have sponsored literally thousands of people to professional private cannabis clubs, and your comments are the first of their kind that I have heard. Going to a club that some guy solicited you on the street for? That’s on you mate; what did you expect? You need a sponsor to enter a legitimate club, and recruiting on the streets for cannabis clubs is completely illegal. You should have done some research before you arrived and then you would not have had a bad experience; don’t blame it on Barcelona. Police are all over the place in all major European cities right now. Barcelona is one of the best places in the world, it’s too bad you didn’t connect with it. I recommend reading some materials that I have prepared on this site to educate people about the cannabis clubs in Spain, and I think you’ll see that your experience was…unique: http://marijuanagames.org/tag/barcelona-cannabis-clubs/

Hello Russ,
me and my grilfriend are going to spend some days in Barcelona in about 3 weeks.
We don’t have an adress in spain, also we don’t know someone who is already member of a club.
So I’d like to ask you if it would be possible to get a membership anyway.
Thank you very much!
Please email me at russ@marijuanagames.org Peace -Russ
Good Afternoon Russ, I have friend that is trying to get me an appointment for La Mesa Club, he is willing to sponsor me. I was wondering, besides an ID and address, do you know of any other information i need to bring?
Hola Kevin; I’m sorry to tell you that La Mesa is closed: http://marijuanagames.org/la-mesa-cannabis-club-goes-up-in-smoke/. If you would like to join a different club, please email me at russ@marijuanagames.org. Peace -Russ

Hey I am in Puerto del Carmen visiting on holiday and managed to register at a club called the green bulldog with no hassle just needed a passport but I was wondering I am staying in a hotel apartment is this classed as being my private residence while I stay here so am I within my right to spark up?
Hello, I was wondering what is the situation with shatter, I have recently been to Amsterdam and while it is posible to buy it there.They only sell low grade rubish at extortionate prices.
Hola Steven; right now most clubs are not carrying any of the more potent concentrates. Most only stock flower, hash and iceolator. Club Choko has some shatter, but I haven’t personally tried it so I can’t vouch for it, but based on their excellent proprietary strains I’d guess it’s pretty good.
Aloha, Russ I will be staying at the Rialto Hotel on April 30 to May 2, 2016, Can you recommend a couple of nearby cannabis clubs. How can I go about joining? Thanks.
Hi Russ, great article it really did give me a insight. I’m flying over to BCN at the end of Feb & was wondering which is the best club. Also how do I go about joining it?. Thanks

Thanks

Hola Mick; yes, some clubs outside of Catalonia are being closed down based on local enforcement of confusing statutes. However, in Catalonia things are normal and quiet, so I will be happy to help you. Please email me at russ@marijuanagames.org and we can discuss it there. Thank you Peace -Russ

Hi im going Lanzarote in december,Can You help me out
Hola Anthony; sorry mate, I don’t have any connections there. Good luck! Peace -Russ
Is it paid service yours? If we connect with you , we will give you any commission or any clubs fee ? Thanks
Hola Osman; I do not work for the clubs; I am just a fellow member that helps people out, so I do not charge for connecting you to the club if you qualify. As discussed in the article, most clubs charge a yearly membership fee of 20-30 Euro. Peace -Russ
Hi Russ,
Arriving at Barcelona tomorrow for 6 days.
Can you help me with a membership?
I don’t have an address.
Thanks!
Hola Simon; please read my response to the comment below yours concerning the address. For all queries please use russ@marijuanagames.org Peace -Russ
Hi,
On your application page you ask if one can provide an address that is not a hotel, is this a requirement for getting into all cannabis clubs?
Is it possible to join a club when staying at a hotel?
Thanks for your comment. Under the law, RESIDENCY is not required in order to join a cannabis club in Spain. However, most clubs will require that you register using an address within Spain that is NOT the address for a hotel or hostel. This is due to “enthusiastic” and perhaps misguided interpretation of the law, but ultimately there is actually no law requiring residency and creating such a law would likely be discriminatory. So it is club policy to disallow hotel or hostel addresses, although most clubs don’t ask for address verification anyway. I hope this answers your question sufficiently. Peace -Russ
Hi Russ I am in Barcelona on the 10th of September for 5 day’s. I use cannabis and I have researched cannabis oil for medical use, as I have a tumour I think it may help me. Can you recommend some good clubs where I can pick up from.
thanks.
Hi Russ,
Im arriving to Barcelona today 26th and leave on the 31st. Any possibility to arrange for a membership at a club? Will meet my cousin there and she lives in Granada, so a Spanish adress will be easy to give.
Thanks!
Sami
Hi Russ,

Hi Russ. Im only here for a few days. Just emailed you. Thanks. Antony
Hola Antony; got your email and responded. Thanks -Russ
Hello, i have a question, is it possible to become a member in a cannabisclub if i use the address of my aunt who lives in barcelona? Thanks for the help
Hi Nina; residency is not required; you only need to provide a regular residential address in Spain for the registration. So yes, the address of a family member or friend will be fine. If you want to make an application to join a Barcelona cannabis club, please email me at russ@marijuanagames.org. Peace -Russ
Hi Russ, you helped me to become a member at green age in may 2014. i am going to visit bcn again at the end of july.
after reading your blog entry about the actions of the government to prevent bcn of becoming the next amsterdam (sucks!) iam unsure if i will run into a problem when i get to green age again.
Do they revoke memberships if the member is not a resident of spain? Or is this rule only applied to new members?
How does it work with the memberfee? Do they automatically exclude you if you aren’t there within a year to pay the annual fee or can you go there over a year later and just have to pay the fee before getting access to the member rooms?
thanks for your time, we really appreciate your effort!
Hola Axel; thank you for your comment. Most clubs offer 1-year memberships, which means that if you are not able to renew your membership in person within that time period, you will need to inscribe as a new member once again. This means you will need a current member to re-sponsor you. Additionally, some clubs terminate memberships if you do not use the dispensary for a certain period of time, for instance, 90 – 120 days. This is because many clubs put limits on the number of active members they have, and it’s a lot harder to legally justify a grow operation if an association has many inactive members.
Residency is not required to become a member in a private cannabis association at this time. Peace -Russ
Hi russ
Im from New zealand currently in Barcelona for 3 days but come around again on August 20 for 4 more. my misses and I would love to experience weed culture here as a comparison to home and hoping you could help us out?

Hi Russ, I have a question, last year (Around May 2014) you helped me acquire a membership for me and my bf to the Green Age club in Barcelona.
I registered there and now I have their “smart card” charged with a certain amount of money + I get publicity and newsletters via e-mail from them all the time.
My question is, what happens to my membership if the next time I arrive to the Green Age it will be after May 2015 which means more than a year had passed, do I need to get a membership through you again or do I simply go there and pay for the next year without re-registering? how long a membership “lasts” if I’m not physically there to pay for the next year?
Thank you,
Meital
Hi Meital; thank you for your comment. If you do not renew before the membership expires, you will need an active member to sponsor you again. However, I think you will find that Green Age has radically changed their policies, and all previous memberships that were not based on documented evidence of a rental contract in Spain have been purged. Meaning, your membership is no longer valid and you don’t qualify according to their standards to renew, unless you can prove a residence in Spain and are willing to accept the club’s 15 day waiting period. For the balance on your card, I recommend you contact Green Age directly.
Fortunately, all you need to do is email me when you are next in Barcelona, and I can make other arrangements for you: russ@marijuanagames.org. Until then, take care. Peace -Russ
Hi Russ-
My wife and I will be renting an apartment in Barcelona at the end April for a week or so, travel around a bit, and then return to Barcelona for a few more weeks before flying up the Netherlands and points north. We have heard of the possibility of joining a club in Barcelona, and as experienced users would welcome the opportunity to see firsthand the Barcelona approach to proving medicinal and/or therapeutic cannabis to responsible adults. Is there any information or assistance you may be able to provide in this regard? And is it legally permissible to enjoy cannabis on a private patio or balcony of a rental unit, or would that be considered public usage and display?
Thanks.
Jay
Hi Jay; please email me at russ@marijuanagames.org 48 hours prior to your arrival in Barcelona, and I will be glad to assist you then. In the meantime, you can find tons of information about Barcelona’s private cannabis clubs here: http://marijuanagames.org/tag/barcelona-cannabis-clubs/ Peace -Russ
Hi Russ

Hi Mike; I think I may have received and responded to an email from you. If not, please email me at russ@marijuanagames.org and I will be happy to help. Peace -Russ
Hello Russ,
I am booking a trip for a couple days in mid April. It will be me and my partner, I am 19 and my girlfriend is 18 and both would like to join a cannabis club as both social smokers.
If I email you 48 hours before, would I defiantly get joined up?
Its the main reason of coming to Barcelona.
Regards
Hi Ben, well nothing is definite and your age at this time is a problem. However, by mid April I may have an option for people who are under 21. All I can tell you is to email me 48 hours prior to your arrival in Barcelona and I can properly advise you at that time. Peace -Russ
Hi Russ, going to be going over to bcn for dabadoo and Spannabis and could do with being a member of a club for my free time! Will be arriving in Barcelona on Wednesday 18th! Can you help a fellow Russ out? Hope you can! Many thanks, Russ.
Hey Russ; awesome name! Sure thing, just send me an email 48 hours prior to your arrival in Barcelona and I will be happy to assist at that time: russ@marijuanagames.org Peace -Russ
Hello Russ, my husband and I are going to spend our vacation in Spain soon. Can you help us find clubs near Girona/Estartit because I tried to find through internet but no luck.
Also wanted to ask are clubs like the coffee shops in Amsterdam cocerning entering with childrens? because our friends are obligated to have theres with them all the time as they are babies.
Thanks
Hi Noha; unfortunately, I live in Barcelona and don’t have any connections outside of the city at this time. You may be able to find a club near you using our directory, but you will need to contact them directly: http://marijuanagames.org/marijuana-directory/. As far as your other question, no, children are not permitted to enter the clubs. By law, only persons 21 and older can enter, but some clubs may allow members as young as 18. Keep in mind that heavy smoking of cannabis and tobacco occurs in the clubs directly; there would be no place to shelter children from this even if clubs did allow children. However, I may be able to help if you all want to come to Barcelona. I can sponsor you at a professional cub directly, and have several contacts for safe, reliable and responsible child care. I am father to a 4 year old little girl, so I understand your needs quite well. Best of luck to you and please email me if you feel I can be of further assistance: russ@marijuanagames.org. Peace -Russ
hello Russ, my boyfriend and I are going to Spend our vacation in August in Barcelona how can we register in a club? and i’m 19 years old and him 22 .
Hi Lisa; it’s too early to provide many details now, but if you email me again about a week before your arrival I will be able to better advise you at that time. Peace -Russ
Just dropped you a mail. Have requirements for foreigners changed then? Thanks Russ
Hi Russ, Ive emailed you some questions if you could please get back to me! thanks, Ben
Hi Russ. you are write about this, but i guess i read tour forum late. I just sent you an email. please check it.
Checked and responded.
Hi Russ
Great post, all the info I needed for my upcoming trip. My question is of course, could you sponsor for me for membership? I’ll be in BCN next week, from 1 March to the 4th.
I’ve sent u an email directly at the address below as well.
Cheers
Hi Lucas; of course, I will look for your email and respond there. Peace -Russ
hello,

yo dude, can like turists become members?
Okay thank you
Hi Russ.
I sent you a email yesterday.
It would be grateful if you could help my friend out in Barcelona.
Thanks for your assistance in advance.
Russ,
Tons of great info here! BCN will never be the same for me 🙂 I’ll be in BCN end of this month for work but always like to speak the international language wherever I go. What’s the process?
Hi Tal; thanks! Send me an email 48 hours prior to your arrival and I will assist then: russ@marijuanagames.org Until then, have a great month. Peace -Russ
Hey Russ. I am a member at Kush. I am curious if I can sponsor more than one person at a time or if I can only bring one person to sponsor in a trip to the club. Thanks
Hi Josh; I am not sure about the rules at Kush, but at most clubs you can bring several friends to sponsor them for membership at a cannabis club in Barcelona, as long as they meet the requirements to join. There usually aren’t any restrictions in this regard that I am aware of. Peace -Russ
Hi Russ! Today is my birthday and I would like to celebrate by joining a cannabis club! Could you direct me to any in or around barceloneta?
Hi Elizabeth; please email me: russ@marijuanagames.org
Hey Russ was wondering if you can direct me to any clubs in Madrid . Thanks Danny.
Hi Danny; I don’t belong to any clubs in Madrid personally, but you can search our directory to find a club and then contact them directly: http://marijuanagames.org/marijuana-directory/ Good luck, and thanks for stopping by! Peace -Russ
Hi Russ, just sent you an email as I’ll be in Bcn tomorrow all day.
Thanks for your answer.
Okay, checking my inbox now. 😉
Hi Russ! Thank you for all the great information provided. I am coming to Barcelona to study abroad for a semester, would I need a seperate membership in order to attend Spannabis? I will send you an email and thanks for all of your help!
Hi Alison; thank you for your comment. I will respond via email, but I also want to reply here too so that others can see this information. Cannabis clubs in Barcelona are distinctly separate private associations. They are not connected to each other, and they are not connected to Spannabis, which is another separate entity. However, it’s no problem to become a member of a club and purchase tickets to Spannabis. Anyone wishing to do so should send me an email to russ@marijuanagames.org Thanks! Peace -Russ
Hi Russ. Thanks for all the information. Ive been here in barcelona for a few days now. And I was wondering if you knew the aproximate opening hours of the clubs and if they open on sundays as well. Peace.
Hi Nicolas; thank you for your comment. As the clubs are private entities distinctly separate from each other, the opening times and days vary greatly from one establishment to the next. Some open early, some later, some are open on Sundays and holidays and some are not, etc. It’s best to contact the club directly to find out their hours. Keep in mind you will need a current member to sponsor you if you wish to join a club. Peace -Russ
Hello russ, thanks for all the information provided it should all come to good use! Me and my girlfriend are coming over for the spannabis in march and was wondering if you’d be willing enough to help us out with membership, I have emailed you also but I thought I might as well cover both, any more information/advice or anything else would be much appreciated and I thank you in advance for any help you can give 🙂 thanks, jake smith
Hey Jake; Spannabis is amazing, I will see you there. 😉 And I will look for your email in my inbox. Peace -Russ
Hey Russ! I appreciate the information you’ve posted here, it’s quite informative and helpful. I’m interested in a membership and have sent you an email regarding said membership. If you could get back to me when you can it would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to speaking with you. Peace!
Hey, Russ! Good post and thanks in advance for your help. Defunately would like to experience the club environment. Will email you shortly for help… Thanks once again… MZ
Okay cool, will see you in my inbox. 😉 -Russ

Hi Russ,
I will be visiting Barcelona with my girlfriend from the 13th to the 17th Nov for my birthday.
I got used to weed in Mexico where it is grown in a field and you don’t mix it with tobacco but I simply haven’t come across anything like that in the UK, so I don’t tend to smoke very often. It would be massive for me if I could enjoy a relaxed spliff in legal circumstances in Barcelona.
Would really appreciate your help with sponsorship to an amiable club. If it helps I speak Spanish fluently,
Many thanks,
John
Hi John; email me at russ@marijuanagames.org Peace -Russ

Hi Russ. I am looking forward to my very first excursion to the beautiful city of Barcelona. I would like to email you regarding the cannabis clubs.
Cool, did we connect via email?
Hi Russ, I’m in Barcelona currently and am very keen to visit/join a cannabis club. How short of notice will be required for sponsorship?
Many thanks,
Michael
Hi Michael; things are a little chaotic in Barcelona (and for me on business here in the States), so it’s a little difficult to answer that question and it depends on whether you meet the current requirements. It’s best to email me at russ@marijuanagames.org to discuss. Peace -Russ
Hi Russ. Thank you for the great articles and your overall effort in promoting the cannabis culture! I just sent you an email. Would be great to hear from you.
Regards
Flo
Hi Flo; sorry, I get a lot of emails and I can’t always associate them with the comments section – did we connect via email?
In barcelona now. I have a medical cannibis card from Oakland California but was flat out rejected and treated like a jerk from the club on 62 Carrer del Rec when I showed up and requested to enter club. They wouldn’tt help and seemed uninterested in my status as a patient. Leaving to tomorrow, my location is Passeig de Picasso, any help would be appreciated.
That’s unfortunate, but I am fairly certain most clubs require you to have a sponsor even if you are a medical patient…I can’t do anything with this short notice, sorry mate.
Hi Russ, i arrived barcelona today, and im willing to stay for 1 week. Moreoever, im here with my family, so i would like to get some quality time for my self and just get high. So where do u recommend that i should go, and i would prefer to get weed on my own and smoke it in my apartment, therefore i wont have to leave and my family will be worried. Thank you
Hi Mohammed, it’s best if you email me at russ@marijuanagames.org. As I am on an extended hiking trip in the US and that is the best way to reach me at the moment. Peace. -Russ
Hi Russ, just arrive from uk and will stay for few days is there any change you can sponsor or suggestion where to go or try? Thank you
Best regards
Adam
Hi Adam, I am on an extended hiking trip right now, so it’s best if you can email me at russ@marijuanagames.org. Peace.
Hi Russ,my best friends dad has just been sent home from hospital because his kemo is not working. Would it be possible do you think to get cannabis oil for use as medicine for him if we were to take him to Barcelona from Ireland? Please help as we are desperate.
Hi Quintin; I will be happy to try to help. I am not sure about which clubs (if any) have cannabis oil. Some clubs have hash, shatter, wax, dabs, etc., but very few have oil. I will send some emails today on your behalf and see if I can find a club that has cannabis oil. If I am successful I will contact you, but for now if you can send me an email at russ@marijuanagames.org so that we can more easily communicate, that will be ideal. Has your friend’s dad had radiation and surgery already? Peace -Russ
Hi I found on the internet someone who offers to sponsor people for the Betty Boop club in Barcelona is it alright if I just have his first name and if that isn’t the case could you possibly help me.
Hi Edmund; no that is definitely not legitimate, not to mention the fact that I don’t recommend anyone to become a member at Betty Boop:

If you’d like to see examples of respectable clubs who conduct themselves legitimately, please see here:

If you need more information or assistance please email me at russ@marijuanagames.org
Peace -Russ
Hey! Your information was really helpful, but I wanted to ask you one thing. My sister has a membership with a cannabis club in Barcelona, but she won’t be in the city when I am. If I give the club her name and show them my ID, is there a chance I’ll be able to get a membership too? Thank you for your help!!
What club? Did your sister agree to this? If she wants to sponsor you, she will need to be present in order to do so. But being that I have no idea what club you are talking about, it’s impossible to say. The general rule is you must be sponsored in person by a current member.
Hi Russ I want to become a member, I’m from Australia here for 6 days, staying at the are hotel barcelona. Can you help me??
regards glen
Hi Glen; I’m overwhelmed with requests right now, so please send me an email so I can try to keep things organized: russ@marijuanagames.org
hi russ. can you help me get in. i cant email you for some reason. im here for the next two or 3days.
Bryan
Hi Bryan; I assume you mean “get you in” a cannabis club? I can certainly discuss it with you, but not in the comments section. Only via email: russ@marijuanagames.org. If you’re not able to email there really isn’t much I can do. Peace -Russ

Hey dude im going barcelona with my girlfriend an looking on joining a club im 22 an she is 21 we both smoke back in england an was looking on trying to see some of the clubs out there how do i do it
Hi Jordan; if you will be in Barcelona in the next couple of days, please email me at russ@marijuanagames.org. If not, please wait to email me until 1 day before your arrival. In the meantime, it may be helpful to read some or all of the articles found at this link: http://marijuanagames.org/tag/barcelona-cannabis-clubs/ Peace -Russ
Hey man! Great articles and strain reviews! I especially enjoyed the one on cheese! My friend and I just finished being at Amsterdam and we are about to go to Barcelona and then to Madrid, so reading upon the recent situation and general information were great! But I was wondering, after reading your ABCDA article, I was planning to do something similar, stand out the club and chit-chat for awhile hoping for a sponsor, but given the recent atmosphere would you consider this a smart idea?
Hi Jin; No, that is definitely not a smart idea, and after the events of last month I doubt that it would work anyway. The best thing to do is to do things the right way and obtain a sponsor, provided you meet the normal conditions. Cheers -Russ
Hi!
I read your article about the clubs in Barcelona and I vould love to visit one with one with my sister and I would be really thankful If you could help us get into one of these clubs! I love Barcelona so far by the way.
Mark
Hi Mark; Indeed – Barcelona is an amazing city! Depending on your situation, I may be able to help you, but it’s easier to discuss via email at russ@marijuanagames.org. See you there. Peace -Russ
Hiya Russ, Thank you so much for your excellent articles. They really helped me understand the ins and outs of the Barcelona club scene. Please refer to the e-mail I sent you just now. thanks again.
Hi Russ, I stumbled upon this website while looking up information about marijuana culture in Spain. I am interested in checking out one of these private clubs in Barcelona and possibly procuring some Spanish green as well.
I see that you’ve provided an email address to contact; is it cool if I send a request your way? Thanks either way.
Regards,
David
Hi David; yes, email is the best way to contact me for all queries: russ@marijuanagames.org Peace -Russ
Hey Russ,
I will be in barcelona over the next week and was wondering if you could put me in connection with one of these clubs. While I do enjoy it for recreation, I have had a herniated disc in my back for several years, and smoking helps relieve some of the pain.
Let me know if anything is possible. Thanks!
Hi Jorge; in general medical users of cannabis receive preference for membership, so it is possible that I may be able to help you. Best practice is to send me an email at russ@marijuanagames.org. Peace -Russ
Hi Russ,
Thanks for the interesting article, I have wrote you a personal email, your advice appreciated..
Danny
Hi Russ.
Me and my friend are arriving in Barcelona, thursday the 10th of july, and we are going to be there for a week.
We are both older than 21.
We are curious to know, what do we have to do, for you to help us aquire a membership in a Barcelona weed club.
Best regards, Andres
Hi Andres; if you are specifically asking me to sponsor you at a club, it’s best to do so via email to russ@marijuanagames.org. Also, I encourage you to check out the blog on the site, where you will find tons more information about cannabis clubs in Barcelona. Peace -Russ
Hi there. My name is Giacomo and I come from Italy, so sorry if my English is not perfect:). I’ll be in bacelolona Tuesday 8 July with my friends and we would like to get some weed. May you tell me the name of some clubs which accept under 21 people, because we’re all 19.
Thank you very much. Giacomo
Hi Giacomo; right now there are very few clubs that permit members who are under 21. In fact, it is possible that new legislation in the coming year will make this a law, but we’re not sure yet. However, there may be an option available to you depending on your circumstances and whether you meet specific criteria or not. It’s best if you email me to discuss this in detail: russ@marijuanagames.org. Peace -Russ
Im interested in joining a club. Could you help me?
I COULD help you, but I’m not very motivated by messages devoid of salutations and common courtesy.
thank you again for the reponse i have 2 lasr queations then i ill leave you alone haha is thi ban soley in the city of barcelona or all of spain couldnt one be open in another part of spain also are there any good websites or anything you know of for more info on clubs in spain and such thanks again
The moratorium is for new cannabis clubs in Catalonia. I know next to nothing outside of this region. Not to be immodest, but this website is by far the most comprehensive and authoritative source of information about cannabis clubs in Barcelona. If the information you are looking for cannot be found on my site, then I honestly don’t know where else to point you. Good luck! Peace -Russ
Hello Russ Thank you for the information I appriciate it. Well i was not planning on penning one for about 14 months anyway do you think i should go ahead with it? And if.not ia there a way of getting involved growing or working at a social club?
I’m not sure how easy it is to get a job at a club or how that process works; your best bet will be to contact club management directly and find out if they’re hiring and what the requirements are – most will be happy to talk to you about it. As far as opening a club, I really don’t know much and what little I do know will almost certainly change by next year. Nevertheless, I encourage you to make an attempt once the moratorium on new clubs has been lifted. IF it is lifted. Peace -Russ
Hey Russ thanks for the info so would it be that difficult to actually get one started I wouldnt be doing this for about 14 months or so anyway and if not any info on being involved with growing out there or working at a marijuana social club just being involved out there thanks again
Hey Russ 🙂 I just sent you an e-mail, thanks in advance for all your help!
Thanks Jad, I’ll keep my eye out for it. Peace -Russ
how is it when i want to go camping near barcelona?? is a camping ground considered a private space… or public? could i smoke in my tent??
I’m not a Spanish lawyer, but if you are legitimately using a campground space and are inside your tent, I believe that would be construed as private and so technically you should be allowed to smoke in your tent. However, if the smoke escapes the tent and, for instance, floats over to the children’s tent next to you, then there could be a problem.
In general, just be discreet and make sure your smoke doesn’t bother anyone else. I smoke on hiking trails and mountain tops even though it’s technically “public” space, but I just make sure that no one is around.
Now, if you rent a caravan in a campground, then you should be all set unless the campground specifically forbids smoking inside.
Ola Russ ! Thanks a lot for your post here. Your experience is priceless.
Now me and my wife in Sitges, is there any opportunity to help us get God blessed herb here or you can help us only in Barcelona? 🙁
Sorry, I only have membership in clubs in Barcelona, but you can use my directory to find a CSC near you and then contact them directly. Good luck! Peace -Russ
Hi Russ, My girlfriend and I will be traveling to Barcelona August 15th and were wondering how we join/get in touch with clubs. Any information or help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
привет !янедавно зарегестрировался у вас но вся переписка странным образомм исчезла если можно примите меня ещё раз в carrer de maria cubi 194
Нет, я не спонсировать людей в Betty Boop и не рекомендую, чтобы любой пойти туда. Вы, вероятно, следует прочитать эту статью: http://marijuanagames.org/barcelona-cannabis-club-review-betty-boop-on-maria-cubi/
hi there! hope you are well,
travelling to Barcelona on the 23rd of July, been hooked up with two clubs (I think) but was wondering which are some of the better clubs with regards to extracts (wax, oil, et al) and also with variety of strains and good prices? thanks for your time, Andy. S
Hi Andy; based on my experience in Barcelona, Sweet Dreams offers the best extracts and concentrates, and I know for a fact that they actually hand make these items themselves. In general most cannabis clubs in Barcelona carry at least a few extracts, but overall this is not a major focus for a lot of clubs. Hopefully this will change in the coming years, as more information is spread about the benefits of these types of cannabis products. Peace -Russ
Hey Russ, I just sent you an email regarding a request for sponsorship. Waiting for your response 🙂 I was wondering if we meet up in person or if you sponsor me by calling the club. Either way works for me. Which club do you think is the best in terms of highest quality bud? Thanks man, appreciate all you do.
Hey Russ I’ll be in Barcelona in two days time. Currently traveling in France. Please email me so I can join one of these establishments. I’ll try to email you too.
I am holidaying in Barcelona from 15/08/2014 and was wondering if my girlfriend and I can get membership to an establishment before we go or is it better to wait until I get there. And the best place to stay near these establishments.
Regards
Barry Child
Hi Barry; the only way to get membership is under specific conditions and in person, so you’ll need to wait until you have arrived in the city in order to apply for membership. Peace -Russ
Me gustaria formar parte del club
thanks for this useful info. sent you an email!
thank you for taking the time to educate us all!
Hi Brooke; pretty sure I responded but if not just try again. Peace -Russ
Hi Russ
Very interested in checking these out while I’m in Catalonia – sent you an email. Cheers
Sent you a reply. Peace
Great post! Just sent you an email. Thanks!
Hi Russ! I’ve sent you email and I’m waiting for your reply;) Thanks for info and help. Peace!
Bonjour russ, je suis tombé sur votre site et bravo te trouve que c est bien que quelqu un face connaitre tout se qui entour la marjuana et tout ce qu elle implique.
Je cultive moi meme depuis des en suisse par plaisir des plantes , c est passionant et cela m amene aussi beaucoup de bien physiquement car j ai de gros probleme au bassin et aucun medecin et medicament a pu me soulager apare la marjruna…
Je suis actuellement sur barcelone et je serai tres interesser de decouvrire un club pr partager ma passion .
Alors je vs remerci d avance si vs pouvai m aider a me faire rentrer dans un club.
Et encor bravo et merci pr tt
Hello Russ I live in the states now and was just in Barca for 10 days amd fell in love I am am Italian citizen so apart of the EU I was curious to the process and the price to open one of these I have the Capitol amd the experience just need a little guidance thank you also do you have a FB account?
Hey Andrew;
Barcelona city council just passed a resolution to place a moratorium on any new cannabis clubs for at least one year. During this time they are going to research and investigate the current clubs and then will roll out further regulations next year. So it looks like opening up a new club will be a touch-and-go sort of project during the next 18 to 24 months.
Peace
-Russ
Hi there Russ! Thanks alot for this info-worthy blog post. I have sent You an email and I hope to hear from You. Peace!
Hi Russ,
This is an awesome website. I’ll be sending you an email- hopefully you’ll answer!
Cheers dude!
This is a well put together blog site filled with a lot of great content about associations in Barcelona. If you get a chance check out our website for our Association. Keep up the good work.
Good work Russ! I´ll be in touch. Cheers, Aleks Green, Marijuana International (BCN)
Hey Russ thanks for all you do. I’m in Barcelona and just sent you an email.
Hello there russ. Thanks for helping people like this. You have a big heart! Ive sent you an email and im hoping that you have the time to help another one! Peace!
Cheers for a well written and informative article. Just sent you an email, russ. Looking forward to hearing back from you.
Hi Dean; just got it, will respond shortly. Peace
Hey Russ, great website. Just sent you an email about this coming weekend. Two thumbs up to what you do!
OK cool; I haven’t checked in yet today but I will in the next hour and will look for your email. Thanks! Peace -Russ
Hi Russ ! Thanks for your article ! Really useful and interessant ! I think it’s important to respect the rules in a city where lot of strangers make trouble and where the people start to hate young tourist. I will arrive in Bcn tonight and i want to now if there’s good clubs who accept members from other countries than Spain !
Thanks for your your answer and have fun !
Séb.
Hey Russ thanks for the article. I’m studying in Barcelona for the next month and want to get involved with a club. Anyway you could help out? Thanks
Hi lain; responded via email. 😉
Cool article russ can u hook me up bro
be good to stock up on route to fib next month
Hi Mac; no problem – I will be happy to help. Just email me the day before you arrive in Barcelona at russ@marijuanagames.org. Talk to you then! Peace
Hey Russ, thanks for your article, really helped a lot. Im visiting Barcelona on Wednesday for 2 weeks so i would be nice to have a smoke sometimes. It would be grate ife u could help me out. Many Thanks Felix
Hi Felix; thanks for your comment. I will send you a message via email, so check your inbox for more information. Peace -Russ
Hey Russ
I am visiting Barcelona for the Sonar festival.
Unfortunately I do not know any members of a cannabisclub. I would be very pleased if you would help me to become a member. Thanks, Jon
Hi Russ,
Visiting BCN 8/6-13/6 with my son on a victory trip on his accomplishments of finishing a engineering degree.
I’m a Rn and don’t believe smoking anything is a healthy choice. I do believe cannabis definitely has its purpose in health care and a better choice for relaxation. I am a firm believer and user of medicated edibles. I really would like to experience a club and support one as well.
Any ideas if and where I might be able to get a hold of edibles. Helps a lot with anxiety and head aches I experience. Cheers
Hi Chris; my congratulations to your son for his achievement! Edibles are tough to come by in Barcelona, and on the rare occasions when I have found them, they didn’t do anything for me. The best chance to find them is probably at Green Age or La Mesa – reviews for both can be found on this site. But whether they have any edibles available when you are there will almost certainly be hit-or-miss.
I agree with you about smoking ANYTHING not being a good health choice, and to this end edibles are the best option. In Colorado they have the edibles situation figured out. But in Barcelona (and all over the Netherlands, too) the main focus is on premium flowers and concentrates.
Hi Russ,
Thanks for your kind offer. It would be great if you could introduce/recommend me to a club near Placa de Catalunya. I use cannabis in the US to self medicate for a condition we can discuss if you like. Needless to say, the officially sanctioned big pharma medical treatments are nasty sh#t indeed with nasty side effects, e.g teeth falling out, 30+ Kg weight gain, etc.
I’m in BCN today, 06-Jun, until late next week. Do you think you can help?
Thanks,
Vincent
P.S. Candidly, My usage isn’t for purely medicinal purposes I find the sacred herb to be a wonderful life enhancement. And the clubs here sound like fun.
Hi Vincent; no problem; I will be happy to help and legitimate medical users always get priority status with me and at the clubs. I will send you an email with more details, so check your inbox. Peace -Russ
Hi, Im in barcalona for the day and im wondering if you can get me in one of these clubs , though im leaving tonight. Im 25 years old. Thank you
Hi Yousif; I think I got an email from you that I have already responded to this morning, so please check your inbox. Peace -Russ
Heya, thanks for the info – really useful! Am coming to barca next week with a friend and would be really grateful if you could help get us sorted! Shall email the day before like you have said on other comments if that’s alright.
Cheers.
Sounds great Betty – we’ll talk to you then. 😉
Hi russ, im going to be in bcn from monday untill the end of june, quick question, is the weed you buy at these clubs exclusively for use in the club? or can you take some back to your apartment and smoke it there? the apartment im staying in is meant to have a rooftop terrace that overlooks the city, would be awsome to be able to light up there.
Hi Joss;
Take a look at paragraph 6 of this article:
http://marijuanagames.org/coffee-shops-in-barcelona-how-to-get-membership/
It explains everything related to your question. Lots of other good info in that article too. 😉 Peace
Hi Russ, thanks so much for your article, it was really informative as I was finding it difficult to get any info!do these clubs also have medicinal oil? Would like to chat to you more if that’s possible? Thank you jessie 🙂
Hi Jessie;
That’s a tough question to answer. Some clubs do, and some clubs don’t. Some sell a lot of concentrates and run out often, while some don’t sell any concentrates and their product ages. A few clubs do it right; Sweet Dreams is an excellent example that comes to mind. But it’s really hit-or-miss, which is why so many people who live in and visit Barcelona have membership at multiple clubs. Ultimately, I prefer raw flower so I may not be the best person to ask about oils and other concentrates. If you have other questions please email me at russ@marijuanagames.org and I will address them there. Peace -Russ
Hi thanks for a very informative article! I am in Barcelona from Wednesday and would very much like to join a club. Do you refer people to a particular club? or is there a choice? 🙂 looking forward to hearing from you, Elly
Hi Elly; Well, I can only refer people to the clubs I am a member of. It’s also based on your age, so there are a few variables to consider. Best thing to do is to email me at russ@marijuanagames.org and we can discuss it further there. Peace -Russ
Hello Russ,
Thank you for your informative articles. There are a lot of sites about cannabis clubs and Spain’s marijuana policy, but I’ve yet to find a clearer explanation than yours. I will be spending some time in Barcelona over the next few weeks, and I would be so grateful if you could help me become a member of a proper club. I will e-mail you the day before I arrive. Thank you so much!
Sincerely,
Sallie
Thanks for your comments, Sallie! I look forward to hearing from you. 😉 Peace -Russ
Hey,
Im living in BCN and interested in jointing a couple clubs. I’ve read most of your reviews and was leaning towards Sweet Dreams or Greenage. Im want a place that I can take my Dad (who is an authentic aging hippy from San Francisco ) that has great ambiance and maybe meet some cool people. Do you have any suggestion? Do I need a referral for the clubs I am considering and if so, how can I get one?
Thanks!
Phoebe
Hi Phoebe; Yes, you need a referral to join any club in Spain; not sure if you read the article you are commenting on, but if not you should as it explains all of this in detail. I will send you private message so check your email and we can talk about it there. Peace -Russ
Hey Russ,
Great to see you helping people new to the BCN scene. I will be traveling to BCN on June 6th, staying a few days. I would like your help becoming a member of a club. I will email you the day before we arrive like you have asked others to do on this forum. Thanks again for doing what you are doing here. Peace.
Neil
Awesome -thanks for paying attention, Neil – I really appreciate that. I look forward to hearing from you on June 5th. 😉
Hey Russ 🙂 V helpful article so thanks a lot! I will be in Barcelona for two months from 10th June, would it be possible for you to help me get a membership? Take care- Flora
Hi Flora; Of course – I will be happy to assist you when you are in Barcelona. Just email me the day before you arrival at russ@marijuanagames.org and we’ll go from there. Peace -Russ
Hey Russ! I’ll be in barcelona end of the june for language school (coming from turkey)and probably i will stay in a some kind of student dormitory. i really dont know how things work there .Can you help me to get membership cuz i dont know anyone from barcelona . One more thing is can i use marijuanna at my dorm room? Is it a private area like home?
Hi Naz; whether you can smoke in your dorm rooom or not depends on the rules set by whomever owns the dorm. So it’s hard to say, but you can certainly smoke in the clubs! All you need to do is email me the day prior to your arrival in Barcelona at russ@marijuanagames.org and I will make the necessary arrangements then. Peace -Russ
Hi Ross,
I’ll be visiting spain from canada at the end of may. Would it be possible for me to get a membership? Please let me know if i can email you to get some more information!
Thank you
Hi Moral; sure, I will be happy to assist you. All you need to do is email me the day prior to your arrival in Barcelona at russ@marijuanagames.org. Until then, take care. peace -Russ
Hi Ross, im wondering if there are any Cannabis clubs in Valencia, Spain that you can recommend im planning to go there in December.
Thanks! 🙂
Hi Tammy; I can’t think of any off the top of my head, but if there are any you can find them in our marijuana directory located here: http://marijuanagames.org/marijuana-directory/ Peace -Russ
Hi Ross, i’ll be in barcelona in the middle of june. My hotel is at Carrer de Sancho de Ávila, 22
08018 Barcelona, Spain, i think the neighborhood called Sant marti. Can you recommand me some shops near that area?
Hi Lurenz; the only shops I can recommend are the ones I have reviewed: http://marijuanagames.org/category/cannabis-club-reviews/
Hello Russ !
Do you know clubs in llorent de mar ? Or near that village ?
Hey Jack; sorry, I don’t know of any in that area off the top of my head. However, you can check our directory and maybe you’ll find something: http://marijuanagames.org/marijuana-directory/
Great article! I will be sending you an email in a few days time. I will arrive to Barcelona next monday. I will be staying in Arco de Santa Eulalia 1. I know one club nearby but I was wondering if you could recommend some other clubs too. I’ll get back to you soon.
Keep up the good work!
Hi MrGreen; the best thing to do is check the club reviews section of the site here: http://marijuanagames.org/category/cannabis-club-reviews/
Hi Russ,
I’m from UK and own some land near Barcelona, I’m currently building a home there and seriously considering opening a cannabis club in the city. Do you have any advice for someone wishing to start a club legally and safely within Barcelona. I’m a highly expierenced grower of over 10 years and would love to put my experience into producing quality weed in a friendly club for everyone to enjoy. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Paul; there is new legislation/regulation coming to the cannabis club scene in Barcelona. These regulations will likely pass in late May or sometime in June, and it’s difficult to say what exactly they will be comprised of. Therefore, I really can’t provide any advice at this time except to wait and see what happens with the new regulations… Peace -Russ
I’m also from the uk and recently deciding wether or not to head out to Barcelona to set one up myself, please get in contact if you decide to go through with it
Hi Russ,
I am currently in Barcelona, how would I become a member?
Thanks,
Patrick
Hi Patrick; no problem; just send me an email at russ@marijuanagames.org and tell me when you want to go and I will make the arrangements. peace
Hello Russ, i will be going to Sevilla for the feria, do you know any clubs in Sevilla? help would be greatly appreciated as i dont feel safe taking it from amsterdam on the plane…
Hi Joppes; I don’t know of any clubs personally, but you can check the directory on my site to find out if there are any clubs and how to contact them: http://marijuanagames.org/marijuana-directory/ Also, I hear often about people that freely take cannabis from Amsterdam to Barcelona without any problems, primarily because both regions have liberal marijuana laws. I’ve never done it so I can’t vouch for the practice, but as I said many people do it without any problems. Just make sure you don’t have a layover or transfer in a non-420-friendly country. Good luck and hit me up if you find yourself in BCN! Peace ~Russ
Dear Russ, we will come at 16. April and we will stay for 6 days in barcelona. We´ll have a residence in barri Gotic. Do you have an idea where there is a nice club in the near and can you help me to come in?
best regards kathrin
Hi Kathrin; Yes, there are several clubs in the area, and I will be happy to sponsor you for membership at one when you arrive in Barcelona. Just check your email for more details. Peace ~Russ
Hi Russ: great article! I”ll be arriving to Bcn this coming Thurs. Apr. 17 w/ my wife. We”d like to check out a nice easy going club, if possible the Green Age which you recomended. thanks. Take care man!
Hello again Guy; yes, I will be happy to assist you with membership. Check your email for more details. Peace ~Russ
Hey man, great article. Appreciate the thoroughness.
I am in Barcelona the first 2 weeks of June and I am looking on locking up a spot to grab some weed.
Any advice? Places you can direct me? Thanks in advance, I left my email.
Hi Matt; No problem; just send me an email at russ@marijuanagames.org the day before you arrive in Barcelona and I will make the necessary arrangements for you to join a club. Until then, take care. Peace ~Russ
Hi I’m in Barcelona for one more day where do you recommend to go?
Hi B; well it depends on your age and personal tastes, but I have some favorites that I can recommend. Check your email for more details. Peace ~Russ
Hi Russ, I would like to set up my own cannabis club in Barcelona but have no idea of how to go about it. Any information would be great!! Thanks, Dan
Hi Dan; new legislation and regulations for cannabis are coming to Barcelona in a month, so I can’t really give you any good advice until it passes or fails. Keep your eye on the news and hit me up again in June. peace -Russ
Hi Russ,
I’m going to be coming out to Spain in July and would like to know how to obtain a membership/licence to start growing out there!
Many thanks
Hi Simon; new legislation and regulations for cannabis are coming to Barcelona in a month, so I can’t really give you any good advice until it passes or fails. Keep your eye on the news and hit me up again in July. peace -Russ

Hi, mate heading over at the start of May and was wondering if could get some help and info in joining 1 maybe 2 different clubs. Head RDM is really good but apart from that don’t know much really. Staying just off la rambla. Thanks in advance
Hi Dean; thanks for checking out my site! My favorite club in Barcelona is Green Age and I strongly recommend it. You can read about this club here: http://marijuanagames.org/barcelona-cannabis-club-review-green-age/ There are some other good ones too. My suggestion is to simply email me the day before you arrive in Barcelona and I will be happy to assist you. Until then, take care. Peace ~Russ
Thanks russ, will be in touch
Russ,
Just wanted to check if you received the email I just sent.
Hi John; I sure did, and I responded just a few minutes ago. I’ll talk with you more there. 😉
Hey Russ,
Thanks for the info. Anyway I’ll be in Barcelona from 3/4-5/4… where should I sign up?
Hi Sam; personally, I think Green Age is the best club in the city- you can read about it here: http://marijuanagames.org/barcelona-cannabis-club-review-green-age/. Just send me an email the day before you arrive in Barcelona and I will be happy to assist you. Peace ~Russ
Hi, I’m Carole from UK and staying near les rambles, only here til Sunday. Any chance you could get me an introduction for a club nearby? Help much appreciated.
Hi Carole; sure thing; check your email. 😉
Hey Russ ! First of all congratulation for your website ! Very coooool, interesting and helpful.
I’m contacting you for information, so i’m 20, from france and i will come barcelone in April.
Before find your website i managed to contact 2 canabis club ( and they agree that i come ) the two club is : LA RAMBLA DRAGON and A.L.A, do you know this club ? Are they good ?.
Clubs in your review are really cool and good but the minimum age is 21 ….. So do you know a good club in the same spirit with a 18 minimum age ..?
Sorry for my bad english … Keep this up for you website !! Thanks
Hi Clement; Sorry, but many of the clubs in my reviews allow members who are 18+. Alhambra, for instance, is where most people who contact me under the age of 21 ultimately get membership without any troubles. I am not familiar with A.L.A., but I am familiar with Dragon and recommend the club for people who like very tourist-oriented places. Personally, that style is not for me. However, there’s nothing that says you can’t join more than one club and try out different styles to find out what you like.
Hi Russ!
I am staying in Barcelona for a week. In a hotel at carre de balmes, not too far from la rambla. Any good clubs you recommend nearby?
Hi Russ!
I have also tried to contact you for a few days. All my emials bounce back and I have tried sending from both gmail and hotmail.
I’m in Barcelona at the moment but will stay a while so no worries but you should know it’s impossible to contact you at the moment.
Today I discovered a ABCDA club in carrer de mar in Barceloneta! Don’t know if you know about it since your review was for a different address. Would be great to get into tjat one since its very vlose to the beach.
Keep up the good work!
Hi Adam;
Yes, I did know about ABCDA in Barceloneta; it is a different branch of the one in my review. It’s very small and just meant for quick in-and-out service. Anyway, I will hit you up on email.
Hi Russ, I love your articles. I sent you an email a while back, but it never went through. Would you mind emailing me so we could discuss memberships when I come to visit Barcelona in the summer?
Thanks so much, keep up the good work!
Hey Russ, awesome article man very handy indeed. Me and 3 mates are doing a trip around Europe in July/august and would be looking to join a club. Any help you could offer would be much appreciated!
Greetings Russ!
So I’ve reading your articles (How to get marijuana in Barcelona and 10 Things you need to know about Barcelona Cannabis Clubs) and I have some questions I wish you could answer. I would also like to know if you could help me suceed in getting a membership card. Could you maybe contact me through email? Or can you give me one so I can contact you? Thank you and great website! 🙂
Hi Russ,
Great site!!!
I tried to contact you by email but it bounced back today. Did you get it?
Thanks
Hello russ, we are visiting barcelona from today till saturday and want to join a social club. Can you help us here?? Please contact me directly be email. Thanks and regards martin
Hi Russ. Same question as Mr. Celli, but in the Costa Almeria region
Hi Sharon; I’m not familiar with that region, but our marijuana directory should be helpful. Just search by the specific towns you are looking for weed in.
Hey Russ. Just got to hotel santos porta fira. Totally hoping you could point us in the right direction !
Brilliant thankyou Russ do I just comment on this to get in touch with you
You can use Russ@MarijuanaGames.org. < <<>>>Sorry everyone, this said a different domain extension and so some emails were getting bounced back. Please use russ@marijuanagames.org to contact me, or you can use the site’s contact form without any trouble.
Hey Russ could you help me with a membership
Hey Russ am coming to Barcelona in May and I was hoping you could help me with a sponsor would be great to hear from you for some info thanks
Hi Sam;
Great, we look forward to seeing you in BCN! It’s too early to arrange anything now, but if you email me the day before you arrive in the city I will be happy to assist you. peace -Russ
Hi Russ,
My boyfriend and I just arrived in Barcelona and are staying for the week. We are looking for some marijuana and the Cannabis Clubs sound perfect but we are just visiting for a short period of time. If you could e – mail us with some suggestions that would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Victoria
Hi Victoria;
The only safe and legal option I know of is for one of you to join a club, get what you need, and then bring it wherever you want. I’ll send you an email to see if I can be of assistance. Peace -Russ
Hi Russ.
Thank you for a very informative article. Just what i needed 🙂
Im in Barcelona for a few months and would appreciate getting a reference/sponsor for a club, if possible.
Im staying in Born, near Jaume metrostation.
Regards,
Tomas
Hi Tomas;
Thanks! Are you in Barcelona now? I’ll send you an email with more info. peace
Hi Russ,
Thanks for the info on this website, just wondering if I could get some more info!
Cheers
🙂
Hi Russ,
I have sent you an email, appreciate if you can assist me 🙂 all the above comments sounds cool but still need your assistance,
thank you
Whoops, just caught this now, but I actually already replied via email. 😉
Hello Russ! I moved to Barcelona this year, and I am interested in getting a membership, and after reading some of your reviews I was thinking about 420 club. If you can help me with that, please contact me . Thank you 🙂
Hi there! Congrats on moving to Barcelona – isn’t it an incredible city? 420 club is great too, I’ll send you some more details about it via email. Thanks for stopping by! Peace -Russ
Hi Russ,
Thanks for all of your information. I’ve read a bunch of your articles and they’re very helpful.
I arrived in Barcelona last week and I’ll be here for the next 6 months with several other people who will probably also want to go to the clubs. How soon after I get membership would I be able to sponsor them and is there a limit to sponsorships?
Also, are you able to suggest some good ones based on my preferences? Somewhere central, fairly intimate and very cosy would be great. A friendly kind of place that just feels like someone’s living room. If not, no worries.
Thanks for your help,
Nicholas.
Hi Nicholas;
Ah! Good questions. I thought I covered everything in the post, but this is a good point. Once you become a member, there is a 24-48 hour waiting period for most clubs. Some might require a longer waiting period, but I haven’t run into any of those yet. After the waiting period is over, you may sponsor your friends for membership. I’m not certain about limitations but as with all things related to cannabis right now, we want to keep things quiet and discreet until the powers-that-be pull the stick out of their asses.
The three most centrally-located clubs that I recommend the most are Alhambra, 420 and Dragon. Anyway, I’ll send you an email and we can discuss it more. Thanks for stopping by!
Peace
-Russ
VERY INFORMATIVE FOR US THANKS SO MUCH, MY HUSBAND AND I WILL BE VISITING IN APRIL 16-18 AND ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED
Hi Pam;
Thanks for your comment! You’re coming to Barcelona right after spring break, so your timing should be pretty good. 😉 I’d be happy to help you, just email me the day before you arrive in BCN and we’ll go from there. Until then, PEACE -Russ
Hi Russ!
I’ve read all of your articles and reviews of clubs the last few days. Good job!
I’m going to Barcelona in mid february and will be staying for three months. I dont know anyone there and can only speak a few words of spanish. It would be great if you could sponsor me for atleast one of the top clubs. I’m also interested in joining a club with spanish lessons (are there any more than Kush offering this?).
Have a nice day! Kudos for your work!
Hi Adam;
Thanks for checking out the site!
Yes, a number of Barcelona’s cannabis clubs offer Spanish lessons in addition to Kush. I’ll check it out and let you know prior to your arrival. Just email me the day before you arrive in BCN, and I’ll take care of everything.
Peace
-Russ
Hey, I’m visiting Barcelona, early feb an d looking to have a nice smoke before taking in the culture and architecture, i’d appreciate it if you could hook me up with a sponsorship!
Hi Russ
Amazing article!
myself and fiancee just arrived Barcelona last night
& tried to have somewhat herbal enjoyment 🙂
I;m currently stay at the hotel near Catalunya area.
Please help us out the get some herbals (don’t matter club membership or just get some herbals). Since we are from Dubai we need it haha
Hi Andy;
Welcome to Barcelona! How long will you guys be around for? I’d much rather see you get sponsored for membership than buy off the street, so look for an email from me with more details.
😉
Hello Russ!
Nice articles, I LOVE Barcelona and planning on returning in March around Spannabis. I’ve heard about these clubs and would be great if you could help me with a membership! Hook me up with some details?
Saludos desde New Mexico! 🙂
Hello Russ,
I’m a relatively recent Barcelona resident, and
