If you’re looking to get marijuana in Barcelona, Spain you’ve come to the right place. Since writing this post in the fall of 2013 [UPDATED FOR 2018; Membership is available at the link below in this article] I’ve developed a number of great relationships with founding members of some of the best cannabis clubs in Barcelona, and I may be able to help you get weed in Barcelona. Sharing this experience with other people is awesome and I love to do it, so don’t be afraid to hit me up. Just remember that it is still illegal to smoke pot in public in Spain; you may only do so in the privacy of your home or a private club.

Now here’s the original full post from 2013:
Need to know how to get marijuana in Barcelona, Spain? I did too, until about a week ago when I moved to Barceloneta; a Barrio of Barcelona. I smoke pot several times a day, so when I moved here I did tons of research about how to get marijuana in Barcelona, and none of what I found turned out to be entirely true. Thankfully, I’m sitting here right now with three types of badass weed and a huge hash turd, and if you can make your way through this post I’ll tell you exactly how you can get marijuana in Barcelona safely.
Today is Sunday, the 6th of October, 2013. 6 days ago I flew here from Dusseldorf after cycling through the Netherlands and Germany. Our original intention was to cycle all the way to Barcelona, but as we approached Koln the roads became a little too dangerous for our liking, so we wrapped the bikes up and flew the rest of the way here.
We arrived in Barcelona in the early evening on Monday. By the time we got through baggage claim and made our way to the hotel, it
was late so we just went to bed. I had purchased a ton of weed and hash in Amsterdam, and then some more in Arnhem to be sure I had enough once I got here being that I couldn’t really confirm the way they play marijuana games here.
I Had to Ditch All My Weed in Order to Fly
This sucked, because I had to leave all of that behind in Dusseldorf. We smoked just before leaving for the airport and then dumped about 6 types of weed and several types of hash in the bushes in a waterproof bag for some lucky person to find some day. There was probably about 300 Euro worth of stuff in that bag, but I wasn’t about to chance getting caught with any of it while flying from Germany to Spain.
Anyway, the point is that the first night in our hotel we were dry and too tired to make an attempt to find something. But the next day we went to look at an apartment and spent much of the morning and afternoon with the taxi driver riding in circles after we gave him bad directions. Thankfully he called our liaison and got us situated, and he seemed to be a pretty cool guy.
His name was Antonio and he didn’t speak any English, so it wasn’t easy to have complete conversations, but eventually he agreed to find some marijuana for us. I paid to have him wait while we viewed an apartment, then he brought us back to the hotel. He said he could get about 5 grams for 50 Euro. He’d take the money and come back in 20 minutes.
Normally I would have said no thanks to that, but I liked this guy and he seemed legit. It was worth a 50 Euro chance.
Sure enough, he came back exactly twenty minutes later and gave me a package about the size of my thumb from the knuckle up. It was dark brown and looked like the tip of a cigar. It was wrapped up pretty tightly so I waited until I got back to my room to open it.
At first I was worried that the guy had just gone and gotten me some cocaine, but that wasn’t in the package when I unwrapped it. Of course, there wasn’t any marijuana in there either.
It was Actually Some Pretty Sweet Hash
It was a massive chunk of hash, and it was quite fresh. We rejoiced in the hotel room and filled the warm air with some mellow smoke.
But over the next few days that hash wore me down. It irritated my throat and dehydrated me, so I started looking for some green bud.
I had met another taxi driver named Alberto who had told me about marijuana clubs in Barcelona. He had volunteered to sponsor me, but then balked at the last minute. So I did some research and it turns out that you can get a membership in a private cannabis club in Barcelona. The fees are generally 20 Euro per year plus whatever pot you buy, and many of these weed clubs have oils, extracts and marijuana edibles available as well. I found a sponsor and off I went.
Getting Registered at a Cannabis Club in Barcelona
The club needed my passport and legal address in Barcelona in addition to a 20 Euro fee. I gathered these items and got on my bike. It was a crazy ride there as the club was across the city and there was no easy way to get there. When I was getting close I asked this adorable little Spanish cop where the street was, and she surprised me by pulling out a comprehensive street book. She asked me what number and then told me exactly how to get there. But it still wasn’t easy.
The club was the Betty Boop club located on Carrer Maria Cubi. Interestingly, the numbers on the opposite side of the street were odd and went down in sequence. The numbers on the club side were even and went up. It took me a couple of minutes to wrap my head around that.
Anyway, when I got to the club I buzzed at the main entrance and was admitted to a reception booth. A flirty little guy from Scotland
was there and he had me fill out a form on an ipad or something. (Never used one, could have been a tablet of some sort, IDFK) He made a copy of my passport, took my 20 Euros and issued me a registration card. Then he buzzed me through to the interior of the club.
There was a short hallway that opened into a long traditional bar. Various beers were for sale as well as coffee, tea and snacks. At the end of the bar was a compartmentalized box with a dozen or so different types of marijuana in it.
The bartender was friendly and pleasant to look at; from Barcelona, she welcomed me warmly and said I had made a good choice moving here. I agreed.
We hunched over the box together and she made some suggestions. I settled on three different types; 2 Sativas; Acapulco Gold & Grapefruit, and 1 Indica. The Indica was a local strain called Juanita.
I got a couple of grams of each and took them into the next room, which was a monstrous lounge with wall-to-wall couches and hassocks all the way around. There were two guys in the front and two guys in the rear (lol), so I found a place off to the side by myself.
I had ridden my bike pretty hard to get there and it was a hot day. Not only that but the club itself was a little stuffy and very hot. I was sweating profusely and probably looked like a freak, but I didn’t really give a shit. I crammed my new pipe full of the Grapefruit and took a few puffs. It was beautiful; light and airy, a little fluffy and indeed it left a slightly fruity but bitter aftertaste that was vaguely reminiscent of grapefruit.
It did the trick. I leisurely smoked the entire bowl while I tried to cool down. When I finally left and hopped on my bike, I was severely pie-eyed and had to take things a little slower than usual.
The Juanita (which went fast and was gone before I thought to take pictures of it) was good but unremarkable, really. I hate to say that as I love this city so far and don’t want to insult the locals, but that was my impression of this weed. However, I will say that it smokes easy. If you have a cold, a sensitive throat or just want something really mellow to smoke, then Juanita makes a good choice. But if you’re looking for an intense and memorable high, it might not be a good choice for experienced connoisseurs.
The Acapulco Gold I bought mainly because it’s a very old strain and I could not remember if I had ever tried it before. I’m certain I must have at some point in the 22 years I’ve been smoking, but I couldn’t think of anything specific. I’m glad I chose this legendary strain and it lived up to its reputation. It smokes pretty easy, has a chocolaty flavor and gives you a nice body buzz. However, it’s also a buzz that you feel up top, so you get the best of both worlds. I’ll probably get this again after I review a few more strains.
But the Grapefruit took the cake. Mmm mmm! That’s good stuff.
CLICK HERE TO APPLY FOR MEMBERSHIP NOW
(This is a preliminary application process valid as of June 2018; not all who apply will qualify for membership based on Spanish law and club policy. Application for membership is general and is not necessarily applied to any particular club unless the applicant fully qualifies.)
Interestingly, Betty Boop did not have any White Widow. Virtually every coffeeshop I’ve ever been to has had that strain, so I hope to find it here at another shop some day.
So if you’re looking for marijuana in Barcelona, you can get it safely, legally and at a reasonable price. I paid 50 Euro for those three strains, and I got 2 grams of each. I’m good with that.

Hi Russ,
I’m in my 30’s and a seasoned smoker. I have had the opportunity to smoke some nice Californian weed the past few years and enjoy the strains that have a high CBD content as I find this suits me better these days. I am staying in the Raval area in a few weeks. I notice from reviews on the web “The Clinic” seems to be reviewed as having wide variety of strains but could you recommend where I might find what I;m after if at all. Any help you could give to help me join would be appreciated if possible also on May 8th I’m arriving. Thanks,
Jim.
Hi Jim; I get this sort of question a lot and it can’t really be answered accurately. Each club carries different strains, AND each club changes those strains on average once every 10 days to 2 weeks. So it’s impossible to say which club has what without actually going there and finding out. I am not familiar with the club you mentioned, but can sponsor you at some very nice clubs with excellent medical strains and concentrates when you are in the city. Just email me the day before your arrival at russ@marijuanagames.org and I will be happy to help. Peace
Hello,
I would ask you what is the minimum age required? I’m 19 and I’m not sure of being able to enter everywhere.
Thanks!
Hi Andrea; the minimum age depends on the club. Some are 18+ and some are 21+. I recommend reading this article that will tell you everything you need to know about how the clubs in Barcelona work:
https://marijuanagames.org/10-things-you-need-to-know-about-barcelona-cannabis-clubs/
If you’d like to join a club, please email me at russ@marijuanagames.org
Thanks for stopping by! Peace -Russ

Hi Mickael; sure, I will be happy to help. Just email me at russ@marijuanagames.org
Hey Russ, any info on clubs in Madrid? Thanks!
Hi Amaya; there are some but not too many. I’m not a member of any so I can’t help you with membership, but I have a huge directory that you can use to try to find something suitable: https://marijuanagames.org/marijuana-directory/ Good luck, and if you go to a club there stop by and let us know your thoughts. Peace ~Russ
Hello, I came across your article after searching countless amount of times on the net on weed in barcelona. Im going there tomorrow for a mini holiday and I’ll defo need some weed. Would it be possible for u to sponsor me? Thanks dude.
Hi Zain; I will be happy to assist you. Check your email for details. Peace ~Russ

Hey man, great article and awesome site!
Just like Pedro below in the comments I’m looking to register at one of the clubs and wondered if I could grab some more info plus a referral off you?
Thanks a lot man!
Jake
Hi Jake; Sure thing. Just check out the article I linked Pedro to, and you can also check out all of our cannabis club reviews here:
https://marijuanagames.org/category/cannabis-club-reviews/ I’ll send you an email with more information, but the general practice is to email me at russ@marijuanagames.org the day before your arrival in the city, or just let me know a good time and day if you’re already in BCN. peace -Russ
Hi Russ, how are you? Im in Barcelona for the week and would like to meet the clubs. Can I just go there with my passport and register?
Thanks a lot!
Pedro
Hi Pedro; Thanks for checking out my site! Unfortunately, no, you cannot just go and register at a club. Clubs are private by law in Barcelona, so you MUST have a current member sponsor you in order to gain entry. The good news is that I can help! First, you should read this article which will tell you everything you need to know about how the cannabis social clubs in Barcelona work: https://marijuanagames.org/10-things-you-need-to-know-about-barcelona-cannabis-clubs/ Second, check your email for more details. peace ~Russ
Hi Russ,
I read through your article and I would very much appreciate it if you could help me get in touch with a current member so that I may visit a club. I just arrived in Barcelona today and will be here for the next few days. Please email me when you have a chance.
Thank you,
Sofia
Hola Sofia; please email your request to me at russ@marijuanagames.org, and we can discuss it there. Best wishes. Peace -Russ
Hello there! Really enjoyed your post. I’m comming to Barcelona this Friday just for six days, so I don’t know if it is a good idea to try and join a club. Any ideas on how to get some good quality of not too overpriced weed safely in my situation? Thanks
Hi D; of course, I will be happy to assist you. Yes, it is definitely worth it to become a member of a cannabis club, even for 6 days. The experience is worth just one day and many people only visit once. But over the course of 6 days you will find there is a lot to do at a good social club, and you can always head there to have a safe and relaxed place to toke up. So if you are coming this Friday for 6 days, I strongly recommend the Green Age cannabis club. You can read my review of this club here: https://marijuanagames.org/barcelona-cannabis-club-review-green-age/ Just send me an email at russ@marijuanagames.org and let me know when you want to go and I will make the necessary arrangements. Peace ~Russ

I wrote an article that you should read that will tell you everything you need to know about Barcelona cannabis social clubs; https://marijuanagames.org/10-things-you-need-to-know-about-barcelona-cannabis-clubs/ All you need to do is email me at russ@marijuanagames.org the day before your arrival in BCN, and I will be happy to assist you in obtaining membership.

Nadeem
Hi Nadeem; no problem, I’ll send you an email and see if I can help. Peace ~Russ
Hi Russ glad I found your site I am going to salou in a couple of months and will be making a trip to Barcalona for the day.Would it be possible for u to take me to a club so I can get enough medicine for my stay in Spain thx hope to hear back from u soon
Hi John; of course, I will be happy to help. It’s a little too early to arrange anything now, so all you need to do is email me the day before you arrive in Barcelona and I will make all the necessary arrangements at that time. Don’t forget that there are clubs in other parts of Spain, too, so you technically don’t need to load up too much in Barcelona. To check for cannabis clubs in the other parts of Spain that you will be traveling to, please help yourself to our Marijuana Directory, which will help you find what you need. Peace ~Russ
Hi Russ,
I’m going to barcelona for a weekend 6-8 June and looking to get some cannabis while I’m there.
If you could please advise me on the best place to purchase this safely I’d really appreciate it.
Great arrival, and look forward to some grapefruit!!
Kindest regards
Lawrence
Hi Lawrence; sure thing. Right now I think the best club in the city is Green Age, which you can read about here: https://marijuanagames.org/barcelona-cannabis-club-review-green-age/. Of course, there are plenty of other options depending on your taste, and you are always welcome to join more than one club. Just send me an email at russ@marijuanagames.org the day before you arrive in Barcelona and I will be happy to assist you. Peace -Russ
Hey Russ,
Glad I found this site. I’m going to Barcelona for a little vacation. Would be great if you can help me out finding a good stuff while I’m there. I’ll be there on mid april. But I’ll contact you a day or two before I go there. If it’s not too much trouble to ask tho.
Peace,
Ed
Sounds good Ed; I look forward to hearing from you. Peace ~Russ
Hi Russ,
Thanks for all the helpful insight into the club culture of Barcelona. My husband and I will be visitng there for a week starting April 1st and am excited with the information you have provided. I am hoping you can sponsor us. We are staying in the El Born area in a loft on Carrer de la Princesa street, so we will have a local address to provide.
Kindly,
Crystal
Hi Crystal; sounds great – that area is very nice. It’s too early to arrange anything right now, but check your email as I’ve sent you some information and we can discuss it more easily there. Peace ~Russ
