Barcelona Cannabis Club Review: LaMente

Posted 25 CommentsPosted in Cannabis Club & Dispensary Reviews

One look inside La Mente cannabis club of Barcelona is all it takes to realize it is not your average stoner den.

Truthfully, this is the kind of spot I have been looking for in Barcelona; an upbeat place to hang out for an hour or two to do some writing away from my apartment; a happy contrast from the heavily wood-paneled cafés of the city. The fact that the LaMente cannabis social club hosts a good variety of marijuana strains and plenty of electrical sockets is a major added bonus. Read Full Club Review Here

Posted 20 CommentsPosted in Marijuana News

Comparing Barcelona cannabis social clubs to Amsterdam coffee shops isn’t easy.
