How to Join a Cannabis Social Club in Barcelona

Joining a cannabis social club in Barcelona is a straightforward process, but it follows specific rules designed to keep the associations private, safe, and non-profit. To become a member, you must be at least 18 years old (some clubs require 21+), provide valid identification such as a passport or NIE, and already be a habitual cannabis consumer. These clubs do not promote cannabis use — they only provide a controlled environment for existing consumers.

Most clubs also ask new members to sign a declaration of intention, confirming that you wish to join for personal, private consumption. Traditionally, you need a sponsor — an existing member who can introduce you — but some clubs allow applicants to join after an interview or online contact. Above all, respect is essential: clubs depend on their members to follow rules, behave discreetly, and maintain good relationships with neighbors.

To begin the process, simply complete the booking or contact form on the club’s website. Remember that each club operates independently with its own admission policies, so always confirm the exact requirements directly with the staff.
