The main cannabis tourism experiences in Barcelona include guided, invitation-only visits to private cannabis social clubs (CSCs), cultural routes on the local history of cannabis, and educational workshops (infusion tasting, THC-free cooking, basic cultivation, and harm reduction talks). Everything takes place in private settings and in compliance with the law: consuming or carrying cannabis in public spaces can lead to administrative fines ranging from €601 to €30,000 (Citizen Security Law), while sale or trafficking is punishable under the Criminal Code.
Why Choose Barcelona for Cannabis Tourism
Barcelona has long been a benchmark for its private association scene, but the framework is not a “free-for-all”: in 2018, the Constitutional Court annulled the Catalan Cannabis Associations Law, and the courts struck down the municipal urban plan. As a result, the City Council continues inspections and closures of entities that exceed their remit. We focus on legal security and 100% private, educational activities.
At Cannabis in Barcelona, we have years of experience facilitating safe and legal access to social clubs, organising informative routes and responsible workshops. We guide you step by step so you can enjoy your experience without risks or unpleasant surprises.
Types of Cannabis Tourism Experiences in Barcelona
1. Visits to Private Social Clubs
The most popular option. These are non-profit, private associations: access is by invitation and registration only, consumption is limited to the club’s premises, and there is no public sale or street activity. We manage your invitation, verify requirements (adults only; many clubs require 21+) and explain the internal rules and best practices.
2. Cultural and Themed Routes
We design tours through neighbourhoods such as Raval or Gràcia to explore the history of the association movement, street art, and regulatory evolution. These are informative routes (non-consumption) that help you navigate the current context of increased municipal control.
3. Cannabis Workshops and Pairings
We offer hands-on, educational workshops with experts: THC-free infusions and cooking, small-scale organic cultivation, and responsible dosing sessions (no medical advice). We also keep you up to date on inspections of CBD shops and related products, so you know what is permitted and what is not.

Tips for a Safe and Legal Experience
- ID and age: bring your passport or ID card. Minimum age 18; many clubs apply 21+ as an internal policy.
- No public spaces: avoid carrying or consuming outside the club; the Citizen Security Law provides for fines starting at €601.
- No driving: driving with drugs in your system carries a €1,000 fine and -6 points; if under the influence, it can be a criminal offence.
- Parked vehicles: since May 2025, the Interior Ministry has instructed the Police and Civil Guard not to issue administrative fines for consumption/possession in parked private cars without signs of trafficking; however, we do not recommend it (road safety and possible interpretations). Do not drive.
- Changing context: Barcelona has intensified club closures in 2025. We confirm the club’s operational status on the day of your visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be a resident to join a social club?
No. Each association sets its own requirements; with a passport/ID and prior invitation, we can usually process your registration without issue (subject to club availability and rules).
Can I take cannabis outside the social club?
It’s not recommended. Carrying or consuming in public spaces can result in fines (€601–€30,000). Keep consumption — if any — inside the club.
How do I choose the right dose for me?
We apply harm reduction: start low, go slow, avoid mixing with alcohol, and do not consume if you are on medication or have health conditions without consulting a professional first.
Are there age restrictions?
The legal age is 18, although many clubs require 21+ by internal policy. We inform you before managing your invitation.
What if I don’t understand the registration process?
We help you by email and in our FAQ section with clear steps and screenshots.
