It might sound transgressive to people who still are not aware of this reality, but yes, marijuana is legal in Barcelona. What does this mean? It’s simple: it means that you can smoke weed and whatnot in peace in one of the many clubs. Note though that we are not talking about “Ganjaland” but about one of the most modern and evolved cities of Europe. This means that legalization has gone through a thoughtful and carefully assessed process in every aspect.
The assessment of this turning point has produced an impactful analysis able to drive authorities to the best possible outcome. In other words, they thought about smokers and the community as a whole by reducing illegal drug dealing and criminality, no small stuff!
This is only one of the many positive effects given that marijuana is legal in Barcelona also for other reasons. For example, the government has taken into account employment because marijuana just like tobacco needs workforce to be produced. Imagine all the production process all the way to the sales counters in the clubs and think of all the people who grow, transport, distribute and resell marijuana.
The common error is to think of it as something alien and negative when it actually isn’t. You can freely smoke in Barcelona’s clubs without risking a fine or persecution, representing an opportunity for whoever loves smoking. There are at least twenty different clubs in the city where you can go and smoke marijuana while comfortably laying on a sofa and drinking beer.
The cultural level changes and produces income
As we mentioned already we are talking about a flourishing market that is continuously growing. The choice of Spain on this matter has been clear and precise: it has regulated a phenomenon that would have otherwise brought disorder in the city. A little more than 20 years ago the capital of Catalonia was also the capital of illegal drug dealing with widespread criminality. Today this phenomenon is only a memory and it seems like drug dealing will disappear soon. Marijuana is legal in Barcelona for these reasons and it is able to attract a vast pool of people from all over Europe. For the Spanish region this means higher income therefore higher economic resources coming from other European citizens to the local benefit of the city.
This shows that legal marijuana in Spain is neither casual nor reckless, but rather the result of a contemporary and smart choice. Spanish people are definitely happier knowing that there are places such as the cannabis clubs rather than illegal drug dealing happening in the streets. Today the city is flourishing of commercial activities and tourism and it welcomes millions of tourists every year, many of which coming for cannabis. The popularity and the fame of legal cannabis in Barcelona have reached many countries, outclassing the other known city of Amsterdam, especially for the good weather.
Where to legally smoke marijuana
Marijuana is legal in Barcelona but this doesn’t mean that you can smoke it anywhere given that it is not allowed to smoke it in the streets. In Barcelona there are specific cannabis clubs that you can join through membership and where you can smoke and support local producers within the law.
Everyone is happy about it: not only the smokers but also the entire community that indirectly benefits from this decision. Joining a club is easy and you can do so by going on the Weedjam website where you can easily subscribe and do everything online. Once subscribed you will be able to access the cannabis clubs, smoke and enjoy nice nights out in good company with music and drinks.
Nothing transgressive here: you go to these places to spend time in company, to smoke one of the many available varieties of marijuana and to socialize. The great thing about this is that besides the service offered you are contributing to the collective acknowledgment that there is nothing bad about it but rather the opposite.
The best way to exorcise every negative feeling is to visit one of these cannabis clubs so as to experience in person and have a real opinion about them. If you’ve never tried marijuana before, next time you go to Barcelona could be your occasion to try it legally. You will realise that everything is very pleasant, especially in cannabis clubs where the vibe is joyful and friendly.
Going to Barcelona to smoke, why not?
Every year thousands of people of every age reach Barcelona to smoke. There is nothing unusual: better to do it for this reason than for worse ones given that smoking has never harmed anyone. Especially now that criminality has no power in the now legal market, the environment looks more liveable and healthy.
This is the case now because illegality and criminality prosper where there are nonsense bans just like it happened in the past century with cannabis. The world changes and if someone asks you whether cannabis is legal in Barcelona now you know how to answer: it is, thank goodness!
Right now Barcelona represents the “promised land” to youngsters, a place where transgression here is seen as normality there. Smoking marijuana shouldn’t be forbidden, just like cigarettes or hard liquors that instead are dangerous for the body. Just think that in many of these clubs hard liquors are not sold, how crazy is that?
The world changes quickly, this is why a mentality resistant to changes can endure backlashes due to the cultural limitation of some people. Besides that, marijuana is legal in Barcelona, a sign that the world can change for the better if it really wants it. For the time being we will smoke in Barcelona 🙂
Okay, it is impossible not to talk about it given that the theme of these days strikes us. According to the Minister Salvini cannabis is dangerous. Yes, just like sugar. Of course, if you abuse of it then your teeth fall! Well, this outing is definitely not informed and it implies the lack of awareness of the Minister. Unfortunately, while he is stating this the European elections are running and we hope it is only a propagandistic “boutade”…
However, we cannot fail to notice some points which sound exaggerated, almost ridiculous. Associating cannabis to heavy drugs is the result of misinformation and bad faith. In Italy this obviously made a noise, because the threat of closing down stores causes not only sensation but also economic damage. There are more or less 1000 stores where legal cannabis is sold, although with a reduced percentage of THC and admitted by the State.
To whose who are telling themselves that “cannabis is dangerous”, we can only say that it is less than alcohol and the reckless use of cigarettes. Needless to say that hospitals are not full of patients whose causes are to be found in “joints”! Instead, there are millions of alcoholics and heavy smokers, that the State coincidentally represented by Salvini, is happily profiting from.
The Minister has declared that he wants to fight against the drugs phenomenon and to protect public health. Alright, we all agree on this, but what is the link with cannabis? Cannabis is dangerous just as sugar. It can have adverse effects such as making you too happy and euphoric. Is it a bad thing? This story is going off the rails, therefore we really hope that it is a mere pre-electoral propaganda, although completely wrong.
Is cannabis dangerous? … Ban all lollipop sellers!!
Well yes, this all sounds surreal. If cannabis is dangerous, then also sugars are no joke: they make you fat, they give you diabetes and they take you to the dentist. This is enough to outlaw lollipops! Now, jokes aside, what the Minister wants to pursue is fair and correct because heroin, cocaine and synthetic drugs are really drugs that should be prosecuted. For this exact reason we should not compare apples with oranges because it would be unforgivable and offensive also for the intelligence of an insect! If Mr. Salvini cares about public health, he could also implement other and more important changes:
Limiting the alcohol consumption by forbidding and limiting its sale in public places, as well as refusing medical help to whose who get wasted on Martinis. Because who decides to kill himself with his own money, then he should get treatment with the exact same money!
Same thing goes for cigarettes. If you get lungs tumour because you smoke like an oven and you pay for your beloved cigs, the same money will go to get yourself treated!
More generally he could deal with the car traffic that kills millions of people, by inviting everyone to go on foot or use the bike!
This is to say that you cannot make statements claiming that you care about public health when the State is the first to reap the benefits of the self-destruction of people!
So, we are talking about things pulled out of the air that make no sense, statements or “fights” similar to the ones of Don Quixote. Indeed, he has not won any of his battles because windmills were not an enemy, just like cannabis, and history confirms it! Clearly we are writing this now only because it involves us but also because truth should always prevail on bullshit! And this is an objective fact not a stance like the one of the Minister, which is wrong in any way.
History needs to be rewritten… and we will rewrite it!
We would like to suggest a great video precisely about this matter shared today by Massimo Mazzucco, admin of Luogocomune.net. The title of the post could not be more accurate: “Salvini, the real junkie is you!”. Mazzucco goes over the matter giving a history lecture and giving correct information. He also invites the Minister to mention one, and only one, example of death due to cannabis or to show the proof that it represents the fist step leading to hard drugs! Cannabis is dangerous only for those with this preconception, of course wrong, and for those who talk only by hearsay and without knowledge of facts or information!
I remember that Mazzucco made a beautiful documentary: “THE REAL STORY OF CANNABIS” that mentions the motives of its ban. The ban obviously had lucrative reasons to help the new market of petrochemicals develop and grow, which we are now seriously dependent on! Unfortunately, the people leading this process deceived us and they are still doing it today, everyday. Cannabis is dangerous, but only for multinational companies’ interests. For them it cannabis is very dangerous and this is why they are fighting against it. I suggest you to watch the VIDEO shared by Mazzucco, that apart from being formative and informative is very enlightening. With data and reports at his disposal he dismantles any possible doubts on cannabis, offensively considered a “drug”.
And to think that cannabis is also therapeutic!
Now, do you know anyone who got treated with whiskey or bourbon? Or do you know anyone who got treated with two packs of cigarettes a day? Of course not, yet there are thousands of people who get treated or ease their health pains with cannabis! How can one think that cannabis is dangerous if on the contrary it is medical? Do we need to add anything else? Wisdom wants that before starting to speak one should be aware of what he is saying because the damages can otherwise be huge!
“Take this, all of you, and smoke it” could be the perfect and provocative slogan in response to the “salvinian” witch-hunting. We would also add: “do not drink and do not smoke cigarettes” as these really harm your body and kill millions of people. To sum up the whole story of cannabis, they globally deprived us of a prosperous plant only for the interest of few and clearly to the detriment of all the population. To conclude, dear Salvini, as Al Capone interpreted by Robert De Niro in “The Untouchables” says: “You are nothing but a lot of talk and a badge”.
The history of this plant is extraordinary, and needless to say, therapeutic cannabis is vital! We hear of incredible stories that would almost sound like fairy-tales if they were not true, but fortunately they are. The THC extracts, that is, the oils containing cannabinoids can also cure serious illnesses so much that some people who were thought of being at the end of their lives saw the regression of their pathologies in few days, almost as if they miraculously healed. Tales of this type are continuously growing and obviously the medical establishment fiercely fights against these treatments. Therapeutic cannabis is dangerous, of course, but for pharmaceutical lobbies that profit from people.
As you could imagine, a synthetic pill created in the lab can be patented and can profit from its rights, but fortunately a plant cannot! This is the case of cannabis, whose plant banned around a century ago, forcefully comes back today on the market. You can stop a bucket full of water but not a river in flood, and that river is called cannabis today. With all the benefits that this incredible plant holds, today it is not possible to hide them anymore as the web takes it course and awareness increases. Therapeutic cannabis is the latest marvel discovered and it concerns everyone because health is an undeniable right. You can also heal from very serious, and in some cases, irreversible illnesses, at least according to the traditional medical “science”.
Let’s get out from medical obscurantism of the
Therapeutic cannabis
Marijuana was banned for simple economic and lucrative reasons. It was too democratic because anyone could grow it. The plant is prosperous and good, so much that it can be used not only for medical purposes but also to produce food and objects. Just think about Ford that over seventy years ago created the first ecological automobile, almost all recyclable, called Hemp Body Car at that time. It was a car produced with hemp cellulose fibres, and just imagine, it was fuelled by hemp ethanol.
Yes, also biological fuel can be produced by hemp! Now you can also understand why hemp was banned in the United States first, and then all over the world as it represented a danger for the interests of lobbies. The world would have definitely been better if people like Rockefeller did not interfere. His interests focused on oil and the relative newborn chemical industry that would not have had the same success of hemp, was this to be freely available to everyone.
Anyway, to go back to therapeutic cannabis, it is always the same story: the great benefits of this plant’s extracts, and in some cases smoking it, are widely opposed. Of course, if you can heal with a plant, there is also less need of a doctor, at least in many cases, therefore, “hemp is not good”! In any case, history takes its course and truth always comes to the ones who believe to be right. So today we are in a phase of regaining faith that in few years we could finally see cannabis freed from any obstacle that criminalised it for almost a century.
Healing is everyone’s right but it is also sacred knowing what are the best, less invasive and cheaper treatments. The perspective of cannabis is changing rapidly worldwide. Maybe humanity will be able to fully enjoy this gift of the nature again soon, which was kept hidden for too long. The people responsible of this deprivation lasting for almost a century should be condemned for crimes against humanity, for taking it away from a precious ally in social, economic and productive development and of depriving it of its incredible properties.
Some countries are more culturally advanced and health reaps the benefits
Spain is definitely one of these and Barcelona with its Social Clubs is a clear example of this culture. There you can smoke and really enjoy the pleasure of relaxation, feel good and why not, preventing illnesses. Smoking is not about getting high as everyone wants us to believe: smoking marijuana means socialising, staying together, relaxing and feeling good about oneself and with others. This is therapeutic on its own as relaxing means feeling good, and when a person is healthy he does not use medicines, that is the point. The cannabis available at Social Clubs Barcelona is produced locally by farmers that own the licence and the relative governmental permits. This is done out in the open, with transparency as here you can legally smoke and more importantly without any prejudice.
Maybe evolution is taking its course as we are witnessing a collective awareness from the bottom, democratic and beneficial for everyone. Of course, we can be sure that therapeutic cannabis will be strongly fought against, but no one can stop this natural collective rebirth! Unfortunately, Italy is the taillight, either in bad or good things, as positive changes always happen with extreme delay. We confide in a political “resurrection” that will really put people’s needs first, and cannabis is one of them.
Smoking to feel better cannot be a crime: if you provide wellness and joy you are only to be praised as the aim of each State is, or should be, common good!
Only not smoking is a sin!
For those who would like to try even just by curiosity, provided that they have never tried before, Barcelona is the perfect destination for the next holidays. The city welcomes thousands of tourists every year, many of which visit for the beauties such as the nice Cannabis Social Clubs. Yes, this is also a good reason to take a plane to visit one of the most welcoming and modern European cities as well as one of the most liberal!
Therapeutic cannabis is also this: finding back a little bit of healthy relax lost in the maze of the frenzy modern life which can represent a problem. We would say: “nothing like a good smoke”, and thank goodness it is true. Many problems just fade away tank to cannabis. It is natural and it represents a powerful aid to many health issues, from the lightest to the most serious ones. This plant should be glorified and loved by everyone, as the things we can do with it are endless. Let’s enjoy it and… Let the cannabis be with you!
Marijuana and travel, why Barcelona is the favourite destination!
For years, those who were dreaming of smoking cannabis freely had only Amsterdam in mind; today marijuana and travel are synonymous of Barcelona. The Spanish city has become a symbol of freedom for millions of young people and those who love smoking. This happened only in few years, thanks to the mentality of a country that has experienced many things and perhaps for this reason become culturally more open.
Let’s open a small parenthesis of comparison with Italy, just to grasp the differences. As we know, in the “beautiful land” this theme is still under the scrutiny of the legislators, who apparently are gasping. The point is that “bigotry” settled like a woodworm in the mind of many Italians and this is why it is hard to make progressive changes.
This is the point: marijuana and travel are also an opportunity; Spain has understood it and seized the occasion. Indeed, this type of tourism that is very popular among youngsters, apart from being rigorously controlled, it also offers development opportunities. Imagine the influx that it generates and how many economic resources reach the city, not by chance one of the richest in Spain. It is a phenomenon that contributes economically to the welfare of the city and of the entire country.
Freedom of smoking marijuana and travel bring a good tourism inflow that by consequence visibly increases the consumption. This explains the growing success of this city that offers everything a tourist desires, not only in terms of cannabis: Barcelona is full of art and culture and it has nothing to envy to other big European cities, and let’s not forget about the sea.
Feeling free in Barcelona
The sensation is exactly the one of feeling free of being oneself without judgemental breathing down your neck. Youngsters in particular can discover the city peacefully, smoke cannabis and enjoy the beauty of the city. Let’s be clear though, you cannot smoke marijuana in the streets, let alone moving around with even minimum quantities.
To smoke here there are dedicated Cannabis Social Clubs, places specifically dedicated to smoking marijuana and where clients are free to socialise and enjoy the pleasure of a “joint”. This is what you can find in Barcelona, beautiful venues where you can gather with your friends and smoke local weed. Indeed, the marijuana that you can find in these coffee shops is legally produced in Spain, controlled and certified by specific bodies.
Marijuana and travel are therefore a combination liked not only by consumers but also by producers and the State itself that controls everything. Barcelona is the perfect city for youngsters, but also for adults that want to jump in the past. In fact, in the past few years the touristic influx linked to cannabis has seen a surge never seen before. We are talking about an increase that other cities can only dream of. Is it only thanks to marijuana?
Of course not, the city and the Catalonia Region have done way more to attract tourists but also many young entrepreneurs. Barcelona in fact has become a magnet for the launch of new start-ups, this always thanks to the politics that favours new projects. Hundreds of start-ups have born and often became successful precisely in Barcelona therefore, not only marijuana and travel, but also much technology and innovation.
Smoking marijuana in the clubs
The city offers many coffee shops, that honestly speaking are one better than the other, which is probably another reason of success. Obviously this means that the offer has always met the needs of the demand, offering in this case a plus. Yes, because these shops where you can smoke marijuana without problems and legally, have been created to offer an experience besides cannabis. The clubs are warm, well-furnished and comfortable, nothing to do with the Chinese “opium dens”, so as to give an idea. We are talking about normal places where you can order drinks, often eat and smoke at the same time, all in a beautiful city.
Barcelona is really the perfect destination, reachable by plane in a short time from all over Europe and close to the best seaside, as the sea of the neighbouring cities has nothing to envy to the Baleares for example. This is the reality of this city that welcomes, pampers and entertains the tourist who loves culture and the youngsters who love smoking a joint. Both things go perfectly hand in hand because, as mentioned earlier, the city is at least ten years ahead. Marijuana and travel are part of the incoming offer of the city, and this is why it attracts visitors from all over the world like few other destinations can.
The success of a community
In the past few years, people have often spoken about the theme of marijuana and travel and youngsters always think about it at the approach of summer. Barcelona is the clear example of a cohesive community that knows what it wants and does anything it can to obtain it; the independence is its most tangible proof. Spanish people are perfectly aware of the potential of their Region: they know what they want and they do anything to achieve it.
The laws in terms of cannabis are a clear example, as the State has understood the calling for a city open to the needs of young people. In fact, Barcelona is the favourite touristic destination of young people but also of many people who met the city through the Erasmus program. Clubs welcome all the inbounds of cannabis-smoking tourists, who, once reached the city, distribute their resources in many different ways.
Hotel, restaurants and the many attractions of the city such as museums, nightclubs etc. enrich the entrepreneurs but also Barcelona itself. A perfect structure that offers a perfect entertainment system for tourists, a success created throughout the years that now only produces good results. When we speak of marijuana and travel it is impossible not to mention the city that better than others has managed to create a business that benefits everyone. Whoever wants to live a unique experience, should put Barcelona in their bucket list, obviously not only for cannabis but also for everything else it has to offer overall. A destination to keep in mind for the next holiday!
