Cannabis in Valencia, where to find it
It’s been ten years since the law on Cannabis has changed in Valencia and the city has experienced an increase of tourism also related to Marijuana consumption. The city is a touristic destination for its beaches and art places, and it’s becoming more famous by getting more into this sector.
Have you heard of the new Spanish laws regulating the Cannabis? Would you like to take advantage of it and organise a holiday full of sea, culture and relax? If you don’t want to give up Cannabis while you are travelling, then Valencia could be an interesting destination. I suggest you however to read carefully what I foud out.
Cannabis is not legal in Spain
Although you probably heard the opposite, Spanish law in terms of light drugs is not to permissive. In fact, you need to know that in terms of the legality of cannabis, Valencia is not an exception. Just like everywhere else in Spain, cannabis is not legal in Valencia. However, even if it isn’t legal, it’s not even forbidden completely.
There is no real law but it 2001 two Spanish lawyers have “discovered” an interesting law gap. The Spanish constitution protects very carefully individual freedom and the freedom of association. So basically a private citizen is free to do whatever he wants in his house, which includes cultivating and smoking marijuana. As long as production and consumption happen at an individual level and inside a closed place, then the State cannot intervene.
The fact that there is freedom of association, helped something even more interesting. Groups of citizens and habitual consumers of marijuana have joined together and created private clubs where they commonly cultivate their own plants. This all happens within the law, in a grey zone not considered by the lawmakers and that, even if not legal, it cannot be sanctioned.
Social Clubs
This is how Social Clubs were born. Here you can buy and consume Cannabis within the boundaries of the law so if you would like to visit one of these clubs where you can smoke Cannabis then Valencia offers different opportunities.
Social Clubs however have strict rules that you need to know. First of all, they are private clubs and it’s not easy to join one. Every club has different joining rules and prerequisites for their members so make sure you inform yourself. The golden rule for each club is being over 18. You also need to be resident in the country of the club and provide and ID. How to get the membership card then if you are a tourist?
How to access a Social Club
To join a Social Club you need to act quickly before time. Do your online research on Social clubs, as Valencia offers many options for cannabis, and take notes on their contacts. You need to get in touch with the different clubs via phone or mail and ask about their rules. They might ask to send your ID and will ask you to pay a membership fee. Every club works differently but they all protect their members. You always need to consider that they are not looking for troubles with the law and they are very careful with their members’ selection. Keeping a low profile is definitely a tactic that needs to be respected. You will see that if you don’t give up and you are polite and kind, you will get replies.
If instead, you already know someone in Valencia, then you are lucky! Keep in mind that many clubs have an associative policy that works with referrals. This means that, even if you’re not a resident, if you find a member recommending you, you have good chances to be admitted in the Cannabis Clubs in Valencia.
The best Cannabis Clubs in Valencia
I’ve made a small research to ease your job before departure. Below you can find information about some of the Cannabis Clubs in Valencia that you can get in touch with to obtain your membership card:
- SOHO associacion Cultural
They are open in the afternoon and it only accepts members over 21. You can contact them via phone at 003 4612245515 or via email here:

- Asociacion TCH Valencia
This is not for you if you are a tourist because it’s the strictest Cannabis Clubs in Valencia. This excellent club won’t give you the card if you don’t live in the city.
Points of caution for a safe trip
Now that you know the best Social Clubs, you are aware that Valencia is easily accessible but you still need to be careful. The law is clear: for no reason you will be able to take marijuana outside of the club. As I mentioned, law protects you only if you cultivate and consume indoor, but it’s forbidden to smoke in the streets. If they find you with your legally purchased cannabis, they might fine you or force you to get rid of it. Remember that possessing cannabis in Spain is not a crime, so you won’t go to jail but you will have to pay a fine.
If you cannot do without taking weed bought in a Club in Valencia then pay attention to only keep small quantities. If police finds you with a quantity that makes them suspect that you are selling it then you could experience hard times.
Now that you have all the information that I gathered for you, then you are ready to act. Get in touch with the clubs, obtain access and book a trip for Valencia!

Where to find cannabis in Ibiza
You’ve heard that Spanish laws on cannabis are more permissive than in Italy and you’re about to fly there to check by yourself? You packed, chose your destination, booked the ticket and you’re ready to leave for Ibiza. I suggest you to read this guide to be fully prepared and to avoid bad surprised. If you are travelling without asking yourself where to find cannabis in Ibiza, you risk being disappointed and finding yourself in unpleasant situations. We looked for all the information available online and if you just spend some time reading through, you’ll leave prepared.
Before asking yourself where to find cannabis in Ibiza you need to know some practical and important legal information.
Legal information
If you think you will find the same freedom in Ibiza and Amsterdam, you’re wrong! Spanish law allows domestic cultivation and personal use of cannabis. Be careful though: this must happen indoor. For example, open air cultivation on a balcony is forbidden, just as it’s forbidden to smoke openly in public. Moreover, Spanish police often checks the people so you need to be extra careful! However, Social Clubs were born to make best use of the possibility of cultivating cannabis privately. These are clubs reserved to consumers where you can buy and consume cannabis. Finding cannabis in Ibiza does not seem a problem but you need to be careful because what you buy in the club can only be consumed inside. In fact, if you’re caught in the street with cannabis on you, even if legal, you will have to pay a fine.
How to enter a Social Club
Now that you know about Social clubs where you can find cannabis in Ibiza, you need to understand how to gain access and it’s not that easy. Given that these clubs were born exploiting a legal grey zone, they are tolerated by the police as long as you don’t create problems. This means that most of the clubs have very strict access rules and entrance is not automatic. These are private clubs with a reserved access for their members. To become a member you need to respect the following:
- You need to be 18 or 21 and hold a valid ID
- Have the permanent address in Ibiza
Although it sounds impossible, there is still a way to win over the strict rules of these social clubs. There are two main ways to gain access:
- Be recommended by a local member.
If you know anyone living in Ibiza who is a member in one of the Social Clubs in the island, you’re set. You can ask to be invited and you’re done. Most of the clubs in fact accept new members upon recommendation by an existing member. It’s a system that helps selecting temporary clients to protect the members.
- Get in touch in advance with the clubs to request membership
If you still don’t know anyone in Ibiza, you can always try to directly get in touch with the clubs to request access. Some of the clubs allow this by using their website or by calling. I suggest you to call and explain your reasons to request access as a member. Be king, understanding and do no talk about prices or products. They could require a copy of your ID as part of the process and they could ask you to pay a membership fee. It’s worth paying it to gain access to the club. You can proceed on the clubs’ websites or use the tool of spainweedguide.com that offers the possibility to request access to all the adhering clubs.
The best Social Clubs in Ibiza
What are the best social clubs to find cannabis in Ibiza? The information online are not much, especially for the nature of these places. We found online the most known social clubs in Ibiza and made a list for you:
Avenida Sant Josep de Sa Talaia, 16, Ibiza, Balearic Islands, Spain, 07800
It’s located close to the heart of the old city and apart from a good variety of weed it offers great food and drinks. On their website you can request access and if you are accepted you can enjoy an amazing atmosphere and company.
Excellent cannabis club located in the centre of Ibiza, close to the touristic zone and the Eivissa port. They do not accept new members unless they have been contacted in advance, so do not go there before getting in touch with them!
One of the best clubs in Ibiza, they have a vast choice of cannabis and a relaxed atmosphere. However they do not grant access easily.
Located in the middle of the island, close to the sea, this club offers the possibility to get in touch with them through their website to obtain the access card. It’s worth trying filling in the form on their website to access their club!
Getting in touch with these Social Clubs is no easy thing. Sometimes even the address is a piece of information reserved to the members only! You need to play the same game, be respectful and show interest, ready to accept any requests. Remember that it’s normal to be requested to show an ID and to pay a membership fee given the nature of their activity.
Port and central streets
If you don’t want to look for a Social Club close to your needs, remember that it’s never hard to find cannabis in Ibiza! The central streets and the port side are full of tourists and you can find pushers everywhere. You will be surprised of how much you could buy very easily. Even if you’ll find pills more easily to buy in the streets, cannabis is not going to be hard either. However, I have to warn you that even if it’s easy it’s not safe! First of all you have no quality check on what you are buying and you could also be stopped by the police. As I mentioned already, possessing or consuming cannabis outside is illegal all over Spain. Are you sure you want to risk it?
Taking cannabis on the plane
If instead you’re thinking of taking cannabis from Italy to avoid all these issues, don’t do it! Airport checks are very accurate and you could experience an unpleasant situation.
After reading where to find cannabis in Ibiza you are ready to take off. Choose your method based on your needs but remember that if you decide to purchase in the streets breaching the law you will run risks. I suggest you to spend some time and get in touch with one of the amazing Social Clubs where you will enjoy your cannabis with no stress.

Where to find cannabis in Tenerife
You’re about to leave for Tenerife, your ticket is ready, the hotel is booked, and you have all the necessary travel guides to move stress-free. You’re missing only one little detail: given that you really don’t want to give up your favourite relaxing moment, you want to find out where to find cannabis in Tenerife.
The web is full of information, mostly incomplete and inconsistent, and most of the times is not always easy to understand what to do. But don’t worry, the important thing is to know where to go to find the right information and we’ve done this for you.
Here is a list of information that will be handy when you are looking for cannabis in Tenerife.
Legal information
You’ve probably heard that cannabis is legal in Tenerife but, careful, it’s incorrect! Cultivating cannabis is allowed exclusively for personal use but drug-dealing, possession and consumption in the streets is forbidden. The possibility of cultivating cannabis for personal use has aided the creation of consumer’s associations that manage together the cultivation of their own plants. These associations in Tenerife in which you can find cannabis are called Social Clubs and are tolerated by the police because they are regulated by the law. This means that buying and consuming cannabis in the clubs is allowed but taking it in the street isn’t. Therefore be careful because casual checks in Spain are more frequent than in Italy and it’s not hard to be stopped by the police. Being caught with cannabis, even if bought in a Social Club can lead to fines. Having mentioned this, let’s see where to find cannabis in Tenerife.
How to access a Social Club
We talked about the legal aspect, so let’s see now where to find cannabis in Tenerife.
As mentioned above, many private Clubs have been opened throughout the years and given that they are tolerated by the authorities, they make it possible for people to buy cannabis. It sounds easy but it isn’t: most of the Social Clubs in Tenerife are strictly reserved to the members who reside in the island. How can someone be granted access to one of these clubs then? It’s not that easy given that most of them, as they work on the edge of legality, are very careful about who they let in. A strict selection at the door is essential so as not to have legal issues. The access methods are substantially two:
- Having a local member recommend you.
If you are lucky enough to know anyone local, you’re set. The access in the social clubs happens following the introduction by an internal member of the club.
- Getting in touch with the club in advance to gain access.
If you don’t know anyone in Tenerife, I must say that some clubs actually accept non-resident clients. How to do that? It’s not so hard. You need to get in touch with the club before your departure and give all the required information. You also need to send a copy of your ID and pay a joining fee. Some clubs could require a preliminary interview before letting you in. If you are happy about this process you can try and get in touch with the clubs I selected for you. Alternatively you can try to use the tool available on the Spain Weed Guide website. This website available in English offers a detailed guide of cannabis in Spain and it’s also useful to book an appointment with the social clubs.
The best Social Clubs in Tenerife
Now that you’re aware of the system, finding cannabis in Tenerife is not an issue anymore. You just need to choose which social clubs is for you so you can start with the joining process. Here below we mention some of the most known.
Calle Gran Bretaña 2, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands 38660
Founded by a group of Italians, it’s considered one of the most comfortable clubs. It allows access to over 18 and it’s open 12pm-9pm. It offers a complete menu with an excellent value for money.
Avenida MarĂtima, 17, 38650 Arona, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain.
It’s one of the most famous cannabis clubs in Tenerife, with friendly and knowledgeable staff. It’s located in a touristic zone full of attractions and easy to reach. Once inside you feel safe and protected.
Calle El Mirador,18, 38611 San Isidro de Abona,
Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain.
This is an association that allows access to cannabis for therapeutic use and for leisure. On their website you can find a contact form to request access.
Avenida Europa, Centro Comercial Teide, 38660 Adeje, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain.
This is a Club with a very user-friendly website. The access is granted to the over 21 who have been invited via email. On the website you can fill in a form to request the invitation and upon reception you need to pay 20€ worth of membership fee.
Plaza de la cruz de llano, adeje, 38670, Santa Cruz de tenerife, Spain.
Modern and essential club, it gives the chance to request the subscription by filling in their form.
Finding cannabis in Tenerife should not be a problem anymore once you check these clubs out and you choose the one for you. However, if you are looking for different solutions, keep reading.
Illegal cannabis and air transport
You really can’t be bothered to get in touch with one of the clubs, you don’t want to send them your document and you don’t want to pay the membership fee because you think you can find alternative options? Forget about it and follow my advice! Whether you want to deal with pushers in the street or whether you want to take your own cannabis with you: don’t do it! Both solutions are very risky. Remember that Spain does not allow consumption in the street and drug dealing is severely punished. Security checks in airports are very strict and it’s not worth it risking it. It’s better to spend some time looking for a cannabis club and joining it instead!

Is marijuana legal in Barcelona?
Is marijuana legal in Barcelona? It’s not a simple question however, although the answer is yes, the matter is more complex. Marijuana is legal under specific conditions, in fact, according to Spanish laws, marijuana is legal in the whole country only for personal consumption and the circumstances are not always this easy and linear.
The answer to the question “is marijuana legal in Barcelona?” is then “Yes, but only in small quantities for personal use and until the cultivation, possession and consumption happen in private spaces. Let’s dig more deeply in the matter.
Is the black market of marijuana legal in Barcelona?
In theory yes, in Barcelona you can legally buy marijuana coming from the black market. Being caught buying marijuana from a pusher is not a crime in Barcelona but it will lead to a fine. Fines are pretty high, starting from 300 to 400 Euros or more. For this reason the best solution is joining a private Cannabis club among the many existing in Barcelona.
Are private cannabis clubs legal in Barcelona?
Yes, cannabis clubs in Barcelona are legal. These clubs are indeed completely private associations and therefore respect the rules that regulate the purchase, possession and usage of cannabis in Spain. Moreover, being private entities, all the activities happening inside of them are protected by Spanish constitutional laws in terms of privacy. Unfortunately, being private, these clubs are places that are not open to the public and to become a member of a cannabis club you need to be introduced by someone who is already a member and who would function as a sponsor.
Can people legally give marijuana to their friends in Barcelona?
Yes, friends and collaborators can legally give weed to their friends without committing a crime. As usual, it’s important to follow some rules. First of all the use of the received cannabis needs to be strictly personal given that marijuana is legal in Barcelona but it’s not possible to give it to others even if it’s possible to consume it in the many clubs in the city.
Is it possible to cultivate marijuana legally in Barcelona?
Yes, it’s possible to cultivate weed legally in Barcelona as long as you respect some simple rules. First of all, the plants need to be in a completely private space outside public sight. The number of cultivated plants should not exceed 6. If these rules are followed then the cultivation of cannabis is totally legal and it’s possible to share the product with your friends, otherwise you might be fined.
In which cases is marijuana illegal in Barcelona?
After this brief introduction it might seem that buying, cultivating and possessing marijuana in Barcelona are legal and always permitted activities. It’s actually not, given as it’s illegal to exchange or consume marijuana in public spaces or if you possess an excessive quantity. The personal possession of cannabis has never been prosecuted as a crime in Barcelona, as long as you remain in a private place. Instead, when you consume or possess cannabis in public places you can be fined even if in Barcelona, just as all over Spain, marijuana is not illegal. Then, yes, marijuana is legal in Barcelona but its consumption is regulated by rules that need to be followed and whose breach only lead to civil implications. However, the body of law that regulates these rules in Spain is not that simple as the privacy laws are quite complex. If, for example, you leave a private place, your own place or a cannabis club with some cannabis in your pocket, you can be fined if caught in the streets.
If police found weed in your pockets and seized it, and, especially if the person is a tourist or a foreigner, it would fine him. But in the same way, if weed was hiding in a more “private” place, such as underwear, police wouldn’t have done anything. According to privacy laws, the police is not allowed to search your private parts without a formal reason. It’s not possible to consume cannabis in public either although it’s common to see people smoking on the beach or outside a club. These behaviours are risky and being caught will lead to fines. Moreover, negotiating with local police is never fun! It’s important to always keep in mind the first rule in terms of cannabis consumption in Barcelona: “keep your things private!”.
If you want to buy and consume cannabis in Barcelona, the best way is joining a private cannabis club. You can choose your favourite one and most of them can be found in the city centre and in the “Ciutat Vella” zone. The next step is finding a sponsor who will introduce you to the club. This is the only obstacle for a tourist or a foreigner trying to become a member of these clubs. There are no restrictions on joining clubs for tourists or foreigners but only a precise set of rules that you need to follow to be admitted.
What are the rules for cannabis consumption in the clubs?
The Cannabis clubs in Barcelona are like associations that commit to cultivate and produce marijuana for their members. Paying for weed is considered as a donation to a friend for the time spent cultivating the final product. The majority of the clubs limit the total number of grams that can be bought every month and also impose a daily cap.

Can tourists buy marijuana in Barcelona?
Answering this question is harder that you think. Anyway, yes, tourists can buy marijuana in Barcelona. In reality a law forbidding tourists to join private cannabis clubs and buy marijuana does not exist. However, the matter is not as easy as you might think. Let’s see why.
Yes, all tourists can buy cannabis in Barcelona
Tourists can buy cannabis but only in private places, such as clubs: fortunately, private clubs of this type are many around the city and they are all accessible. The only condition is knowing someone who already is a member because you can only access the cannabis clubs if you are introduced by an internal sponsor.
Can tourists join a private cannabis club in Barcelona?
It’s not impossible for a tourist to buy marijuana in Barcelona, and same goes for joining a cannabis club: you only need to know the right people! There are no rules that regulate the membership to private cannabis clubs of this type and any person can join, therefore there is no restriction for tourists either. There are protective rules that allow cannabis clubs to exist but there is no law that governs these clubs and that regulates their functioning. Moreover, often there is no waiting period for tourists and foreigners as they are all treated as local people.
Can tourists buy cannabis in Barcelona without joining a private club?
At this point you might wonder whether it’s possible for tourists to buy cannabis even without joining a private cannabis club. In this case the matter becomes more difficult. Indeed there is no legal way to buy marijuana outside a private cannabis club. Tourists in Barcelona can join a club, they can receive weed from relatives or friends, or they can plant it in a private area. There is also the possibility of buying it in the black market as it is not a crime in Spain but bear in mind that you might get fined if you get caught by the police. So, if you cultivate weed in Barcelona and you decide to give some to your friends you might ask them to pay you for your commission. Or, if you are in a place where they cultivate cannabis, you could give your host the money for producing the cannabis he gave you. This way you can get marijuana legally in Barcelona without being in a private cannabis club. The exchanges need to happen in a private place and it should not be a purchase. In practice, it’s like refunding your friends for the costs of production of the cannabis they gave you.
Can tourists buy cannabis in Barcelona? The final answer
If Spain wanted to create a law to forbid tourists to join national private cannabis clubs, the rest of Europe would definitely attack it. The EU cannot accept actions that deliberately discriminate against other EU members. Therefore if a law decided to forbid the access to private clubs to non-Spanish people would be illegal. Moreover, any laws of this type would force thousands of people to go for the illegal routes of the black market. All this would lead to an increase of criminality instead of preventing it. It is precisely for this reason that starting from summer 2018 tourists can buy cannabis in Barcelona, following the steps required and by becoming members of a private cannabis club.
So yes, tourists can buy marijuana in Barcelona by following simple rules
It’s been years now that Spain has decided to open and give opportunities to this flourishing market that is quickly growing. The reason probably comes from the increased demand but it is not the only motive. There are also social and economical reasons. On the social side, it’s important to remember that Barcelona in the 80s and 90s was the main destination for adventurers and wild drug dealing with all the problems that come with it. Legalisation has produced the desired effect by the legislators, that is, cleaning the city from the illegal underground life and criminality. It took few years to clean the streets and give a new color to the city as well as new rights to people who consume cannabis for pleasure or therapeutic reasons.
Of course the illegal trafficking has not been eradicated completely but today it only represents a minority. The fact that tourists can buy marijuana in Barcelona without problems, anxiety and misadventures, is surely a positive achievement for the city. This was only possible thanks to the many Social Cannabis Clubs that today animate the streets of the city centre, which are about a hundred. Surely this is a positive thing under all aspects, especially socially and economically. There are thousands of people involved in the production of cannabis products and cultivation of cannabis, and all this produces a relevant market, important revenues and flourishing businesses that are constantly growing. All this offers an advantage to consumers as well, not only related to legality but also to lower prices and higher quality. To conclude, we can say that tourists can buy marijuana in Barcelona and can enjoy a metropolitan city that has become a symbol of growth and prosperity in Europe!

Below you can find all the steps and exact procedures to follow to become a member of a private cannabis club in Barcelona.
How to reach the club
The majority of the best cannabis clubs in Barcelona are mainly in the center or in the “Ciutat Vella” quarter. Given that this area of the city can be chaotic, especially for newcomers, it’s important to follow some simple rules so as not to get lost. Some tips include knowing well the address and the route, not trusting taxi drivers who frequently take the wrong way and take the passenger willingly somewhere else. Remember that “Ciutat Vella” is essentially a square. On the superior side you can find the Gran Via les Cortes Catalanes, on the right you can find Passeig Picasso, on the left Las Ramblas and on the inferior side you find Colom e Marques de l’Argentera. It’s important knowing that in order to access the marijuana clubs in Barcelona is important to be members and new subscriptions are only accepted by booking.
Private access
To discover how to become a member of a coffee shop in Barcelona, of course it’s important to gather information on how to do so. The access to the majority of the cannabis clubs in Barcelona is discreet, without any signs and with blacked-out windows: the place is only recognisable by the address and number. Almost all clubs have a buzzer at the entrance and CCTV. In order to gain access you need to buzz and as the doors are not always open, they will be released through and electronic system. We advise you to keep a quiet and discreet behaviour when inside.
ID check
In order to join a cannabis club in Barcelona, it’s necessary to be introduced by the person who is sponsoring you. The sponsoring needs to be done in person but sometimes it can be done remotely for example if the sponsor cannot be physically present for external reasons outside one’s control. It’s also possible to be remotely sponsored by an Ambassador member. Once entered, the personnel will check your ID as it’s not possible to join a club or enter without a required proof of ID. The proof of ID can be any ID document such as driving licence, passport, National ID, etc. as long as it’s a valid document and it’s partially written in English or Spanish.
Payment of the membership fee
In order to access the services offered by the cannabis clubs it’s important to pay a membership fee. The fee is on average around 30-40 Euros, with a minimum starting from 10 Euros for the cheapest and simplest cannabis clubs, and a maximum of 100 Euros for the most exclusive ones. Many clubs require the payment of the fee in cash and they do not accept cards. The payment of the membership fee gives access to the club at any time, during opening times. The purchase of  cannabis products is excluded and the prices are set based on the members’ fees.
The club rules
There are definitely rules on how to become a member of a coffee shop in Barcelona. Clubs have specific rules to follow and often to sign for. The majority are rules of common sense, others refer to cannabis usage and possession and the introduction of other drugs inside the clubs. New members are required to sign an agreement where they accept the rules that have to be followed at all times without exception.
Right of cultivation
Cannabis Clubs in Barcelona are real associations that commit to cultivate and produce Marjuana for their members. The majority of the clubs limit the total amount of grams that can be bought every month, and imposes a daily limit as well. In general, the daily limit is 5 grams and the monthly one is 90. Every member, at the time of their subscription, declares the grams that he will need every month.
Issuing of the pass and bill
After you complete the subscription application and sign the agreement, the staff will add the data of new members in the system and release the personal pass to every new member. In many clubs, this pass can also be used as a credit card. On this type of passes it’s possible to top-up funds and use them to pay for services and products in the club and the bar. However, many clubs don’t use this system and some only accepts cash payments. The pass is necessary not only to access the club but also to move in it. Even if you are a known member it’s not possible to enter and stay in the club without having the pass with you. The pass is the proof of being a member of the club and it’s easy to get.
Tour of the club
We explained how to subscribe to the club, how to sign for the rules and the rights of joining and how to get a pass. The pass is essential to access the club and move in it. The pass usually functions as a prepaid credit card, but it can also be a simple piece of paper. When you are given the pass, the staff will take you and any new members around the club for a tour. The tour is important as they will show you the different areas of the club and the rules of each one of them.
Shopping in the club
Some clubs require a waiting period between the subscription and the moment when you can actually buy products. This period can vary and it can be few days or more than two weeks. The majority of the clubs in Barcelona, fortunately don’t follow this modus operandi thus it’s possible to buy products from the start. In clubs where this rule is applied for particular reasons, sometimes the rule is waived if the member is buying for therapeutic use.
To join a Social Club you need to act quickly before time. Do your online research on Social clubs, as Valencia offers many options for cannabis, and take notes on their contacts. You need to get in touch with the different clubs via phone or mail and ask about their rules. They might ask to send your ID and will ask you to pay a membership fee. Every club works differently but they all protect their members. You always need to consider that they are not looking for troubles with the law and they are very careful with their members’ selection. Keeping a low profile is definitely a tactic that needs to be respected. You will see that if you don’t give up and you are polite and kind, you will get replies.
