Reviewed: 2026-10-05. - **Can tourists buy:** Prohibited. Spain is not a simple tourist channel for THC cannabis. The medical route runs through hospital pharmacies with a Spanish specialist prescription, and cannabis social clubs are a grey area rather than legal retail open to visitors. Rule jurisdiction: Spain. Reviewed: 2026-08-30. - **How to buy:** Get a specialist's prescription for a defined indication and receive a standardized preparation via a hospital pharmacy; do not rely on social clubs as legal retail. - **Where purchase is legal:** Pharmacies - **Medical access:** Medical use only. La prescription prévue par le décret 903/2025 relève de médecins spécialistes hospitaliers ; la délivrance est assurée par les pharmacies hospitalières. Conditions: Minimum age 18+. Rule jurisdiction: Spain. Reviewed: 2026-10-05. - **Possession limit:** Restricted. Possession in public spaces is administratively sanctioned regardless of intent. Consumption in strictly private settings by adults is generally not penalised, but supplying cannabis remains a criminal offence. Rule jurisdiction: Spain. Reviewed: 2026-08-30. - **Public consumption:** Prohibited. Consuming or possessing cannabis in public places, public transport or public establishments is a serious administrative offence in Spain, fined from EUR 601 up to EUR 30,000 — even without any trafficking intent. Rule jurisdiction: Spain. Reviewed: 2026-08-30. - **Minimum age:** 18+ (purchase, medical access) - **Important restrictions:** Une adhésion à un club ne garantit pas la légalité de sa distribution. Vérifiez les conditions du club et les règles officielles. The private-sphere tolerance comes from case law, not a statute; venue and regional practice varies. Access requires a specialist prescription and hospital-pharmacy dispensing; it is not an over-the-counter or general-pharmacy route. Concentration is set by the preparation and prescription; 0.2% THC is not the maximum strength. Social clubs are not guaranteed-legal retail; do not treat them as a legal tourist source. The hospital-pharmacy medical route is not a simple tourist channel. Never carry cannabis across a national border. THC: No single national cap; concentration is set by preparation and prescription. 0.2% is not the max medical strength. ## Venues in Catalonia 420.camp lists 350 cannabis venues in Catalonia: 288 private clubs, 34 CBD & hemp shops, 24 pharmacies, 1 coffeeshops, 1 lounges, 1 doctor, 1 grow shop. 288 show opening hours, 192 list a phone number, 305 have photos, 0 are confirmed by their owner or a licence check. 319 admit members only.
