Private collective consumption and commercial supply are legally distinct. 0.2% THC is not the maximum strength of a medical product. 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 Spain 420.camp lists 1269 cannabis venues in Spain: 974 private clubs, 238 CBD & hemp shops, 29 pharmacies, 24 grow shop, 1 coffeeshops, 1 lounges, 1 doctor, 1 other legal business. 1073 show opening hours, 811 list a phone number, 1138 have photos, 2 are confirmed by their owner or a licence check. 1180 admit members only.
