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 Barcelona 420.camp lists 196 cannabis venues in Barcelona: 177 private clubs, 10 CBD & hemp shops, 8 pharmacies, 1 lounges. 166 show opening hours, 116 list a phone number, 172 have photos, 0 are confirmed by their owner or a licence check. 180 admit members only.

Sweet Oil’s own contact page places it in Barcelona; a city word in an old search-result slug is less useful than the current address. [\[1\]](https://sweetoilcannabisclub.com/contacts/) Open the [local catalogue](/weed/spain/catalonia/barcelona) to compare listings, then use its map or nearest-venues option. Read the current address and contact before you set off. ### Ask before your first visit Ask whether the club accepts a new member in your circumstances, whether you need an introduction, which original ID it accepts, and when a first visit can be arranged. Confirm each guest separately. - Confirm that the club can admit you and anyone joining you. - Ask what members can access, whether the current menu is available and whether on-site use is permitted. - Confirm any contribution directly with the club; do not treat an intermediary’s promise as admission. ### Do I need to book? Ask the club for an explicit answer before travelling. A map pin or a public website does not confirm your membership. ### Keep the visit practical Carry the document the club confirmed, save its reply and check the opening time again on the day. The owner’s process above is attributed to that club, not presented as a licence or a nationwide legal entitlement. Read the [Spain access and consumption guide](/weed/spain) for the separate rules. If a listing looks wrong, use its correction option so the next visitor has better information. ### Sources - [Sweet Oil — owner contact page](https://sweetoilcannabisclub.com/contacts/)
