The Reality of Using Weedmaps in Madrid
If you search for “cannabis club Madrid” or “asociación cannábica Madrid” on Weedmaps Madrid, you’ll find a handful of listings, but here’s the problem:
- No Delivery – Unlike California, where you can get weed delivered to your door in under an hour, Spain has no legal cannabis delivery services. It’s strictly a private club system.
- No Direct Club Contacts – Most listings don’t actually connect you with a club. Instead, you get vague descriptions, generic contact forms, or just nothing at all.
- Outdated Information – Many clubs that pop up on Weedmaps Madrid either no longer exist or don’t respond when you reach out.
- Confusing Legal Landscape – Spain’s cannabis laws are different from the U.S. Possession is decriminalized in private spaces, and clubs operate as private, member-only associations. That means there’s no dispensary model like in California.
After hours of searching, messaging clubs, and getting no response, I realized Weedmaps was useless for Madrid.
Why Madrid’s Cannabis Scene Works Differently
In Spain, cannabis social clubs are legal but private. You can’t just walk into a club like a dispensary and buy weed—you need a membership. Some clubs require an invitation from an existing member, while others let you apply online. That’s where things get tricky.
Most online searches lead to middlemen services that charge outrageous fees just to introduce you to a club. Others send you to fake sites that disappear after you send them money. It’s a mess, and Weedmaps doesn’t help at all.

After realizing how difficult it was to find a real, legit cannabis club in Madrid, I started Madrid420.com, which later expanded into Spain420.es to help stoners across Spain and beyond. Here’s why it’s different:
