TL;DR: No public dispensaries in Madrid — real THC is inside private cannabis clubs
Stores that look like “dispensaries” in central Madrid sell CBD only. For real THC flower, hash, vapes, or edibles, you must join a private cannabis club in Madrid. Membership requires ID and a simple registration. Keep consumption private and inside the club.
Why “Cannabis Store Amsterdam”–style shops aren’t dispensaries
These retail stores use familiar strain names and branding but only offer CBD products within legal limits. They are not THC dispensaries. If you expected a California-style shop, this is why you left disappointed.

How Madrid’s cannabis clubs work
Private, members-only associations
Clubs operate as private associations for adults. You register, show valid ID, and follow house rules. Because everything happens in a private setting, you stay within Spain’s tolerated model for personal use.
What you’ll find inside
- THC flower (familiar genetics), quality hash, and sometimes concentrates and edibles
- Clear menus, calm lounges, staff guidance, and community events
- Simple rules that protect members’ privacy and the club’s discretion
Step-by-step: join a cannabis club in Madrid
