Tourists’ Guide: How to Get Access
When my stoner-friendly cousin Rachel flew in from Miami, her first question was simple: “Can a tourist join a cannabis club in Madrid?” We do not drink much anymore, so we wanted a different way to unwind. That day we hit El Prado, relaxed in Retiro, wandered through Puerta del Sol, and browsed El Rastro. By the end, we needed a calm reset.
At the time, I was still figuring out the local scene. As an expat, I knew I could join a private club without Spanish citizenship. However, I was not sure if the same applied to tourists. So, I messaged a friendly budtender who loved chatting about California strains. A few minutes later, her WhatsApp voice note cleared it up.
Rachel only needed a valid passport, an invitation from a current member (that was me), and a temporary Spanish address. Since she stayed with me, we used mine. Soon after, we were in the club, laughing about our old 7-Eleven snack missions.
How Tourists Join Cannabis Clubs in Madrid
Madrid is famous for art, history, and nightlife. Nevertheless, for cannabis lovers, the private club model is the real gem. Unlike Amsterdam, Spain uses a members-only system. Therefore, tourists cannot just walk in and buy weed. Even so, they can still get access by following a few simple steps.
Joining as a Tourist: Step by Step
Step 1: Book an Appointment (5€)
You cannot just show up. Instead, book a brief appointment to request an invitation as a new member. Fortunately, it is quick and easy.

Step 2: Visit the Club and Register
After booking, you will receive directions and simple instructions. When you arrive, bring:
- A valid passport or ID (18+ or 21+, depending on the club)
- A small membership fee (typically 5–10€)
Then you will sign a short form acknowledging the club’s rules. From there, you are officially in.
Step 3: Enjoy Safely, Inside the Club
As a member, you can access premium strains, hash, edibles, and concentrates. Better still, you can enjoy them in a safe, private space without legal issues.
What Kind of Cannabis Can You Get?
Top-Shelf Strains
Madrid’s private clubs keep a rotating menu. For example, you will often find:
- Sativa strains — energizing and uplifting for sightseeing or social plans.
- Indica strains — body-soothing and relaxing after a long day.
- Hybrids — balanced effects for mind and body.
Popular names include Amnesia Haze, Gelato, OG Kush, and Gorilla Glue. Availability varies by club and week, so it is smart to ask ahead.
Legal Basics and Friendly CTA
Remember, Spain’s cannabis use is private and for members only. Therefore, consumption must happen inside the club. It is not allowed in public spaces. To proceed safely and avoid scams, use trusted guidance.
