What does being a private association mean?
A Cannabis Social Club —CSC— is a private association made up of members and governed by its own internal rules. You may also see terms such as weed club or the Spanish club cannábico. It is not a shop open to the public.
If you are looking for a weed club Spain, understanding this distinction helps you interpret its requirements and prepare for a first visit, whether you live locally or are planning a trip.
Each association has its own rules and membership conditions. Contacting a club or requesting an invitation does not make you a member: joining is a matter for the association and its membership process.
The Crew currently publishes information about collaborating weed clubs Madrid and Mallorca. This guide explains the model; destination pages and club profiles explain their specific conditions.
Not a shop, coffeeshop or dispensary.
A CSC is organised around its members, rather than operating as an ordinary shop serving customers. If you have visited an Amsterdam coffeeshop or a dispensary in another country, do not assume that an association in Spain works in the same way.

A different model
Do not transfer its access conditions
A different context
Do not assume regulatory equivalence
Their access conditions, operation and legal contexts are not interchangeable. Check the particular club’s information before planning a visit.
An invitation does not make you a member.
Being a member means joining the association under the conditions that apply at that club. It helps to distinguish the following:
Application
You express your interest and begin the relevant process.
Invitation
Part of preparing for a visit; it does not, by itself, establish membership.
Membership
Joining the association, with membership recorded by the club under its conditions.
READY FOR THE NEXT STEP?
Your first visit starts with choosing a cannabis club.
Check its requirements and fee, then choose your day to request a free invitation through The Crew.
Do all cannabis clubs in Spain work the same way?
No. Membership conditions, minimum age, accepted documents, fees, hours, languages and house rules can vary. Do not assume that a weed club Madrid has the same conditions as a weed club Mallorca.
Documents and requirements
Check what the particular association asks for.
Fee and payment period
Check the amount and how often it is payable.
Hours and arrival
Review first-visit and arrival instructions.
Languages and accessibility
Check the published information against your needs.
Check the information source and update date where provided. If a detail has not been confirmed, clarify it before arranging your visit.
What if you are visiting Spain as a tourist?
This guide is also for people planning a trip who want to understand the weed-club model. However, visiting Spain, holding a passport or requesting an invitation does not, on its own, establish that you meet an association’s conditions. Check the selected club’s requirements.
Travel requirements and club membership conditions are separate matters. Do not treat an invitation as an immigration document or confirmation of membership.
