Here in Barcelona, we are lucky to have decriminalized marijuana legislation, but we are still far from the reality of Amsterdam. Still, we should be thankful for weed clubs and cannabis associations. If you are not yet a member of a cannabis clubIf you are a member, you should apply for an invitation. Once you are a member, you will have access to the club's menu and will be able to obtain and consume your cannabis products on site.
