Introduction
Mallorca is not just about azure coves, majestic Tramuntana mountains, and delightful gastronomy. For many tourists and locals, the question of the legality of marijuana on the island remains a mystery. The internet is rife with conflicting rumors, and the reality, as is often the case, is more complex and interesting. Let’s break down what is and isn’t allowed on sunny Mallorca, and what those so-called private clubs are all about.
Legal Status: What Does the Law Say?
The most important thing to understand: In Spain, the possession and consumption of marijuana in private spaces is decriminalized. This is the key point.
- Private Consumption: You can possess and consume cannabis in your own home or in another private space. The law does not prohibit this.
- Public Space: Smoking in public places (streets, parks, beaches) is prohibited and punishable by fines. Fines can be significant (from €700 and up), so it’s not worth the risk.
- Purchase and Sale: The direct sale of marijuana is illegal. You cannot simply walk into a shop and buy a gram like in the Netherlands.
A logical question arises: if consumption is allowed, but buying is not, how does it all work? The answer lies in a unique Spanish phenomenon – Cannabis Social Clubs.
What is a Cannabis Club in Mallorca?
These are not commercial coffeeshops, but private associations operating within the legal framework of the Spanish law on associations. Their principle is:
- Non-Profit: The club does not sell marijuana for profit. It covers the costs of cultivation and maintenance of the premises.
- Closed Community: Club members (adult residents of Spain) collectively grow a limited number of plants for personal consumption, without the right of resale.
- Private Territory: Consumption takes place strictly inside the club’s premises, which complies with the law on private space.
How to Become a Club Member? (Important Information!)
It’s not as simple as it seems, especially for tourists.
- Recommendation: Most clubs require a referral from an existing member.
- Age: You must be 18+ (sometimes 21+).
- Residency: Many clubs only accept those who have a residence permit or a Spanish DNI (identity card). This is the main obstacle for short-term tourists.
- Registration: You must fill out an application and become an official member of the association, paying a membership fee.
- Anonymity: You cannot just walk in off the street. Pre-registration online or by phone is often required.
Are There Addresses for Clubs?
Here is the most important point: Publishing specific addresses and names of clubs goes against their privacy and security policy.
Cannabis clubs are not public establishments. They are often located in discreet locations, without signs, to avoid attracting the attention of tourists and disturbing public order. Their “address” is their closed community.
Searching for “cannabis club Palma de Mallorca” on Google Maps may show some locations, but be prepared that you may not be allowed in without meeting the conditions described above.
What Should a Tourist Do?
The situation for visitors is difficult. Most reputable clubs do not accept foreigners without a residence permit. However, you can place an order online HERE 🥦🍄 📦💊💨
- Word of Mouth: Communication in thematic chats, forums (such as Grasscity or CannaCabanna).
- Social Networks: Some clubs have their profiles on Instagram or Telegram.
- Local Guides: Some guides may have contacts, but this is a questionable method in terms of reliability.
Warning and Liability
- Buying from dealers on the street is extremely dangerous. You risk encountering low-quality products, fraud, and serious problems with the police, as street dealing is completely illegal.
- The police in Mallorca are cracking down on illegal trafficking, and your foreign citizenship will not be a mitigating circumstance.
Conclusion
Mallorca offers a unique, but strictly regulated, experience related to cannabis. The cannabis club system is designed for locals and residents, not for mass tourism. It is a legal, but closed world, which is difficult to enter.
