Hello friends, I was recently in Benidorm and I had an idea to talk about the legality of marijuana in Spain.

I arrived in Benidorm early in the morning. The sun had not yet managed to gain its Spanish heat, but in the air you could already feel that this city breathes in its own way. The hotel stood on the edge of Levante beach, where blue umbrellas lazily dozed in the morning breeze. I threw my backpack in the room, opened the balcony and realized that I had come for a reason.

The first day - as always during a trip - is filled with a mixture of expectations and discoveries. I walked along the embankment, looked into a coffee shop, where a seller with a face of constant sun handed me the softest cappuccino I have ever drunk. All around are tourists, Spaniards, mixed languages and rhythms that merge into one in Benidorm - serene.

But the main thing was yet to come. I came not just for the sea and cafes, but for a rest without frames, without haste - for peace, in which you can stretch out the day until sunset. And so, returning to the room, I opened Telegram, found a contact left over from the last trip - and ordered.

In Benidorm, it works differently than in Amsterdam. There are no neon shop windows, no open sales. But there are services - neat, polite, without intrusiveness. Twenty minutes later I received confirmation, another thirty - there was a knock on the door. A young guy, like a sushi delivery courier, handed me a small box and wished me a good evening. Everything is simple, as if I ordered a pizza.

Returning to the balcony, I took my first breath. Slowly. The aroma was soft, with notes of citrus and pine, and with it came that very state: the world became a little quieter, thoughts - lighter, laughter - closer. In the distance, there was a street concert, at the bar they applauded the guitarist, who sang in his own way about freedom.

I was in no hurry. I just sat there, looking at the city, shimmering with lights like a carnival ribbon. Later I went down to the bar - a local one, without tourist signs, where they serve tapas that make you want to hug the chef. The Spaniards nearby laughed loudly, without embarrassment. I just joined in with their rhythm - not as a guest, but as part of the decor.

That night I slept with the balcony open. And in this wind, these lights and the residual warmth, I understood why people come back here. Benidorm is not just a resort. This is a place where you can allow yourself to be. No schedules, no roles. Just you, the sea and the smoke that slowly dissolves into the sky.

Where to smoke marijuana/hashish in Benidorm?

I hope this article will help you understand the issue of the legality of medical and recreational marijuana in Spain, because in fact everything is not so clear-cut here.

First, a little information about the types of chemical compounds contained in cannabis, this is important, you will understand why later.

We are interested in two cannabinoids: tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). Only THC has pronounced psychoactive properties, which is what makes marijuana so popular in popular culture. And the issue of marijuana legalization is directly related to the legality of THC.

CBD, on the other hand, acts rather unnoticed by the user, expressing itself in a decrease in anxiety and other effects that are hardly related to recreational use.

CBD is much more accessible, the legislation of many European countries classifies products containing CBD extract as food.

That is why, walking around, for example, Benidorm, you can come across cannabis shops with marijuana on display, but it is worth understanding that this is designed for superficial tourists who have never heard of CBD, they think that they are buying regular marijuana, because the seller is in no hurry to clarify that his product contains 0% THC. After all, if it were otherwise, the sale would look completely different.

Buy marijuana / hashish / weed in Benidorm / Alicante

Spanish law allows the purchase of marijuana in the following way: you join a private club of "cannabis lovers", make membership fees and they give you marijuana in accordance with your deposit. Formally, you do not buy anything, but in fact, you just buy grass from dealers in a specially designated place. Any outdoor advertising of such places is prohibited by law, so any person who ends up in such a place is not accidental, sometimes even an invitation from a friend and filling out a questionnaire on their website is required. You need to come with a passport, and they will also take pictures of you - everything is serious.

Smoking is allowed either at home or on the club grounds. But this does not prevent Barcelona from smelling very strongly of cannabis in the evening.

As for the police and their view of the situation - honestly, I don’t know. Subjectively, I will say that you can expect a lot from the Spanish police. For example, I was detained for some nonsense and had a long conversation.

But I think you are unlikely to end up behind bars, because in Benidorm there are real runners and dealers who, of course, sell more than just weed.

Is cannabis/weed legal in Spain?

Spain is one of the countries in Europe with the most lenient laws regarding marijuana. Although the sale of cannabis remains technically illegal, personal consumption and cultivation for personal use are permitted subject to certain conditions. Here are the main ones:

Consumption is permitted only in private places - at home or in special cannabis clubs.
Smoking on the street or in public places is prohibited and may result in a fine.
Selling marijuana is illegal, but distribution among members of a closed club is legal.

What are cannabis clubs?

Cannabis clubs (or "marijuana associations") are non-profit organizations legally registered under Spanish law. Their members can grow and consume cannabis together inside the club's premises, without access to the general public.

To join a club, you must:

Be of legal age (18+ or 21+, depending on the club).
Have a Spanish address or be a permanent resident (in some cases, tourists may be allowed).
Receive an invitation from an existing member or through the club's website.
Pay an annual membership fee (usually between 20 and 50 euros).
