Here&#x27;s a plain-language overview for visitors. It isn&#x27;t legal advice.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Private use vs public use<\/h2><p>Consumption by adults in private is generally tolerated. Using cannabis in public, or carrying it openly in public spaces, is a different story. Under Spain&#x27;s citizen security law, it&#x27;s considered a serious administrative offence, with fines that can start at around 600 euros.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What counts as &quot;public&quot;?<\/h2><p>Streets, squares, parks, beaches, terraces, public transport, stations and vehicles parked on the street.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Selling is not allowed<\/h2><p>Selling cannabis is illegal. That&#x27;s why genuine clubs never sell to the public, never advertise prices and never approach people in the street.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clubs<\/h2><p>Cannabis social clubs operate as private, non-profit associations for adult members. Consumption happens on the premises. Taking cannabis outside the club removes you from that private setting.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Driving<\/h2><p>Driving after consuming cannabis is illegal and dangerous. Police carry out roadside drug tests.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Travel<\/h2><p>Never take cannabis across borders, including on flights within Europe.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to stay out of trouble<\/h2><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Keep everything inside the club.<\/li><li>Never buy in the street.<\/li><li>Carry your ID.<\/li><li>Don&#x27;t drive.<\/li><li>Be respectful of neighbours and the local community.<\/li><\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Biohazard Madrid<\/h2><p>We&#x27;re a private club for adults 18+, run with respect for the law and the neighbourhood.
