One of the first questions people ask before joining a cannabis club in Barcelona is how much membership costs. The honest answer is that there is no single price: each private cannabis association sets its own fee. But more important than the figure is understanding what that fee is, what it covers and, above all, what it is not.
What a membership fee is
A cannabis club is not a shop but a private non-profit association. When someone becomes a member, they are not buying a ticket or paying for consumption: they join an organisation as a member and contribute to keeping it running. That contribution is the membership fee, an amount set by the club to cover the association’s costs.
The fee is the usual way associations fund themselves without seeking profit. It is not a payment for a product or a one-off access charge: it is a member’s contribution to the life of the association for the relevant period.
What it usually covers
How the fee is used is defined by each association’s statutes, but it generally contributes to things like:
- The upkeep of the premises and its facilities.
- Running costs (utilities, cleaning, staff).
- The administration of registration and the members’ record.
- Community life: the shared space where members meet.
At Grasshopper Weed Club that space includes a lounge area, pool tables, board games and sports on screen, in a wheelchair-accessible and pet-friendly venue. You can see it on our club facilities page.
Why the fee is not a ticket
A ticket gives one-off access to a place in exchange for money. A membership fee is different: it does not buy access, it reflects your status as a member. You can only become a member after applying in advance and accepting the association’s rules; it is not something you pay at the door to drop in.
This difference matters. A cannabis club in Barcelona is not a point of sale to the public and access is reserved for members. Selling cannabis and consuming it in public spaces are prohibited: the framework is that of a private association in which only its members take part.
Why the fee is not a product purchase
Nor should the fee be mistaken for buying anything. It is a contribution to the association, not the price of an item or a price list. That is why you will not find a catalogue, strains, prices or availability on this website: that would be incompatible with a private non-profit association and with the very idea of a membership fee.
What it costs in practice
The exact amount and how often it is paid are decided by each club, so the only reliable answer comes from the club you want to join. Before deciding, ask directly what fee the club sets, how often it is paid and what it includes. We have gathered the most common questions in our frequently asked questions.
