Becoming a member of a cannabis club in Barcelona does not work like walking into a bar or a shop. A private cannabis association is a non-profit entity with access reserved for members, and joining follows a process with requirements and rules. This guide explains that process step by step so you know what to expect before visiting Grasshopper Weed Club, in the Sant Antoni neighbourhood.
Important from the outset: completing an application does not guarantee admission. Each association sets its own conditions and assesses them case by case.
What a cannabis association is and why there is a process
A cannabis social club is a private, non-profit association. It is not a point of sale to the public: selling and consuming in public spaces are prohibited, and access is reserved exclusively for members. That is why there is a formal sign-up rather than open entry. The process defines who belongs to the community and under which rules.
Step 1: the prior application
The first step is to submit a membership application. This is usually done in advance, not at the door, so the association can learn about your interest and check that you meet the conditions. You can start your application on the become a member of Grasshopper Weed Club page, where the required details are collected.
Step 2: meeting the access requirements
To join you will need, at a minimum:
- To be of legal age according to the club’s conditions. Each association sets the minimum age.
- A valid ID document (national ID, NIE or passport) for verification.
- Meet the admission conditions set by the association, which are communicated during the sign-up process.
You can review the detailed requirements and common questions in the club’s frequently asked questions.
Step 3: identity verification and accepting the rules
Before validating your membership, the association verifies your identity and asks you to read and accept its internal rules: respect for privacy, responsible use of the facilities and the commitment that consumption takes place only within the private space. Accepting these rules is part of joining.
Step 4: the membership fee
Associations are sustained through a membership fee set by the club. This fee is not an entry ticket or a purchase: it is the contribution that ties you to the entity as a member and helps maintain the space and the community. The amount and frequency are set by each association.
Step 5: membership validation
Once the application is submitted, your identity verified, the rules accepted and the fee formalised, the association validates your membership. From that point you can access the space as a member, within opening hours.
