In Granada, cannabis isn’t legally sold in shops. Like the rest of Spain, the main way people access it is through private cannabis social clubs or in private spaces. Recreational cannabis remains partly decriminalized but public possession, sale, or smoking is illegal. 

🌿 How people get weed in Granada (2026)

1️⃣ Cannabis social clubs (main option)

Most locals who consume cannabis join private, members-only cannabis social clubs. These clubs operate as non-profit associations where members collectively cultivate and share cannabis. 

Typical requirements:

• Age 18+ or 21+

• Valid passport or ID

• Membership registration + small fee

• Invitation or referral from a member 

Inside the club you can:

• relax in a lounge environment

• socialize with other members

• consume cannabis privately on site

Cannabis obtained there usually must be consumed inside the club rather than taken into public spaces. 

💰 Typical prices in Spanish clubs:

• about €8–€15 per gram for flower depending on strain. 

2️⃣ CBD cannabis shops

Granada also has legal stores selling CBD hemp products (very low THC).

One example is:

• CBD Green Prophecy

These shops sell CBD flowers, oils, and edibles that are legal but do not produce the same psychoactive effect as THC cannabis.
