Proof of age (mandatory)
The exact requirements to join a cannabis social club in Barcelona depend on the exact club. Firstly, there is an age requirement for members to be at least 18 years old, while some clubs may require members to be over 21 years old. All applicants must bring a valid picture ID.
Proof of address (optional)
Some of the more exclusive clubs may require a proof of address, to show that you are a Barcelona local. Such proof can be a rental agreement or a utility bill in your name. Most clubs don’t ask for this, but it’s good to know it’s a possibility.
Proof of welcome
Since cannabis clubs operate on a private members-only basis, you can’t just walk up to the front desk and demand you join. Officially you should get a referral from an existing member, or at minimum call, text, or email the establishment that you’d like to join beforehand.
You must be able to prove that your presence is welcome. While this may sound like a big challenge, a proof of welcome can be any piece of online communication, such as an email or chat invitation from the club.
Fees
The actual enrolment process is pretty straightforward. Once you contact a club with a question, they’ll usually ask you to come to their premises and discuss things in person. When you do that you should always bring a valid ID.
As you join the club, you might have a brief interview with the manager of the space. These are basically orientation sessions where you get to learn the house rules and get to ask all your questions. After that, you will likely be issued a club membership card, although there might be a waiting period for approval, depending on the club.
For example, at Zkitlez Social Private Club we minimize red tape bureaucracy and try to get our new members up to speed immediately.
