Spain

Cannabis laws in Spain follow Spain’s national law. City-level policy rarely changes cannabis legality; jurisdiction law determines legal risk.

Medical cannabis is regulated and available. Recreational use is illegal under the law. In practice, small amounts for personal use often result in administrative fines rather than criminal charges, while public use carries greater risk.

Quick facts

• Recreational: Illegal (personal use often decriminalized)
• Medical: Available
• Possession: Small personal amounts often fined
• Buying/Selling: Illegal
• Tourists: Subject to the same laws as residents

Practical guidance

Avoid cross-border transport of cannabis products. Do not assume informal tolerance equals legality.
