How private associations and coffee shops work, and what to expect
What is a cannabis social club?
A cannabis social club (CSC) is a private, non-profit members' association where adults collectively cultivate and share cannabis for personal use in a regulated, private environment. Members pay fees that fund collective cultivation — they are not buying cannabis retail. Access is restricted to registered members, consumption takes place on the premises only, and the club operates under applicable national law. CSCs are fundamentally different from retail dispensaries or public shops.
Can tourists visit cannabis social clubs?
Cannabis social clubs in Spain are private, non-profit associations, so access is subject to each club's own policies. Many clubs on Mallorca do welcome visitors, particularly those listed as tourist-friendly. Check a club's Mallorca CSC profile to see whether it accepts new visitors and what its introduction process involves.
What should I bring when visiting a club?
Always bring a valid government-issued photo ID proving you are 18 or older — a passport, national ID card, or driver's licence is accepted at most clubs. Some clubs may also ask for proof of membership or a prior introduction. Check the specific club's Mallorca CSC profile for any additional requirements.
What are the general rules at a cannabis social club?
Most clubs enforce: members-only access, age verification (18+) at every visit, consumption on the premises only, no cannabis taken off the premises, no alcohol or harder substances on site, and respectful behaviour. Specific rules vary by club and are listed on each club's Mallorca CSC profile where available.
Can I bring friends to a cannabis social club?
Each person wishing to enter a cannabis social club must be an individual member or go through the club's own guest introduction process independently. You cannot bring non-members in as casual guests in most clubs — membership is personal and non-transferable. If you are visiting as a tourist, each person in your group needs their own prior introduction or valid membership. Group size limits may also apply at some venues.
What do I do if I have a bad experience at a club?
If you feel unsafe or are treated badly, leave the venue. Do not escalate conflicts on the premises. You can report your experience through Mallorca CSC by leaving an honest review — this helps other members of the community make informed decisions. If a club has provided materially false information on its listing, use our report function to flag it for review. For serious incidents involving harm or illegal activity, contact local authorities.
What consumption methods are typically permitted at clubs?
Consumption rules vary by venue and by national law. Most cannabis social clubs permit smoking and the use of dry herb vaporisers on the premises. Some clubs accommodate concentrates or edibles; others do not. Combustion (smoking) is the most universally accepted method. Always check the specific club's rules before visiting — many venues display their house rules in their Mallorca CSC profile or at reception.
What does "tourist-friendly" mean on a club listing?
It depends on the club. Some clubs have confirmed directly with us that they welcome international visitors through their introduction process — others have told us this, and we haven't independently verified it. The label doesn't tell you which. Always confirm access requirements directly with the venue before you visit.
