In a Few Lines<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A cannabis social club is an association of adults who already use cannabis and who organize themselves to grow it collectively and consume it in a private space. It does not sell to the public, has no storefront, and does not allow non-members to enter. In Spain, the sale of cannabis is a crime, and consumption in public is punishable by fines ranging from 601 to 30,000 euros; thus, the club is, in fact, a way to keep consumption within the private sphere.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Como_es_la_primera_visita_a_BCN_Kush\"><\/span>What's the first visit to BCN Kush like?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We'd rather tell you what's really going on, without embellishment, so you'll come with the right expectations.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Antes_de_venir\"><\/span>Before You Come<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Make sure you have everything you need.
