Sants Station: What You Need to Know First<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Sants Station is the gateway to Barcelona for many people arriving by train from Madrid, Valencia, France, or the rest of Catalonia. It\u2019s common for someone, as they walk out with their suitcase, to type \u00abbuy marijuana in Sants\u00bb into their phone, thinking it will work the same way as in Amsterdam. It doesn\u2019t, and knowing this ahead of time will save you trouble.<\/p>\n<p>In Spain, there are no stores or coffee shops authorized to sell cannabis. The sale and trafficking of cannabis are crimes under Article 368 of the Penal Code. The only thing that is not a crime is private consumption by an adult. That\u2019s why the useful question isn\u2019t where to buy it, but where you can consume it without getting into trouble.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Por_que_no_hay_ningun_punto_de_venta_autorizado\"><\/span>Why Are There No Authorized Retailers?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Many people assume that if there are cannabis clubs in Barcelona, there must also be cannabis for sale. The reality is quite different:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Penal Code criminalizes the sale of cannabis, whether in a store, on the street, or via courier.<\/li>\n<li>Cannabis social clubs do not sell cannabis: they are private, nonprofit associations of adult users who share a crop and consume it in their own space.<\/li>\n<li>There is no state law establishing cannabis stores. Catalan Law 13\/2017, which regulated cannabis clubs, was struck down by the Constitutional Court in 2018.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Anyone who offers to \u00absell\u00bb marijuana to you in Barcelona is acting outside the law, and you, as the buyer, are also taking risks.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Los_peligros_de_comprar_cerca_de_una_estacion\"><\/span>The Dangers of Shopping Near a Station<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Major train stations and their surrounding areas attract many people passing through, which makes them a common spot for street vendors targeting travelers. Shopping there is a bad idea for several reasons.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Estafas\"><\/span>Scams<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Anyone who sells on the street knows that a traveler isn't going to come back to complain. It's common to pay for something that isn't what it seems, to receive less than what was agreed upon, or for the whole thing to be just an excuse to get your money.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Producto_adulterado\"><\/span>Adulterated product<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You don't know where it comes from or what's in it. Weed with traces of pesticides, poorly cured, or mixed with other substances is a real risk to your health.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Multas\"><\/span>Fines<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Carrying cannabis in public is a serious offense under Organic Law 4\/2015, punishable by fines ranging from 601 to 30,000 euros. High-traffic areas, such as train stations, have a regular police presence.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Riesgo_con_el_viaje\"><\/span>Travel Risks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">If you\u2019re continuing your journey by train or plane, carrying cannabis complicates things. You can\u2019t leave Spain with cannabis or take it on a plane. We go into detail in our article on <a href=\"https:\/\/barcelonakush.com\/en\/carrying-marijuana-on-the-train\/\">carrying marijuana on the train<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Si_te_alojas_en_Sants_Hostafrancs_o_Les_Corts\"><\/span>If you're staying in Sants, Hostafrancs, or Les Corts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Many people choose to stay near Estaci\u00f3 de Sants for convenience: good train and metro connections, and a neighborhood vibe. If that\u2019s the case for you, it makes sense to look for a cannabis club near where you\u2019re staying instead of crossing the city. That way, you avoid navigating Barcelona without knowing your way around and get to know the neighborhood from the inside.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>If you're in\u2026<\/th>\n<th>How to Get to BCN Kush<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Sants Station<\/td>\n<td>You're close by: the club is in the same neighborhood<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Pla\u00e7a de Sants or Hostafrancs<\/td>\n<td>Pla\u00e7a de Sants Metro Station (L1 and L5)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Badal Area<\/td>\n<td>Badal Metro Station (L5)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Les Corts<\/td>\n<td>Pla\u00e7a del Centre Metro Station (L3)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">And if you have free time between trains or during your stay, take a look at our guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/barcelonakush.com\/en\/things-to-do-in-sants\/\">things to do in Sants<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Como_hacerte_socio_de_un_club_en_Sants\"><\/span>How to Become a Member of a Club in Sants<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>An alternative to buying on the street is to join a cannabis association. At BCN Kush, located at Carrer de Galileu, 124, the process is the same as at any reputable club:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Be at least 18 years old.<\/strong> No exceptions.<\/li>\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Bring your valid ID<\/strong>: DNI, NIE or passport.<\/li>\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Have a member\u2019s endorsement or invitation<\/strong>, in accordance with our internal rules.<\/li>\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Accept the club rules<\/strong>, which include consuming on the premises and not taking cannabis out.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Once inside, you consume in a private space, with a team that guides you and without the uncertainty of the street.
