Marijuana laws and legislation for Granada
Since February 2025, the regulation of medical cannabis has been progressing in Spain. In September 2024, the Spanish Ministry of Health published a draft royal decree establishing the framework for medical cannabis use. This draft law permits only specialist physicians to prescribe cannabis-based treatments for certain conditions, including severe treatment-resistant epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, chronic treatment-resistant pain, and chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. Prescribed cannabis preparations will be available exclusively in hospital pharmacies as compounded prescriptions, with the exception of plant-based raw materials such as cannabis flowers. The list of qualifying conditions may expand as scientific knowledge evolves.
Recreational cannabis use remains illegal in Spain; however, personal cultivation and consumption in private spaces are decriminalized under certain conditions. Private individuals are permitted to grow cannabis for personal use, provided it is not publicly visible and not intended for sale. Public possession or consumption can be punished with fines ranging from €600 to €30.000. Cannabis social clubs operate in a legal gray area, allowing their members to cultivate and consume cannabis together in private settings. These clubs must operate as non-profit organizations and adhere to strict regulations to avoid legal issues.
In December 2024, the Autonomous Community of Madrid announced plans to introduce new regulations to protect minors from cannabis products such as CBD-containing vape oils and edibles. The proposed measures include a sales ban to individuals under 18, restrictions on vending machine sales, and limitations on advertising within 300 meters of educational institutions. These initiatives reflect ongoing efforts to reconcile public health concerns with evolving cannabis policy.
Criminal prosecution
In Spain, people are much more concerned about hard drugs (which are also easy to obtain here).
Where can you buy marijuana?
Calle Elvira is the marijuana capital of Granada. Watch out for stoned drivers on this narrow street; just wait a moment, and someone will offer you some. Around Plaza Nueva, you'll also find some wonderfully friendly, English-speaking, homeless hippies with plenty of marijuana. And finally, on Gran Via, in front of Caja Granada, there's a guitar-playing hippie who also has some.

On a wonderful evening at a nightclub, a nice guy helped me get some natural and healthy cannabis – an unforgettable moment of my vacation. I can always reach him at securedsupplier420@gmail.com. Highly recommended for top-notch marijuana.
Marijuana prices
As long as you look like you know what you're doing, you can get it for 6-8 euros per gram. Otherwise, you might end up paying 12 euros or more.
Further information
Calle Elvira is a good place to look. The hashish here comes directly from Morocco and is among the best in the world.
Here you can get local weed for 1-2 euros per gram.
Moroccan hashish (known as Caramello) is usually sold in small oval packets (someone's already had some trouble with them) and costs about 50-60 euros each. Worth a try.
Beware of unscrupulous gypsies.
