Marijuana laws and legislation for Seville
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
Police – Not in Seville.
When I lived in Seville, I hardly ever saw police officers. I had no problem walking down a side street and taking a few puffs on a pipe or a joint. Many Spaniards do the same.
Where can you buy marijuana?
If you want to buy some, your best bet is to ask around in bars and clubs for people who smoke themselves or who you think might. You'll usually pay more, the quality will be poor, and you'll get less. But you might also get lucky and meet someone who grows their own weed.
And furthermore: “As the smoker before me already mentioned, go to the end of the Paseo de Colón. There’s a small park there by the bridge, but we didn’t see any hippies or smokers. However, if you go down the stairs to the river, you’ll find someone selling hashish. Just ask around. In our case, it was Moroccans, pretty strong hashish, good quality.”
Comments
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
20 euros for about 4 grams of hashish. Buy this first. If you want more, show more money after you've spent and tried the first 20 euros. If you simply say, "Okay, give me double that for 40 euros," they'll try to sell you the first piece for 40 (we didn't take it for 40 euros, but paid 30 euros for what we could have gotten for 20; the quality was good anyway).
Further information
At the end of Paseo del Colon and Calle Reyes Catolicos, by the river, there's a park. It's a great place to hang out, have a drink, and smoke. On sunny days, it's usually full of hippies. Club Elefunk in Barrio de Santa Cruz is a great club where smoking weed is allowed inside. Fun Club at Plaza de Alameda de Hercules is another great club where smoking is permitted indoors.
Seville, Spain City History:
You can sit and smoke in a few parks near Plaça Encarnación or Plaça de España. Nobody ever said anything to us. Take plenty to drink so the heat doesn't kill you.
Smoking weed all day in the sun in Seville, Spain, where locals and the law are so accepting of marijuana and hashish that home cultivation is legal. Spain is the European country closest to Morocco and boasts a history of cannabis and hashish smoking spanning over 1500 years.
“You can always find something in the city center – especially in some squares – if you don’t know where to get it,” said David from the USA, who was visiting Seville.
Spanish pro-cannabis activists have even launched a "Grow-Your-Own-Stone" campaign to promote marijuana cultivation and encourage people to move from the dealer sector to growing their own.
“We teach people how to overcome their dependence on the black market while experiencing the joys of self-sufficiency,” said Felipe Borrallo, president of Spain’s largest cannabis association ARSEC.
Since Spanish drug laws are limited to public spaces, you only need to worry if you intend to smoke cannabis on the street, in a museum, or in a park. If caught, possession of up to 50 grams of cannabis is considered personal use and is a criminal offense. Larger quantities, which must be divided into smaller portions, will likely lead to being classified as a dealer and charged with "attempting to harm public health," which can result in imprisonment.
If you want to buy marijuana, expect to pay around $4 to $5 per gram, which is usually of medium to high quality, or $15 to $20 for five grams. Moroccan hashish, which can be of questionable quality, costs around $8 to $10 for five grams.
“If you can get weed, it’s better for you,” said Rich, a traveling pot smoker. “Hashish is easy to find, but the quality is very poor.”
The best time to enjoy Spain's marijuana and hashish is the Feria de Sevilla, a week-long festival that begins in April and attracts more than a million people from all over the world.
"In the afternoon, a big party begins with flamenco dancing, entertainment stalls, bullfights, horseback riding, flower-decorated carriages, and dancing in the streets," said tourist Ariel after visiting the festival. "This is repeated day after day for a whole week."
Drink sangria at the Real de la Feria, a tent city near the Rio Guadalquivir, the heart of the festival. Take a hit from your joint, then head out to experience flamenco dancing, bullfights, and general revelry.
The Real de la Feria's colorful tents, known as casetas, stretch for about a mile and a half and are illuminated by thousands of paper lanterns. Sponsored by all sorts of people, from Spanish aristocratic families to local bars, most casetas feature flamenco dancing from around 21 pm until 7 am.
The most famous and infamous caseta is Er 77, where the wine is drawn in buckets from a well and an attentive person had the idea of setting up cots for naps in the back.
Los Duendes de Sevilla, or the goblins of Seville, is another caseta worth visiting.
If you stumble into the right caseta, you might even find a friendly joint being passed around.
After a long night of smoking, try to get up early enough in the afternoon to catch a glimpse of the ultimate Spanish spectator sport, bullfighting.
The spectacle begins every afternoon at 17:30 pm in the Plaza de Toros de Maestranza, also known locally as "The Cathedral". As you relax and enjoy the excitement in the late afternoon sun, remember that you are watching some of Spain's best matadors in the arena.
If you are in Seville at other times of the year, don't worry: there are plenty of activities, sights and weed to make you happy and high.
Visit the Barrio de Santa Cruz to experience local life.
The atmosphere in the Casa Roman bar on the Plaza de los Venerables is defined by the rows of smoked hams hanging from the ceiling, while the Plaza Dona Elvira is a good place to impress the young guitar-playing locals.
