Actual Law In Spain About Growing Cannabis

[thetmg84]

Very good information here, what about outdoors on a plot of land?

I'm thinking about bying a small finca and put a caravan on there and grow my own food, electricity from solar panels etc..

Hi Fejkmin, did you move to Spain as intended? I'm interested in the doing something similar so any info or experience you've got would be great.

He, old thread. Alicante area.
Never EVER did anything arise from that, we never heard anything.

Yes I am growing again, but only TWO plants (keeping strict now even if it's often tempting to germinate more) at one time.

To all the others: The police and guardia civil ARE WELL AWARE what's going on and that people grow here like crazy. I can look through local news, there is no week where there is no major bust somewhere in the area. Sometimes, they bust large grows, at times 100s of plants, and then often also people with weapons (knives, guns, whatever etc.) or money stashed etc. Many times this involves Brits.

Just saying that the cops here know what's going on, so have common sense. If you grow, keep a reasonable number of plants and if ever someone comes, if you have only 2 or 3 plants it's *likely* you won't get into troubles. But if you have your house full dried buds, and bags...and scales....things could get ugly. Just saying...common sense!

From what i understand. Each autonomy (governing body of a certain area) can set their own rules about growing and how clubs operate. In Lanzarote (where I live) there are many clubs, 90% are coffee shop style, 75% accept tourists... Clubs are supposed to be non profit - but can pay salary from sale of weed to the people who work there. one guy who had too many dispensaries and club member lists of 10,000 people because of tourists, he got shut down for drug traffiking (I think he's in prison now.) However a new shop opened in same place with same staff and you still can get nice bud from there €6 to €8 and they accept tourists but can only grow enough bud for your holiday stay which is 90g if u were staying a month. Everything is logged at this club on a computer so its all monitored. However there are lots of coffee shop/cscs that still accept tourists some charging outragous prices of €15 euros a gram for seedy weed, and ive never seen them enter shit on a computer or write anything down, just sell u weed. Im pretty sure large grows arent allowed still, even for the clubs. The clubs only have license to supply weed, they can aquire it from black market or use small grows between the members and share the extra weed out with non growing members. As soon as you do a big grow and try make profit ur breaking the law.
I've been doing a lots of research in starting a club and even found some weed friendly lawyers to help. Soon

High everyone, like it has been said, it is illegal to grow marihuana here in Spain, even one plant. All you have to do is having common sense. If you grow one or two plants at home away from your neighbor's sight, be careful with odors and not telling anyone what you're doing, you will not get into trouble. The authorities look for dealers and major grows, as long as you are discreet and just keep it for your own consume you won't get into trouble ...

In spain what is isnside your house is inside ur house. What u do in ur house is what You do. (at least Tenerife). My friend go to the police station and asked about growing weed. The police said: quote"u can grow for ur self 4-5, 6plants as long as u r not distributing. Try not to show to others".

Old thread, but how is it in Spain nowadays? Someone here who is there and growing some pot?

Also...when someone like a neighbor "complains", in our case a total joke since someone complained "about the smell" and the plants were not even in flower, then the guardia civil/cops etc. are basically obligated to bust you, because of the complaint alone.

We have a suspicion that someone ratted us out, someone who is probably selling weed, but this of course only an assumption. There was no logical reason at all why someone would have complained, the plants were not visible to anyone (in a greenhouse) and there was no smell.

Here is the key to what happened to you: your plants "disturbed" third parties. Because contrary to what you claimed in your previous message, it is not illegal to plant or have a lot of marijuana at home in Spain.
But they must not be seen (or smelled) by third parties either from the ground or from buildings (from a drone or helicopter I don't think it doesn't matter): if they are and someone complains, they will destroy them, but nobody goes to jail for that, don't exaggerate.
And of course, it should be for your own consumption.

Re: actual law is apin about growing cannabis

In Spain, where the sun shines, cannabis is effectively decriminalised. Like many countries, the law still says marijuana is illegal but personal amounts and up to 5 plants are tolerated. The scene is a lot more relaxed and few people are paranoid about smoking or growing. Cannabis seeds are legal and so all the grow stores sell them. The cannabis-related industry in Spain does seem very big, with nationwide chains of grow and pipe stores. There is also helpful graffiti on many walls; black squares warn where police cameras are operating and weed leafs adorn dealing areas.

A huge amount of hash comes through Spain but most is not good enough to be sold in the Dutch coffeeshops so it is turned into "soap bars", which are notorious for being made with anything from engine oil to sand, and then sent to other countries that don’t have coffeeshops.

A tolerance policy is only as good as the individual police who choose to enforce the law or not.

What happens in spain if im caught wirh 50 plants but they have not flowered arw they considered cannibis or just plants

Growing for personal use is allowed in Spain. You'd have a hard time proving those 50 plants are for personal use though. Also, your plants can't be visible to the public (e.g. a balcony that can be seen from the street (or helicopters)).

get caught wit 50 plants going to jail....rule of thumb 3 per person in a household but common mistake, cannabis not legal in Spain, tolerated and won't tax ya tent /lights ( not that i grow indoors ) but ya plants getting taken away if neighbours complain or can even see them. 50 plants get ya canteen coin stocked, esp if any scales or plastic bags in the vicinity lmao Foods awful btw
