Maximum Yield Cannabis Canada July/August 2023 | Page 51

love everything about Barcelona . The street art , the food , the

I culture , the weather , the people , and the fact that it is pretty progressive regarding weed . Barcelona ’ s weed scene is extensive but , at the same time , hard to find if you don ’ t know where to look . This city has much history , making it easy for the thriving cannabis scene to fly mainly under the radar . There are more than 300 clubs hidden in the town , the best being discoverable through word of mouth and open to private memberships from about 20 euros . In the clubs , you must smoke indoors ; otherwise , local police can , at the very least , issue fines for public consumption . Spain ’ s partially decriminalized cannabis industry exists in a relatively grey area . However , it is one of the few European countries where you can grow your own at home under certain circumstances . As a result , cultivators have less to lose by entering the Spanish marketplace , and some of Europe ’ s best growers and businesses have made Spain their home .

What Spain may still lack in regulatory framework , however , it makes up for it in passion and heart , and that ’ s just one thing that makes Spannabis unmissable . The energy and adoration for all things cannabis are tangible here . As a result , Spannabis is a world-renowned event on the cannabis calendar . It ’ s a place where the international cannabis community gathers to do business , make contacts and friends , and swap stories . People in the cannabis community flock to Barcelona every year because Spannabis is different from other shows ; it ’ s about community and soul and captures the essence of the cannabis movement in Barcelona . The international cannabis industry surely did not disappoint and showed up in droves as Spannabis Barcelona ushered in its 19th year by welcoming industry members and consumers to the Fira de Cornellà from March 10-12 .
