Introduction

You’ve booked your invitation, chosen your club, and you’re ready to visit. But wait – what do you actually need to bring?

Getting turned away at the door because you forgot proper ID or didn’t bring cash is more common than you’d think. Don’t let a simple oversight ruin your plans.

This complete checklist covers everything you need to bring to a cannabis club in Spain – the essentials, the recommended items, and insider tips that most guides don’t mention.

Quick Checklist (Print This!)

✅ Required (You WILL Be Turned Away Without These)

• Valid passport OR national ID card
• Invitation confirmation (email or printed)
• Cash (minimum €50 recommended)

✅ Recommended (Makes Your Visit Smoother)

• Phone with confirmation email accessible
• Proof of accommodation (hotel booking)
• Extra cash (€100 for comfortable budget)
• Small backpack or bag

✅ Optional (Nice to Have)

• Breath mints or gum
• Eye drops
• Water bottle
• Portable phone charger
• Sunglasses (for after your visit)

Required Item #1: Valid Photo ID

This is non-negotiable. No ID = No entry.

What’s Accepted:

Our Recommendation:

Bring your passport. It’s universally accepted at every club in Spain. Don’t risk being turned away because a club doesn’t accept your driver’s license.

Age Requirements:

Check your specific club’s age requirement before visiting. Some clubs are stricter than others.

Pro Tip:

Leave your passport in your hotel safe? Many tourists do for safety. For cannabis clubs, you’ll need to bring it. Consider carrying it in a secure money belt or zipped pocket.

Required Item #2: Invitation Confirmation

You booked your access – now prove it.

What to Bring:

Option A: Email on your phone (Recommended)

• Have the confirmation email ready to show
• Screenshot it in case of poor signal
• Make sure your phone is charged

Option B: Printed confirmation

• Some people prefer paper backup
• Useful if your phone dies
• Not required, but helpful

What Your Confirmation Should Show:

• Your name (matching your ID)
• Club name
• Confirmation number or booking reference
• Date of booking

What If I Lost My Confirmation?

Contact the invitation service (Green Dream Club support) before your visit. We can resend your confirmation via email.

Required Item #3: Cash (Euros)

Spanish cannabis clubs are primarily cash-based. Don’t assume you can pay by card.

How Much to Bring:

What You’ll Pay For:

ATMs Nearby?

Yes, ATMs are common in Barcelona, Valencia, and Málaga. But:

• ATM fees can be €3-5 per withdrawal
• Some ATMs have low limits
• Lines at popular tourist ATMs

Better plan: Withdraw cash before heading to the club.

Card Payments:

Recommended Item #4: Phone With Email Access

Your smartphone is your backup for everything.

Why You Need It:

• ✅ Show confirmation email at door
• ✅ GPS directions to the club
• ✅ Translate if needed (Google Translate)
• ✅ Contact support if issues arise
• ✅ Order a taxi/Uber afterwards

Before You Leave Your Hotel:

• Confirmation email accessible (screenshot it!)
• Club address saved in Maps
• Phone charged (50%+ recommended)
• Mobile data working OR offline maps downloaded

Pro Tip:

Save the club’s address in Google Maps or Apple Maps before leaving. Some clubs are in locations with poor signal.

Recommended Item #5: Proof of Accommodation

Not always required, but good to have.

Why Some Clubs Ask:

• Confirms you’re staying in the city
• Part of their membership verification
• Helps with legal compliance

What Works:

Do All Clubs Require This?

No. Maybe 30% of clubs ask for it. But having it ready means no delays at registration.

What to Wear

Cannabis clubs don’t have strict dress codes, but here’s what works:

✅ Good Choices:

• Casual comfortable clothing
• Sneakers or comfortable shoes
• Light jacket (clubs can be air-conditioned)
• Whatever you’d wear to a café

❌ Avoid:

• Beach swimwear only
• Heavily intoxicated appearance
• Aggressive/offensive clothing
• Overly formal (you’ll feel out of place)

The Vibe:

Think “casual evening out” – not nightclub, not beach, not business meeting. Just relaxed and presentable.

What NOT to Bring

Some things are better left at your hotel:

❌ Don’t Bring:

About Photography:

Most clubs have a strict no-photo policy inside. This protects member privacy. Leave your camera mentality at the door – enjoy the moment instead.

Arrival Tips

Finding the Entrance

Cannabis clubs don’t have big signs. Look for:

• Discrete door with intercom/buzzer
• Small plaque or number
• Follow directions in your confirmation email exactly

At the Door

1. Ring the bell/intercom
2. State that you have an invitation
3. Wait to be buzzed in
4. Approach reception desk

Registration Process

Total time: 5-10 minutes, then you’re free to enjoy!

After Registration: Club Etiquette

Now you’re in. Here’s how to have a great time:

✅ Do:

• Ask staff for recommendations
• Start slow if you’re new to Spanish cannabis
• Respect other members’ space
• Keep your belongings together
• Tip staff if service is excellent (not required)
• Thank staff when leaving

❌ Don’t:

• Take photos or videos
• Be loud or disruptive
• Pressure others to socialize
• Try to leave with products
• Share your purchases with non-members
• Overstay closing time

Emergency Checklist: Forgot Something?

Forgot Your Passport?

Solution: Go back and get it. No workaround exists – clubs legally cannot admit you without proper ID.

Forgot Your Confirmation?

Solution: Check your email on your phone. If you can’t find it, contact Green Dream Club support – we can resend it quickly.

Forgot Cash?

Solution: Find a nearby ATM. Ask the club if there’s one close by – staff are usually helpful.

Phone Died?

Solution: If you have a printed confirmation, you’re fine. If not, find a café to charge your phone first.
