What you need to know about cannabis clubs after Covid-19
The reopening of cannabis clubs after Covid-19 has finally arrived! Spain, as part of the easing of virus containment measures, has ordered the reopening of various commercial activities, including cannabis clubs.
However, these are openings bound to a whole series of rules aimed at guaranteeing the safety of patrons and consumers.
With the closures due to the spread of the epidemic, cannabis clubs have been assimilated to restaurants and pubs. They were forced to close without being able to guarantee their cannabis supply to their members.
Nor was the request to have them opened just to “sell” the products worth it. In fact, Spanish legislation does not provide for the possibility of transporting marijuana outside of clubs. In this way, regular consumers, in two months of lock down, found themselves without supplies and unable to obtain marijuana, even for therapeutic purposes. The reopening of cannabis clubs after Covid-19 puts an end to this state of difficulty and allows members to access the clubs again, but with a series of limitations. These are basic hygiene rules based on the principle of social distancing to guarantee safety and not contribute to a new spread of the epidemic. Rules that provide obligations on both the club managers and the members.
Let’s see together what it is.
