Will Spain Pass Cannabis Reforms In 2023

Europe is getting increasingly more and more cannabis tolerant

Cannabis reform is on the move across the globe, with the European continent being particularly ripe for adult-use cannabis legalization right now. It is no secret that lawmakers in Germany are pushing for legalization and that a measure is expected to be formally introduced in the first quarter of this year. When that happens, it will likely set off a cannabis reform butterfly effect in many countries across Europe. Will that extend to Spain?

Spain is home to one of the best cannabis communities on earth, with Barcelona in particular serving as the social cannabis use capital of the world. You will be hard-pressed to find a better place on the planet to be a cannabis consumer than in Spain, with hundreds of private cannabis clubs operating in a legal grey market. However, the current situation in Spain has yielded a populace that is seemingly complacent about cannabis reform, and that has historically complicated legalization efforts.

What Is The Current Status Of Cannabis Policy In Spain?

Cannabis policy in Spain is unique in many ways, with the current approach to cannabis regulation being very limited despite commerce being so commonplace. Private cannabis activity is not prohibited in Spain per se, which is why private cannabis clubs have become so popular. Yet it’s a situation that is not likely sustainable and it would greatly benefit consumers, patients, entrepreneurs, investors, and taxpayers if Spain updated its cannabis laws and regulations.

Cannabis reform efforts in Spain are set to be a very popular topic at the upcoming International Cannabis Business Conference in Barcelona, taking place on March 9.

Attorney Bernardo Soriano Guzmán, from the leading cannabis firm S & F Abogados, will serve as the moderator for the ‘Squaring The Circle Of Industrial Hemp In Spain’ panel at the event. I recently reached out to Bernardo Soriano Guzmán leading up to the conference to get the real scoop about what is going on in Spain.
