Cannabis in Tenerife: the short answer

There are no cannabis shops for tourists in Tenerife. Spain’s cannabis social clubs are private associations for adults, and each one decides under its own rules whether to admit a visitor. Here is what you should know before you go.

The rules for visitors in Tenerife

• No shops: Cannabis cannot be bought legally in shops in Spain. Buying on the street is illegal, and the quality is unknown.
• Public places: Consuming or carrying cannabis on streets, on beaches, in parks or on terraces can lead to fines.
• Private clubs: Cannabis social clubs are private associations for adults. Each club sets its own membership and admission rules and may refuse a visitor.
• Age and ID: You must be 18 or older, and clubs usually check your passport or ID card.
• Travel: Never take cannabis to the airport, onto a plane or across a border.

How club access works in Tenerife

Clubs are private. They often ask visitors for an invitation or a referral from a member, a valid ID and an entry fee. The Zazapass Invite Pass covers only the entry fee at participating clubs, if the club accepts you. It does not make you a member and does not guarantee admission: each club decides. Zazapass lists participating clubs on the Tenerife page.

Getting to and around Tenerife

Tenerife has two airports, Tenerife South in the south and Tenerife North in the north-east, and the distance between the two coasts matters, so choose your base accordingly. TITSA buses and rental cars are the main ways to get around, and a tram connects Santa Cruz with La Laguna.

Tenerife in practice

The south, with Playa de las Américas, Los Cristianos and Costa Adeje, is the main holiday area. Puerto de la Cruz is the classic resort in the north, Santa Cruz is the capital, and Teide National Park lies in the centre of the island.

Club etiquette: how not to be that tourist

• Bring your passport or ID card. Clubs check age and identity.
• Consume only inside the club. Never on the street, on the beach or on a terrace.
• Do not take cannabis out of the club, and never take it onto a flight.
• Keep it quiet around the entrance. Clubs depend on good relations with their neighbours.
• Follow the house rules on phones, photos and behaviour. If you are unsure, ask the staff.
• Do not buy from street sellers. It is illegal, and you cannot know what you get.
