Spain: A cannabis club in Dos Hermanas, in southern Spain, has been closed down after police discovered a cannabis production and distribution point on its premises, press reports. Cannabis clubs remain in a grey area in Spanish law, as group consumption of cannabis is decriminalised but not regulated. The legality of cannabis clubs is usually considered by courts on a case-by-case basis, but sales to third parties or non-members remain prohibited.

Spain: A surprising result in Sunday’s general election, defying the prediction by most polls of a right-wing victory, means the present government could stay in power for the next four years, raising hopes for the long-awaited legalisation of medical cannabis. Both the Socialist Party and its potential coalition parter, the left-wing Sumar, included the regulation of medical cannabis in their election manifestoes.

Spain: The incumbent Socialist Party (PSOE) has included medical cannabis in its manifesto for the 23rd July general election, saying it plans to develop a scheme that allows patients access to regulated cannabis. The left-wing party Sumar, a potential coalition partner of the PSOE, has also said it aims to regulate cannabis, both medical and recreational, legalising consumption and non-profit self-production. Other parties expected to gain a significant number of seats in the election, including the right-wing People’s Party (PP) and VOX, make no mention of cannabis in their own programmes.
