About Relaxed Society Madrid
Relaxed Society Madrid takes its name and its philosophy from its location: the Retiro neighbourhood, adjacent to one of Europe's great urban parks. El Retiro, 350 acres of formal gardens, lakes, performance spaces, and shaded walkways, has always functioned as Madrid's primary space for decompression, and the club has consciously aligned itself with this restorative function.
Founded in 2016 by members with backgrounds in wellness, psychology, and harm reduction, Relaxed Society positions cannabis not merely as a recreational substance but as a component of a broader wellness practice. This framing influences everything from the physical design of the club space, calm, well-lit, with natural materials and plants, to the event programme including yoga sessions, meditation evenings, and talks on the therapeutic uses of cannabinoids.
The Retiro neighbourhood's demographic, upper-middle-class professionals, diplomatic families, and the creative establishment, provides a membership base that is receptive to the wellness framing. Many members arrive with specific preferences around CBD:THC ratios and terpene profiles. The club staff are trained to engage with these interests thoughtfully.
Monthly contributions are at the mid-range for Madrid, reflecting the location premium and the investment in wellness-oriented programming.
How to Become a Member
Cannabis social clubs in Spain operate as private, non-commercial associations. To join Relaxed Society Madrid, you must:
- Get a referral from an existing member who can vouch for you personally.
- Complete the application process, including providing proof of adult status (18+) and Spanish residency or minimum stay documentation.
- Attend an orientation session covering Spanish cannabis law, the club rules, and responsible consumption guidelines.
- Pay the membership contribution (EUR 20-30/month), which funds collective cultivation and club operations.
This process is legally essential, not optional bureaucracy. Without genuine private membership, the collective consumption framework that permits these clubs to function would not apply.
Understanding Cannabis Social Clubs in Spain
Spain does not have legalised recreational cannabis. What exists instead is a legal grey zone rooted in the Spanish constitution's protection of private activity and personal autonomy. Cannabis social clubs frame collective cultivation and consumption as a private, associative activity rather than a commercial transaction. There are no sales, only shared access to collectively produced cannabis funded by member contributions.
Do not expect to simply arrive at a club and gain access. Genuine clubs are private by necessity, not by preference, and clubs that operate as quasi-public spaces risk prosecution.
