Consommation Responsable de Cannabis & Réduction des Risques

Q: Can I overdose on cannabis?

You cannot fatally overdose on cannabis. However, consuming too much can cause very uncomfortable symptoms: extreme anxiety, paranoia, rapid heartbeat, nausea, and vomiting. These effects are temporary but unpleasant. This is why starting with low doses is crucial.

Q: How long do cannabis effects last?

Smoking/vaping: Effects begin within minutes and peak at 30 minutes, lasting 2-4 hours. Edibles: Effects begin 30-120 minutes after consumption and can last 6-8 hours or longer. Plan accordingly and don't redose too quickly.

Q: Is it safe to mix cannabis with alcohol?

Mixing cannabis and alcohol intensifies the effects of both and significantly increases the risk of nausea, dizziness, and impaired judgment. If you choose to mix, consume both in much smaller quantities than you would alone.

Q: Can I travel with cannabis in Spain?

No. Transporting cannabis in public is illegal, even between your accommodation and a cannabis club. Never carry cannabis on public transportation, in vehicles, or through public spaces. Consume only at the club or in your private accommodation.

Q: What if I feel too high?

Find a quiet, comfortable place to sit or lie down. Drink water and eat something if possible. Take slow, deep breaths. Remind yourself that the feeling is temporary and will pass. If at a club, notify staff—they're experienced and can help you feel more comfortable.

Responsible Consumption Guidelines

Cannabis affects everyone differently. Following these guidelines helps ensure a safe, positive experience:

•
Start low and go slow - especially if you're new to cannabis or trying a new product. You can always consume more, but you can't undo overconsumption.
•
Never drive or operate machinery after consuming cannabis. Use public transportation, walk, or arrange a ride.
•
Consume only in private spaces (your accommodation or inside the club). Public consumption is illegal and will result in fines.
•
Stay hydrated, eat before consuming, and take breaks between sessions. Give your body time to process the effects.

Considérations de Santé

Being informed about potential health effects helps you make safer choices:

Respiratory Health

Smoking cannabis can irritate lungs and throat. Consider vaporizers as a less harsh alternative. If you have asthma or respiratory conditions, consult a doctor first.

Santé Mentale

Le cannabis peut déclencher de l'anxiété ou de la paranoïa chez certaines personnes, en particulier à des doses élevées. Si vous avez des antécédents de problèmes de santé mentale, consultez un professionnel de la santé avant de consommer du cannabis.

Cardiovascular Effects

Cannabis temporarily increases heart rate and blood pressure. If you have heart conditions, high blood pressure, or take cardiovascular medication, consult your doctor.

Drug Interactions

Cannabis can interact with certain medications (blood thinners, antidepressants, sedatives). Consult your doctor if you take regular medication.

First-Time Visitor Advice

If this is your first time visiting a cannabis club, follow these tips:

•
Ask the staff for recommendations - they can guide you to products appropriate for your experience level and desired effects.
•
Start with lower-potency products. Modern cannabis can be very strong. Begin with products containing 10-15% THC or less.
•
Wait at least 2 hours after consuming edibles before taking more. Edible effects take longer to appear but last much longer than smoking.
•
Stay at the club for at least 30 minutes after consuming to ensure you feel okay before leaving. Staff can help if you feel uncomfortable.

Emergency Information

While serious cannabis-related emergencies are rare, it's important to know what to do:

Emergency Contact Numbers in Spain

112 - General emergencies (police, fire, ambulance)
061 - Medical emergencies and ambulance

If someone is experiencing a bad reaction (severe anxiety, panic, rapid heartbeat), stay calm, reassure them, move them to a quiet space, and keep them hydrated. Symptoms typically pass within 1-3 hours. Seek medical help if symptoms worsen or don't improve.
