Is it legal to bring medical cannabis into a country in Spain?
This rebuilt rule page keeps the answer, scope, and future source links in one obvious place, without pretending the row is fully researched before official sources are attached.
Quick answer
Legal position
Current starter summary
Medical cannabis can only be brought into Spain if it fits the official medicines rules for travellers and any required permit for narcotic or psychotropic medicines has been obtained.
Conditions

Travellers entering Spain with narcotic or psychotropic medicines must request the corresponding permit from AEMPS, and the amount is generally limited to treatment for up to three months.
Exceptions
Known carve-outs or edge cases
Ordinary medicines for personal treatment are treated differently from narcotic or psychotropic medicines, which face extra permit requirements.
Penalties

Compare this activity in other countries
This makes the rule page useful for comparison without creating a second data source.
Albania
Albania Customs states that the import, export or transit of narcotics, narcotic medicaments and psychotropic substances is prohibited. That makes bringing medical cannabis into Albania unsafe to treat as lawful on a general traveler basis.
Argentina
Argentina allows patients to request ANMAT authorization to import a cannabinoid or cannabis-derived product needed for treatment when it is not marketed in Argentina. Official guidance says the import route is tied to medical indication and the exception-access regime.
Austria
Austria allows travellers to enter with certain medicines for personal use, including controlled medicines, but the official health guidance imposes document and quantity limits.
Azerbaijan
Azerbaijan Customs says narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances, their precursors and tools intended for their use are prohibited from being brought into the country.

Why the page is intentionally light
The new site should show a stable layout, a stable route, and clear source slots before the dataset is scaled up again. That keeps management simple and makes later official-source population safer.
