Cannabis gained a lot of popularity over the years for its medicinal and psychological benefits. Many find it to be a relaxing personal experience and an excellent group activity.

But, what if you want to travel? There are a lot of laws regarding bringing cannabis on an airline, so you’ll need to purchase weed once you arrive at your destination if you want to take your vacation to a higher level.

Use this guide to help you make the best choice for your next cannatourism vacation.

What to Look For in Cannatourism Destinations

When choosing your vacation spot for having some fun experiences with cannabis, there are some things to take into consideration. You will want to find a place that will heighten the experience.

You should think about the effects cannabis is likely to have on your experiences. Maybe some experiences you enjoy while sober won’t be so much fun. Or, maybe you will want to find a way to enhance the pleasure.

The best way to make your decision is to consider the effects of cannabis on your mind and body. Some of these effects can include both positive and negative experiences.

Some effects include increased pleasure, heightened sensitivity, and the sensation of feeling “high.” Enhancing these sensations with the proper mood and environment can improve this experience.

Therefore, when choosing your vacation spot, keep these side effects in mind. Oh, and don’t forget! Find a place with good food. Don’t forget about the munchies!

Montevideo, Uruguay

Uruguay is famous for its weed-friendly lifestyle. Uruguay legalized weed all the way back in 1974. Since then, it has become a great space for cannabis enthusiasts, especially in the capital city of Montevideo.

One thing to take into consideration is the legality of selling marijuana. Foreigners may not bring cannabis into the country, nor may they purchase it.

However, Uruguayans may grow their own, use it recreationally, and give it to people. This is how most tourists get their hands on it.

Due to this law, Montevideo does not have any dispensaries or places to purchase weed as a foreigner. But, it has a rich culture and environment tailored to this experience.

Places such as Kaya’s cannabis retail experience are great places to stop and recharge. Be sure to stop by their rich cafe and restaurant.

This retail section was specially designed for people who wish to relax with cannabis. This is how Uruguay has designed their cannatourism, since they don’t directly sell it to you.

Barcelona, Spain

Barcelona hosts some of the loveliest cannabis coffee shops and clubs in Europe. The environment by and large is relaxed and tailored to enhance the artistic value given by cannabis.

The Magic Fountain near Montjuic Hall displays an array of water jets. The lights then highlight these jets of water, creating a beautiful and inspiring experience against the night sky.

After sightseeing, stop by the Barcelona coffee shop. This club has a mixture of the club and coffee shop experience all in one. This is great if some of your friends want to party, but you feel more like unwinding.

For a more exotic experience, the G13 Club Cannabis has high ratings from users. The environment is darker and more sedated. For those seeking to have a more personal experience with cannabis, this place is great.

Las Vegas, Nevada

You have to guess that the city that has the nickname “Sin City” would definitely have liberal cannabis laws. Las Vegas has some of the most lenient cannabis laws in the United States.

In Las Vegas, you can legally possess up to an ounce of marijuana for yourself. But you cannot use this in public (similar to public drinking laws,) so you need to know where to go to get high.

The Apothecary Shoppe, located on Flamingo Road, is a beautiful destination. They have everything from ointments to edibles handcrafted by their in-house baker. This is definitely a good place for anyone seeking a calm, munchie experience.

For those seeking to discover more about the medical benefits of marijuana, Exhale Nevada is an excellent choice. Tourists will be immersed in an educational and enlightening experience with their knowledgeable staff.

Exhale will also tailor its services to your needs. If you find yourself with joint pain or stress, tell the assistants and they can help narrow down the best choices for you.

Last, check out the local cannabis museum, the Cannabition Cannabis museum. Here you will discover the history of marijuana and hemp and how it is grown.

They emphasize the environmental benefits of marijuana and the medical benefits of the plant’s use. They also boast some of the most exotic cannabis art and designs.

On your way out, check out the CBD store. You can host a party there with your friends.

All in all, Las Vegas is the city to be in the USA for cannabis use.
