Cannabis tourism is sprouting up around the world as a novel way to enjoy a few of life’s treasured gifts: travel and weed. From cannabis spas, cannabis clubs, to treehouse beds and breakfast joints in the wilderness, planning a memorable marijuana vacation is for the modern-day stoner.
The great thing about cannabis tourism is that it’s an alternative for cannabis consumers looking for a safe, and creative escape from the run-of-the-mill vacation package. That is to say, marijuana holidays are packed with original and clever weed-themed experiences that will sure to delight the senses of any cannabis consumer looking for a distraction from the norm. So pack your bags, here are five great cannabis tourism ideas to embark on in 2021.
1. British Columbia, Canada is Home to CannaTourism
When Canada legalized the use of recreational cannabis in 2018, marijuana producers, and savvy entrepreneurs took note. Many jumped on board to create cannabis tourism that targeted the growing demographic of cannabis consumers living in Canada. And while cannabis tourism has started to flourish in all provinces of Canada, one particular province stands out from the rest as being the best place to crash, relax and blaze on a weed-inspired holiday.
British Columbia happens to have some of the least strict recreational cannabis laws. Moreover, the region is known for its lush landscape, great outdoors, and people who are looking to explore the roots of the Canadian cannabis community. And while many British Colombian cannabis-related tours have paused operations due to the pandemic, it’s worth staying abreast of when the tours will start back up and be first on their list. We love Wicked Weed Tours which offers an inside look into cannabis production facilities and the cannabis production and cultivation process. These tours offer a five-star personalized visit to the best local dispensaries in Kelowna.

2. Weed Tours in Las Vegas, Nevada
Visiting Las Vegas after the pandemic can seem a bit eerie these days. Large crowds no longer fill the lobbies of prominent hotels, and the Las Vegas strip, a popular landmark, is abandoned and empty. But as the local economy prepares to bring in the crowds again, meanwhile there is another way travelers can enjoy Sin City.
Las Vegas Cannabis tours offer a behind-the-scenes look at Sin City’s legal cannabis industry. From cannabis museums, grow houses, and an inside look at some of the best dispensaries in town, the tour will leave you with a deeper understanding of an expanding new industry in Las Vegas. Plus, we all know the saying “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas”. And what better way for a cannabis enthusiast to celebrate this saying by trying some of the best weed in Vegas. Oh, and did we mention you get picked up at your hotel in a cannabis limo?
3. Barcelona, Spain Has Underground Weed Scene
Planning a marijuana holiday to Barcelona, Spain can be a great way to indulge in iconic international city sights while enjoying some of the best cannabis the city has to offer. And while cannabis is decriminalized in Spain, it is not yet fully legal. With that said, joining a “social club” is a unique and somewhat underground way to savour cannabis in the heart of this historic city. These social clubs first opened in Barcelona about ten years ago.
They often require a membership that’s easy to apply for and give smokers a safe place to consume cannabis. Barcelona Weed Tours gives you access to Barcelona’s finest clubs. Just send them a message to join a speakeasy-esque movement in Barcelona that will allow you to smoke some of the finest cannabis while enjoying the medieval architecture and rich history of this magnificent city.
4. Jamaica Offers Interesting Options for Cannabis Tourism
Jamaican me crazy’ for weed and endless stretches of white-sand beaches and crystal clear water. That’s what you have to look forward to if you book a cannabis tour in Jamaica. After all, the heart of the marijuana movement started its journey in Jamaica. So it makes sense why this country would offer some of the best cannabis-themed tours in all of the world.
We love Outlier Tours which offers a few different options to explore the beauty and pristine of the island while smoking some of the country’s finest bud. Saying that, one of the most down-to-earth tours called the Beach & Buds involves an escort, a “goodie bag” packed with prerolls, and a half-day or full-day spent at the beach. Nothing more, nothing less. Just good old-fashioned fun with dope bud and some glorious Jamaican sand between your toes.
5. Cannabis Tourism Originatetd in The Netherlands
It would be impossible to leave out The Netherlands on our list as it is a favourite for travel buffs and cannabis connoisseurs. Yet most people don’t know that cannabis is illegal in The Netherlands but has been decriminalized and is largely “tolerated” when used for recreational purposes in small amounts. This includes the use of recreational cannabis in small coffee shops, using weed in edibles, and offering delicious space cakes to customers.
So if you are planning on visiting The Netherlands you may want to scout out an awesome marijuana tour of Amsterdam’s legendary coffee shops. This way you can learn about the pulse of Amsterdam’s culture, nosh its culinary delights, and enjoy a bit of cannabis in a fun and relaxing way.
Cannabis Tourism: A Budding Industry
Cannabis tourism is a chance for marijuana businesses around the globe to create a new sector of tourism that will appeal to a growing demographic of recreational pot-users. While laws around the use of recreational cannabis have a lot of room to expand internationally, the hope is that legislators will realize the mass potential of a budding new tourism industry. Because at the end of the day, travellers are always looking for innovative ways to relax and have a holiday. And what better way to enjoy the “high” life than with some good bud and sightseeing?
