Cannabis tourism, also called marijuana tourism, is travel/tourism related to cannabis or incorporating cannabis use.
Tours, activity packages, concierge services and more are available for cannabis tourists, who may travel from jurisdictions where it is expensive, unavailable or illegal – or who may simply wish to use cannabis while on holiday. Some conventional tourist businesses (lodging, entertainment, etc.) advertise as "420-friendly", meaning they will not stop or discourage guests from possessing or consuming cannabis.[1]
Cannabis tourism occurs in jurisdictions with modern tourism infrastructure and established tourist attractions, like resorts or nature parks. However, some isolated, impoverished agricultural communities, known for large-scale illegal marijuana production, also attract cannabis tourists, with significant economic impact.
Cannabis tourism is distinct from cannabis smuggling, the import/export of cannabis by definition in violation of the law.
