Hey there, travel buffs and canna-connoisseurs! Are you dreaming of a trip that rolls your love of travel and the plant into one unforgettable adventure? Well, you're in luck! We're about to embark on a globe-trotting journey to explore the top 6 destinations where the "green" culture is as exciting as the local attractions. So, grab your bags and let's hit the road!
Amsterdam, Netherlands
First stop: Amsterdam, a city virtually synonymous with the plant. While it’s well known for its historic canals and Van Gogh museum, it’s the city’s “coffeeshops” that draw enthusiasts from across the globe. Despite the name, these establishments are famous for something other than caffeine; and you can probably guess what it is! Sit back, spark up, and soak in the laid-back atmosphere. Don’t forget to visit the Cannabis College and Hash Marihuana & Hemp Museum to educate yourself while you're there!
Denver, Colorado
Known as the "Mile-High City," Denver’s elevation isn’t the only thing that’s sky-high. As one of the first U.S. states to legalize, Colorado has become a hotspot for green tourism. In Denver, you can tour dispensaries, cultivation facilities, even take cooking classes with the plant! Add in the city's vibrant food scene and stunning mountain views, and Denver is a high-ranking destination on our list.
Barcelona, Spain
Say hola to our next destination: Barcelona. This cosmopolitan city, renowned for its art, architecture, and tapas, has a growing reputation as a green-friendly locale. The city’s private consumption clubs operate in a legal grey area, but they offer a broad range of high-quality strains in a safe and secure atmosphere. After a visit, unwind at one of the city’s beautiful beaches or take a leisurely stroll through the enchanting Gothic Quarter.
Montevideo, Uruguay
Next up, we're heading somewhere you likely wouldn't expect, and that's south to Uruguay, the first country ever to fully legalize! The capital city, Montevideo, is home to numerous dispensaries where locals and tourists can legally purchase the herb. While there, don't miss exploring the charming old town, Ciudad Vieja, and make sure to catch a sunset along the Rambla, a picturesque waterfront promenade.
Kingston, Jamaica
Can you hear the reggae beats? Jamaica is next up on the list! "Ganja” is deeply rooted in the local Rastafarian culture. Although it isn't fully legalized, it's decriminalized for small amounts, and medical use is legal. Tour a cultivation plantation, immerse yourself in the rich music culture, then relax on one of the island's stunning beaches. Jamaica offers a high-spirited adventure you won't forget!
Vancouver, Canada
Our final destination takes us to Vancouver, Canada, a city that marries urban sophistication with breathtaking outdoor beauty. Canada was the second country to legalize cannabis nationwide, and Vancouver's dispensaries offer a wide variety of strains, edibles, and concentrates. When you're done exploring the cannabis scene, visit the city's world-class restaurants, or escape to nearby hiking trails and ski slopes.
