After a stressful 2020, we could all use some relaxation. Instead of booking your usual visit to the beach or the mountains, why not consider a vacation that might be even more relaxing? No, not a wine tour or a simple spa retreat. That’s right — we’re talking cannabis vacations.
Cannabis use has slowly gone up over the years, but a recent study conducted by the National Library of Medicine concluded that those who felt self-isolated during the COVID-19 pandemic “were found to use 20% more cannabis during the pandemic than those who did not.”
Many people needed a mental escape or “vacation” from the stress, but now that the world has started to find some sort of normalcy again, that escape can be mental and physical. Cannabis travel destinations had started to catch on before 2020, but during a time when many discovered or re-discovered their passion for cannabis, the trend is in very high demand.
If you didn’t think cannabis vacations existed, you’re in for a real treat. Now that marijuana is starting to become legal in more states, these vacations are also becoming much more accessible to the public.
What Is a Cannabis Vacation?
A cannabis vacation or a cannabis-friendly destination is a type of travel planned around cannabis-related activities. Whether that’s visiting a growing facility, hopping to different dispensaries and cafes, or choosing special lodging that permits the use of cannabis, cannabis tourism is going off without a hitch as things start to open back up and recreational cannabis becomes legal.
If you’re itching to get out and about and you enjoy an occasional session, here are 6 premium destinations to put in your cannabis travel guide.
