Some people travel for adventure and others for relaxation. Some travel for wine and beer or to try fine cuisine. And some people travel for weed.
Traveling for Weed: Cannabis Tourism
If you’re a cannabis lover, you know the importance of traveling to places where your favorite plant is allowed to shine. Your bucket list is filled with legalized destinations, like Colorado, Washington, California – even Amsterdam.
But just because recreational marijuana is legal in a given location doesn’t mean that you’re allowed to smoke it in public. In many cases, private residences are the only place you’re legally allowed to smoke, so travelers staying at hotels are out of luck. But there’s an app (or website) for everything these days, including finding specific cannabis friendly lodging. Whether you travel to try cannabis products in places or to have access to your medicine on the road, staying in 420 friendly housing makes your vacation better.
What Makes Lodging Marijuana-Friendly?
Staying at a 420-friendly Airbnb, hotel, or other lodging means that you can enjoy the best of what an area has to offer, from the scenery and the nightlight to the selection of flower, edibles, concentrates, and drinks. You can light up or indulge as you would at home, without any fear of getting the cops called or getting a hefty surcharge added onto your total.
If a hotel, inn, resort, or room for rent is weed-friendly, they will usually make it obvious in the description or the details of the property. Any reference to 420 means cannabis and cannabis products. Some properties will allow you to smoke inside and outside, while others ask that you use non-inhalation methods like edibles and drinks inside, and keep vapes, pre-rolls, and other kinds of smoke outside.
