The Best Countries to Visit If You Love Smoking Weed

Cannabis culture is growing all over the world. Every year, more and more countries are decriminalizing marijuana or legalizing marijuana, and as a result, weed-friendly tourism is on the rise. If you're a fan of smoking weed and you're looking for the best places to travel where you can enjoy your hobby without judgment or hassle, then look no further! Here are the best countries to visit if you love smoking weed.

Spain

Spain is one of the most weed-friendly countries in Europe, and its relaxed attitude towards cannabis extends to tourists as well. While it's technically still illegal to smoke weed in public, Spanish police tend to turn a blind eye to tourists indulging in a little bit of pot smoking, especially if you're not causing any trouble. In addition, there are numerous private clubs in Spain where members can enjoy smoking weed in peace. Barcelona for example is not just a great city, it is also particularly known for its large number of private cannabis clubs which are a bit different compared to the so-called "Coffee Shops" one might know from Amsterdam.

If you wish to visit Spain and experience one of its many weed-friendly private clubs, it's important to do your research in advance. Some clubs require membership while others are open to cannabis tourism. If you want to visit Spain yourself, read this article which will explain to you how to proceed and how to gain access to the Cannabis Social Clubs.

Netherlands

Of course, the Netherlands is one of the most well-known destinations for cannabis lovers as many consider it the main country for cannabis tourism. Cannabis is technically illegal in the Netherlands, but possession of small amounts (up to 5 grams) has been decriminalized, and you can buy and smoke weed openly in many "coffee shops" throughout the country. Amsterdam is obviously the most popular destination for weed smokers visiting the Netherlands, butRotterdam and Utrecht are also worth checking out.

Uruguay

In 2013, Uruguay became the first country in the world to fully legalize marijuana. So unsurprisingly, it's become quite a popular destination for pot smokers from all over the world. While Uruguay does have some rules and regulations surrounding cannabis use (you must be a Uruguayan citizen or resident to buy weed, for example), it's generally a very chill place to smoke pot. Montevideo is home to most of Uruguay's marijuana dispensaries, so that's where you'll want to head if you're looking to score some high-quality weed and medical marijuana.

Jamaica

Jamaica has long been known as a mecca for stoners, thanks in large part to its Rastafarian community (several members of which have become famous in their own right). Marijuana use is completely decriminalized in Jamaica, so it's easy enough to get your hands on some good ganja while you're visiting. Negril is perhaps the most popular destination for pot smokers visiting Jamaica; it's home to numerous beachside bars and cafes where you can relax with a joint and enjoy Jamaican food and culture at its finest.

Portugal

Portugal decriminalized possession of small amounts of all drugs in 2001 and has since become one of the most weed-friendly countries in Europe. While smoking weed in public is still technically illegal, Portuguese police generally turn a blind eye to tourists indulging in a little pot smoking. Lisbon is the best place to visit if you're looking to score some good weed while you're in Portugal; there are numerous cannabis dispensaries and "coffeeshops" throughout the city and Portugal is really moving fast when it comes to decriminalize marijuana and especially when it comes to legalize recreational marijuana.

Canada

While recreational marijuana use is not yet legal nationwide, it will be soon! Canada is set to fully legalize weed in October 2018, making it one of the best places in the world to smoke pot. In the meantime, many cities and provinces have decriminalized possession of small amounts of marijuana, so it's generally not too hard to find some good weed while you're visiting Canada. Vancouver is a particularly weed-friendly city, and there are numerous dispensaries and "coffee shops" where you can buy and smoke weed openly.

Conclusion

These are just a few of the best countries to visit if you're a fan of smoking weed. So whether you're looking for a place to legally purchase marijuana or simply somewhere where you won't be hassled for indulging in a little bit of pot smoking, one of these destinations is sure to be ideal for your next vacation. Happy travels!
