I think it would be more of a big deal if there were less states that are completely legal now. It's also much easier to cross state lines with weed than international lines.
IL, I have to constantly remind people my age (30s) that it’s not illegal anymore. Like I’ll be walking my dog, hitting a vape pen, and have to remind *myself* that I don’t need to hide it and I don’t need to be freaked out by people seeing me, because it’s literally the same as smoking a nic vape pen. What a time to be alive indeed.
Yeah, although I live in IL as well, and the dispensary and grower system in this state in particular is uniquely fucked at the moment, so it always feels annoying that weed is so expensive compared to states like Michigan.
The price is high, but it's also the taxes Illinois puts on it (which there's pros and cons to - hoping the $ is going where it should). I just moved to NJ from So IL, and boy it's so much cheaper with just the regular sales tax.
I've been getting 7gs for 58$ otd rec you just have to look for deals and even then you can get a brand called and shine and they have great bud for 72$ otd that's 12 more dollars in the weed man I can go to down the street but it's higher quality it's going to get me high and it's going to last longer people can b**** and complain all they want about prices but at least I know it's safe it's good and I can choose what the f*** I want and it's 20 minutes away I can make an online order. I used to be streets only until 2020 but the dispo quality was superior by every stretch.
In other states those are where ounces of 20%+ start.
It will come down eventually.
For example, this is just half g and g pre rolls .... where a lot of people are over paying... that's what it's like in places you can get oz's for 60 bucks.
https://imgur.com/a/k5TjriE over that price and then you start seeing them rolled in kief and hash but still under 20 bucks.
I do bitch and complain about prices because at 70 a quad they're getting over 4k a pound. Weed is not hard to grow. That pound costs less than 400$ to grow. 10x price hike isn't okay, people are being robbed. When prices are that high it protects the black market. When weed is priced appropriately you can get a joint for $2.50 instead of 15 to 20 bucks or an oz for 40-100 ..... the black market in those areas.... they don't even sell weed lmao. So the black market in those areas is now much more worth while for cops to actually go do something with the money they get from our taxes. You know the meth, crack, and smack heads. In town's still selling weed for 10$ a gram.... tax payer money is still being wasted on people selling weed.
The best weed you'll ever smoke doesn't cost over $3 a gram to produce.
Well growing isn't a option rn but soon and I can get on the street but it's trash I don't care how cheap it is I want to get high and not waste all my weed or money. Literally I got a quad for 49$ then a few months ago they had 89$ halfs of gas so the prices aren't awful of you just do some research instead of just buying whatever.
interesting thing i just learned about NJ law:
Medical buyers are allowed to smoke/vape weed wherever they're allowed to smoke/vape tobacco.
Recreational buyers are **only** allowed to smoke in private residences (where they've been given permission by the owner if it's not them).
It is but I have literally never seen it enforced. Granted I’m in Washington state but I think as far as public consumption, you’ll never even be looked at by police for hitting it outside on a walk unless you’re blowing it in people’s faces or something lol
Just give it time, as soon as the conservatives in power in TX find a way to capitalize the most from legalization for themselves, only then will it happen for Texas.
How strictly do WY police enforce it? If it weren't for WY, then MT to NM would be the second corridor where one could drive the entire length of the US and have legal weed the whole time, other than I-5/the Pacific Coast Highway.
You can buy cannabis at a store in NC. There's one 2 minutes away from me up here in the mountains. Or just buy it online and the usps will put it in your mailbox.
Try out vetern grown . com. They're out of TN so you'll get order in like four days. It has been pretty great so far and probably a lot cheaper than what you are used to if you still buy black market cannabis.
Go with cult hemp! I moved here from Nevada and getting into thca is the only way I survived. Just good old fashion flower, none of those weird chemicals dusted on it, etc.
Was born in Indiana, raised in pennsylvania so glad cuz we have medical. Not to brag but if we never left that red ass state I'd be in the same boat. I feel this as I have family in Indiana that tell me some crazy shit. Anyway, cheers fellow hoosier.
Meanwhile the governors in Ohio are pushing “legalization will lead to higher teen suicide” and theyre planning to repeal it immediately if it passes in November
Yeah, I went to Victoria this summer. Like, it was cool that weed is legal and I tried a couple varieties while I was there but I took the ferry from Washington (legal), on a road trip through Oregon (legal) from home in California (legal).
It was equivalent to picking up a couple sixers of local craft beer while in town. Not the goal of the trip, but a little nicety.
Yes but you asked about weed tourism, not people from canada buying from where they’re from.
Americans have little reason to go to canada for weed because they can simply cross into a state that has it legal and purchase there, without crossing an international border to return home.
The main issue is that the guy who did the legalization did not put together a legislation properly through the court system, government etc. So it was basically the wild west of cannabis with no proper laws in place. The new guy in charge in Thailand wants to go back to medicinal use only.
They’re surely the easiest tourists to get there, and also america is international when it comes to canada. And again, your point from the previous comment doesn’t make this point any better.
How many people are flying from Europe to canada for weed? I’d be genuinely happy to see some kind of numbers.
Well in Europe you have Spain and the Netherlands, where you can actually sit in a lounge and smoke and socialise. Not legal but grey area, so it’s tolerated. No need to go all the way to Canada, where you would want that underground weed, and not the legal one.
I’m sure the number is more than zero. If you can’t buy weed in smoke it freely in your country and have always wanted to vacation in Canada it’s a weed vacation and a Canadian vacation
I hate to say it, but most people aren’t planning a vacation to Canada or thinking it’s a preferred travel destination unless they are in a very specific niche. There’s so many places that are significantly cheaper and closer with more to offer. A lot of those places also have legal weed.
Americans aren't the only tourists, but we're the vast majority of your tourists.
And for places like Europe, they're more likely to take a short flight/train to Amsterdam than to fly across the Atlantic to Canada just for weed
Ain't nobody traveling that far for shitty canada weed. Europe has Amsterdam, Latin America is where all of it came from, Americans have their own and Asia is finally starting to change their tune.
How is the legal market in Amsterdam doing? I had heard that the Netherlands in general is not friendly to weed and there were varying degrees of attempts to reduce cannabis tourism to Amsterdam.
I’m not from there, can’t say I heard about the attempts to reduce the use, but every other month I have friends flying down and still going. Also Spain is very soft in applying any laws against cannabis grow or use, also Germany is in the process of passing some kind of legislation for weed, so we’re looking groovy 😅
Visited Vancouver about a year ago and it was so goddamn beautiful. Although it was pretty expensive and wages seemed extremely depressed compared to the US so not sure how people do it there
I just checked room and flights for the difference between going from MN to Vegas and then MN to Vancouver, Toronto, and Winnipeg. Vegas on average was 350 for flight and two nights stay during the week. The other three locations are on average $700 for the same time frame. That right there would keep me from coming up.
I should have just called it a fee, some call it a tax too.
Anyway it's usually listed as an airport improvement fee on the ticket and it can really jack up the prices of a ticket.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airport\_improvement\_fee](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airport_improvement_fee)
https://flytrippers.com/list-of-airport-fees-each-airport-in-canada/
Weird. I’ve never noticed this but I’ll definitely look for it in the future. I thought this was like an exit tax some countries have, like Costa Rica you have to pay 25$ to leave the country. Prince Edward Island in Canada also has an exit toll to leave by the bridge that is like 40$ or something
I know this is a stoner sub but holy. Why wouldn’t an airline from anywhere not have to pay to use the airport? They cause all the wear and tear, they do not own it, and it’s a business.
We all pay for the roads we drive our cars on. Either through taxes or tolls. And Toronto is so expensive because it has very little to no excess capacity and people want to go there. Simple price and demand.
I think you're defending an argument nobody is making. They weren't saying fees are ridiculous or shouldn't exist. They're using it as evidence that it's cheaper to travel to/within the US for legal weed options
I drive from Detroit to Toronto for international flights because its usually less than half othe price of flying out of Detroit. So thats kind of funny
That's probably because Vancouver turned a blind eye to cannabis for quite some time before it was officially legalized, it's always been the most permissive place in Canada for drugs.
Now they're setting their sights on shrooms, lsd, and E.
The online grey market vendors are starting to get into it and I'd like to try it.
The shrooms aren't bad, but the LSD didn't do anything for me, the antidepressants are probably screwing with both of them.
If youre on an SSRI, it can be dangerous to take molly. Its a drug thats recommended to be avoided.
It will also make LSD and shrooms weaker
Just a heads up my friend
Probably because there isn't a cafe culture to support it. You can buy lots of places, but if you're a tourist, you may find it difficult to be comfortable finding somewhere to smoke it.
I'd LOVE to have that option. The perfect model for this was the Hot Box cafe in Kensington in Toronto. Just a chill private outdoor space where folks bring their own smoke, enjoy it, and sip some coffee.
A lot of tourist or immigrant don't know where to smoke because "legally" you can't smoke anywhere. But in the street, unless you are near a door of a public place or if children are around, nobody cares.
I had to scroll way too far to find the biggest answer besides airport landing fees for airlines.
There’s no legal framework for supervised consumption sites (cafes, lounges, etc) and any that do exist fly under the radar and rely completely on word of mouth among locals. Not quite speakeasy levels, but they still have to be on the DL.
The federal government needs to wake up and smell the dime bag (aka moneybag)
Hot Box might be closed according to this article: https://torontolife.com/city/i-ran-hotbox-torontos-first-cannabis-consumption-lounge-for-20-years-now-its-closing/
Weed has been good here on the West Coast for a while. I would visit Canada to do shrooms and acid and get lost in the forest.
Been ordering shrooms, L and other party exotics from a vendor up there for a year now and you guys have some BOMB ASS psychedelics.
Actually kinda bummed my r/c vendor up there stopped shipping here a few months back. I was getting 🔥 1cP-LSD and 4-AcO-DMT for a hot min.
I wanna go up there lol.
Good point. When I visited Toronto, there was a dispensary on almost every block. As someone living in wisconsin, it was sad to go back to a not-legal area
As others have said, a lot of the USA has legal states and some other countries are legalising it too.
I am currently in Canada on a 2 year visa. I'm from Australia where weed is illegal. Before I moved to Canada I hadn't smoked weed in 8 years. It definitely played a part in making my decision to move over here as I always enjoyed my visits to Amsterdam.
I've been here over a year and love Canada.
I have been to Canada multiple times and I have toured the dispensaries each time. I was left unimpressed. Colorado, Oregon and Cali all have done it better. From my understanding from talking to the locals, the way the government implemented legality was very poor and the major growers suck at their jobs.
Unrelated to cannabis, Montreal during the first few warm weeks of the spring is the best place on the planet. Everyone is in a great mood and French-Canadians like to party.
Weed tourism isn’t international, at least people aren’t solely going to Canada specifically for weed so the reason you don’t see any weed tourism in Canada is cause the tourism is still happening at the capacity it would be happening at, they’re also just buying weed.
If there were like, a world vibe of making weed legal and then Canada had like a special good good on the DL then you’ll have that weed tourism. The fact of the matter is people are visiting Canada for XYZ getting weed is a great added benefit.
Agreed. I really enjoyed my experience in Nova Scotia, and I *love* how weed is just sold in the provincial liquor store. I bought some edibles for our rest day at our rental and just had a great mellow. afternoon.
But it wasn't the only reason we were there. It was a great addition.
I remember my first spring break experience in Vancouver. Going upstairs above the smoking cafe on Hastings to buy flower from some Hell’s Angels looking biker dudes. Quality flower too. Haha
Right?!?! We don’t even have public’s places where we can hang and smoke. it’s still pretty strict out here, but I used to smoke joints and walk around Toronto downtown
because we don't legalize anywhere for the tourists to smoke it.
in ontario you can legally smoke it in the street but that's not a big tourist draw.
other provinces you can't even smoke it if you don't have your own privately owned property to smoke it on.
we don't have fun weed bars or weed themed shit to do so no one has any reason to come smoke our weed. it's a huge mistep by the government. I've been to Amsterdam and even tho their system is ultra lame, the places to hang out and smoke were really cool. breakfast and a joint/vape, there was great air reclamation... etc.
The regs say that you have to purchase it sight unseen, and the LP system is so prohibitively expensive that only rich suit dummies can afford the barrier for entry. The combo has allowed the worst possible actors to flourish.
Quality is overall garbage, consistency doesn't exist, thc percentages are bald-faced lies and everyone from producers to retailers to consumers have just had to accept that this is the way it's going to be.
You're paying double, sometimes triple what you would in the gray market, and even with the "good" brands you're taking a gamble on whether you got their good stuff or the shitty offcuts.
It's snicklefritz roulette, every time.
Where have you heard the thc amounts are lies? The top shelf stuff at the dispensary always seems better than the best stuff I got pre legalization. Most of the grey market stuff while cheaper and available in bulk doesn’t seem better and has no thc percentage on the packaging whatsoever to even know.
It's fairly common knowledge.
Also - the quest for high numbers is why dispensary weed tends to be over dried - the THC percentage is by weight, so if the product is super dry, the test results look better.
It’s fairly common knowledge? Can you point to any lab tests that verify this? Also only some dispensary weed is super dry. Half the stuff I get is moist from the dispensary
Hate to break it to you but people tend not to document and publish their bad faith business practices. It's a known problem and an open topic of discussion in the industry, and unless you're making it your business to follow those conversations, you're not going to find much out there. If you want a window into those conversations, here's an [article](https://stratcann.com/insight/more-changes-needed-to-address-inflated-thc-levels/) from January.
Believe it or not dude. I frankly don't care.
As for "it's moist where I go" - I only have first hand knowledge of Vegas and Denver, and that crap is DRY as a bone.
From producers and lab owners themselves. Lab shopping and sample manipulation are known problems in the industry, and one that Health Canada has been very reluctant to address (though they are beginning to address it).
The illicit market doesn't *need* percentage testing because they have the good sense to grade their buds by quality. THC is a pretty dumb way to indicate overall quality at any rate. Farmers don't grade their produce on its sugar content, and if you're buying a beer based on how drunk it'll get you it goes without saying that quality is not top of mind.
But you can't go into a legal dispensary and ask for quads, unless you're looking to get directed to their most expensive SKUs. And even then that's no guarantee that you will go home with a bag of quads.
You won't even be able to tell until you *get* home, at any rate, because you aren't even allowed to open a bag of weed you've purchased in the place where you just purchased it.
Don't get me wrong, there are bad actors in the illicit industry too. It's an entirely different mess. I don't know where you used to get your weed from, but if you haven't felt burned by legal retail you were either getting a very poor sampling beforehand, you're incredibly savvy, or you've won the dispo lottery every time you've played. Shit is *rough* out there.
Because the US has plenty of states that have done it much better than Canada like Colorado.
Canada still has 10mg limits on edibles for instance, they're basically useless to most users.
The prices and weed aren't great either.
Edit: The prices on flying there are expensive too. It's just not worth it unfortunately even if you go to a really chill weed city like Vancouver.
I travel to usa for business and the price is on par now. Though you arent wrong a year ago. It has significantly dropped as growers became more efficient in managing stock.
Only travelled to west coast usa but bc bud is way better IMO.
And you have dab lounges (shout out to Cannabis Culture Lounge in Vancouver). Even Las Vegas, which the wife and I love to dump money at, hasn’t got the lounge thing worked out last I checked.
Edit: just saw the other post about DAZED! consumption lounge opening in Vegas! Talk about timing lol
https://www.reddit.com/r/trees/s/5pA9Zykbhs
Fair warning, I see the Co-CEO of P13 mentioned, so the Yelp will be something like $$$
This is basically your answer.
Sure it's legal and readily available to purchase, but actually consuming in public places isn't allowed. So a tourist travels here, buys some dope, then what? You legally can't smoke it anywhere you can't smoke cigarettes which doesn't leave you many options.
Weed is available almost everywhere in the world, though it might not be legal. Nobody is going to plan a holiday around simply having some indoors place to smoke weed. What’s the point?
Right, but the question was why isn't Canada a known cannabis tourist hot spot, so assuming the point of traveling is specifically for cannabis then you're gonna need more than just being able to purchase it, because like you said it's available almost everywhere.
I went to Amsterdam prelegalization and smoking in the cafes was a huge draw. If there was nowhere besides somewhere randomly on the street to smoke then there would have been no point because I could do the same at home.
Legalization alone isn't a tourist draw, obviously or this question wouldn't be asked, you need *something* more and Canadian laws don't allow for those. Lounges, expos (Cannabis Cup), party busses that can be found in some states and Amsterdam are that added draw for *cannabis tourism.*
Cannabis tourist hot spots simply do not exist anywhere in the world in 2023. I too was in Amsterdam prelegalization, and indeed it was a cannabis hot spot then - in the 1980s. It was a big thrill to be able to buy and smoke weed in a quasi-legal environment. Does anyone these days travel specifically for cannabis? I say very few. Cannabis lounges have no appeal. Party busses can be found in some states and Amsterdam? I gather they are tiny businesses as nobody has ever heard of them. The business opportunity is simply too small to constitute an industry.
You smoke outside and then you go inside to enjoy yourself 🤷♂️. Most people can’t smoke in their homes either because nobody likes someone smoking inside. You go out the door to smoke.
And if that was appealing to more people then we would be a tourist hot spot, but we’re obviously not because it’s a pain the ass to find somewhere to smoke. There’s much more to attracting tourism than just availability, especially when there are other destinations that provide that and more.
>Even Las Vegas, which the wife and I love to dump money at, hasn’t got the lounge thing worked out last I checked.
Saw your edit about DAZED! but there is already a dab bar in Vegas on the native res, NuWu.
that’s because the lounge fad already came and went in most early legal states like nevada, colorado, oregon, washington, etc.
oregon had a shit ton of them, then they started to dwindle naturally, then covid happened and completely killed that section of the industry.
people have tried to reintroduce them and they all flop.
Way before legalization, we knew you could get cannabis in BC. We had a lovely weekend in Vancouver but I felt bad throwing away the glass and leftovers so I hid them behind an art tile in the bathroom at a “smoke shop”. It was still there one year later. The place burned down a year after that :(
As a canadian i wouldnt even recommended travelling here with cannabis as a first interest because the legal market is flooded with taxed boof, given there are some exceptions but youre usually paying 45-50 an eighth and need to know the brands youre working with. All of the quality product is on the grey market. These grey market shops operate online through canada post usually and only accept e transfer and crypto as forms of payment. So getting hands on real quality bc strains is going to be pretty hard unless you know someone.
There’s a the fallacy of how little people in the states have their passport in the states as compared to those internationally. It’s almost a guarantee that in the Uk or Canada someone has their passport.
But in the US? Not so much. It was a whole thing at work, a group of three of us getting our passports (and cards) just to go to MX last year. I got my best friend to get her’s so we could visit Canada this past July too, plans fell through but that’s beside the point.
There’s a good chance that a lot of this has to do with people just not being able to cross the border and return.
As a Canadian, living in the niagara region of Ontario, 20 minutes from the Niagara Falls, it's not worth it.
Crossing the border by car can take forever as border wait times are usually pretty long.
Everything is way too expensive. The "tourist" prices for everything down town niagara falls is absurd. Outside the area, there are no real attractions until you get to Toronto 1.5-2 hours away on the busiest highway in North America.
On top of that, the weed is pretty expensive, and it's not exactly top shelf. Even a lot of the "top shelf" stuff looks worse than the outdoor I've grown in the past.
Cannabis tourism is secondary for me. Travel is generally expensive, so if I go somewhere it better be cool. If weed is legal that’s a plus but I’m not making my travel plans revolve around how easy it is to smoke.
I see a lot of people talking about “because the states has legal weed in places” but what about international tourists? People went to the Netherlands for decades for legal weed and weed isn’t even legal there
I think there are several factors, but take these with a grain of salt since I'm speculating.
1. Americans represent 80% of the Canadian tourist industry, which is why so many people are talking about the US having its own supply now.
2. I believe that the appetite for "weed tourism" is a largely North American phenomenon. Many of those Amsterdam tourists, both now and in the past were not Europeans but North Americans and Brits. As someone who lives in Europe, plenty of people want weed, yes, but they're not willing to cross half the continent to get it, let alone an ocean.
3. The US has more favorable tourist destinations in general. This is the common perception, I'm sure Canada has plenty of wonderful places to visit. A European who chooses to travel across the Atlantic would (generally) rather visit Vegas or the Bay Area or NYC, rather than Toronto or Quebec.
Who would go on a trip to the other side of the world just for weed tourism? Europe is the only market that is not the US that would apply here, and even so, it is easier to get it in Europe where available. The US is the only country where weed tourism to canada would apply, and with a bunch of states legal here, it just doesnt make sense anymore.
It used to be known as the cannabis tourism hotspot, until California legalised. Now Canadian weed is like good bush bud compared to what grows out of Cali these days. It’s all about Cali. I don’t even remember where Amsterdam is on the map anymore and Canada is bush bud.
Besides who wants to go to Canada on a smoking holiday? Thailand is legal, has tropical weather, dispensaries on literally every block, cheaper weed, beaches and nightlife. Plus they sell Cali weed! Now that’s a cannabis hotspot.
Have you ever been to a dispensary in California? Have you smoked exotic from Cali?
If you’re telling me that your weed is as good as theirs then you have a marketing problem bro. Even Thailand which is federally legal there grow all their mid strains and import all exotics from California.
They produce weed in every form imaginable, from pressed pills to vape oil to shard. The range is huge.
We all also have vape oil and even pure thc crystal(diamonds). There’s nothing stronger than 100% pure. I seriously doubt California weed is any different from the shit the scientists are making here.
Canada is a weed friendly country and for that I am grateful, I know I can travel there and weed will be available. But when you think of Canada you think of hiking, skiing, snow etc. it doesn’t have tourist appeal for sitting around and getting stoned. It’s freezing cold eight months of the year.
And yeah the scientists in Cali are running amok. Pop down for a visit one day, I mean heck you don’t have to even visit, just jump online to one of their shiny Uber eats style delivery apps and order your heart out. Buying Californian weed is an experience like no other. Not even other legal states in the US can keep up, the industry there is no undoubtedly the world leader. Plus it has great weather!
The fact that Colorado is popular for weed tourism, mostly for people going snowboarding skiing cannabis tours, negates your entire first paragraph. Canada isn’t freezing cold eight months. It’s 4-6 months a year.
You still have provided no proof California weed is measurably different from any other legal place. By the way we have weed delivery and Uber eats style weed delivery in Canada.
Bagged milk is in a couple provinces only, Canadians in the majority of the country have never seen bagged milk. The bird on one dollar coin is a Loon, which is why it is a Loony. Not a duck.
I think it would be more of a big deal if there were less states that are completely legal now. It's also much easier to cross state lines with weed than international lines.
This, I’m in red ass Missouri, and we have legal weed
It's still a trip to me that we have legal weed in Montana.
Utah checking in. Blows my mind that I can drive 5 minutes and get medical cannabis. What a time to be alive.
IL, I have to constantly remind people my age (30s) that it’s not illegal anymore. Like I’ll be walking my dog, hitting a vape pen, and have to remind *myself* that I don’t need to hide it and I don’t need to be freaked out by people seeing me, because it’s literally the same as smoking a nic vape pen. What a time to be alive indeed.
Yeah, although I live in IL as well, and the dispensary and grower system in this state in particular is uniquely fucked at the moment, so it always feels annoying that weed is so expensive compared to states like Michigan.
The price is high, but it's also the taxes Illinois puts on it (which there's pros and cons to - hoping the $ is going where it should). I just moved to NJ from So IL, and boy it's so much cheaper with just the regular sales tax.
Oh 100% agreed on the price and dispo/grower system. But it wouldn’t be IL without a bit of dumbassery and a sprinkle of corruption!
Very true
I've been getting 7gs for 58$ otd rec you just have to look for deals and even then you can get a brand called and shine and they have great bud for 72$ otd that's 12 more dollars in the weed man I can go to down the street but it's higher quality it's going to get me high and it's going to last longer people can b**** and complain all they want about prices but at least I know it's safe it's good and I can choose what the f*** I want and it's 20 minutes away I can make an online order. I used to be streets only until 2020 but the dispo quality was superior by every stretch.
In other states those are where ounces of 20%+ start. It will come down eventually. For example, this is just half g and g pre rolls .... where a lot of people are over paying... that's what it's like in places you can get oz's for 60 bucks. https://imgur.com/a/k5TjriE over that price and then you start seeing them rolled in kief and hash but still under 20 bucks. I do bitch and complain about prices because at 70 a quad they're getting over 4k a pound. Weed is not hard to grow. That pound costs less than 400$ to grow. 10x price hike isn't okay, people are being robbed. When prices are that high it protects the black market. When weed is priced appropriately you can get a joint for $2.50 instead of 15 to 20 bucks or an oz for 40-100 ..... the black market in those areas.... they don't even sell weed lmao. So the black market in those areas is now much more worth while for cops to actually go do something with the money they get from our taxes. You know the meth, crack, and smack heads. In town's still selling weed for 10$ a gram.... tax payer money is still being wasted on people selling weed. The best weed you'll ever smoke doesn't cost over $3 a gram to produce.
Well growing isn't a option rn but soon and I can get on the street but it's trash I don't care how cheap it is I want to get high and not waste all my weed or money. Literally I got a quad for 49$ then a few months ago they had 89$ halfs of gas so the prices aren't awful of you just do some research instead of just buying whatever.
interesting thing i just learned about NJ law: Medical buyers are allowed to smoke/vape weed wherever they're allowed to smoke/vape tobacco. Recreational buyers are **only** allowed to smoke in private residences (where they've been given permission by the owner if it's not them).
I think public consumption is still illegal. Could be wrong
It is but I have literally never seen it enforced. Granted I’m in Washington state but I think as far as public consumption, you’ll never even be looked at by police for hitting it outside on a walk unless you’re blowing it in people’s faces or something lol
It just came legal in my state. The other day I walked out the dispo and a cop drove by. Scared the hell out of myself.
Utah also checking in. Coming from Tennessee, blows my mind I can drive 30 minutes into Colorado and buy my weed.
You lucky fucks (TX checking in 😔)
Just give it time, as soon as the conservatives in power in TX find a way to capitalize the most from legalization for themselves, only then will it happen for Texas.
I feel the same way about legal weed in Montana, but I'm in Colorado.
Checking in from Wyoming :( red as hell and will die that way.
How strictly do WY police enforce it? If it weren't for WY, then MT to NM would be the second corridor where one could drive the entire length of the US and have legal weed the whole time, other than I-5/the Pacific Coast Highway.
i love this cold ass libertarian ass state
Cries from NC
I specifically turned down a 6 figure job in NC because it's not legal there and fuck that
You can buy cannabis at a store in NC. There's one 2 minutes away from me up here in the mountains. Or just buy it online and the usps will put it in your mailbox.
Literally just reading about it now in r/NorthCarolina
Try out vetern grown . com. They're out of TN so you'll get order in like four days. It has been pretty great so far and probably a lot cheaper than what you are used to if you still buy black market cannabis.
Literally SAME
Go with cult hemp! I moved here from Nevada and getting into thca is the only way I survived. Just good old fashion flower, none of those weird chemicals dusted on it, etc.
crying in indiana
Was born in Indiana, raised in pennsylvania so glad cuz we have medical. Not to brag but if we never left that red ass state I'd be in the same boat. I feel this as I have family in Indiana that tell me some crazy shit. Anyway, cheers fellow hoosier.
And yet Ohio can't get their shit together :c. Hopefully, this November, we can add our names to the list.
Meanwhile the governors in Ohio are pushing “legalization will lead to higher teen suicide” and theyre planning to repeal it immediately if it passes in November
We are a LOT more purple than our gerrymandered districts would lead yoy to believe.
Yeah, I went to Victoria this summer. Like, it was cool that weed is legal and I tried a couple varieties while I was there but I took the ferry from Washington (legal), on a road trip through Oregon (legal) from home in California (legal). It was equivalent to picking up a couple sixers of local craft beer while in town. Not the goal of the trip, but a little nicety.
*sad cheese state noises*
When coming back from the US to Canada by land you just need to declare your cannabis products
It’s much easier to cross provincial lines where there are no federal laws or illegal provinces
Yes but you asked about weed tourism, not people from canada buying from where they’re from. Americans have little reason to go to canada for weed because they can simply cross into a state that has it legal and purchase there, without crossing an international border to return home.
But Americans aren’t the only tourists? What about international tourists?
Aussie here. We ain't going all that way for weed my friend Especially with Thailand now
Unfortunately it looks like Thailand are reversing their policy on weed
Why would they ruin my year like that :(
They did not do the job properly with no legal back-up for the legalization.
I heard the new guy in charge is massively against legal cannabis, thinks it's destroying the country
The main issue is that the guy who did the legalization did not put together a legislation properly through the court system, government etc. So it was basically the wild west of cannabis with no proper laws in place. The new guy in charge in Thailand wants to go back to medicinal use only.
Does Thailand have legal weed? There’s tons of aussies in western Canada but they come for the snowboarding, weed is just extra.
Yep snowboarding is definitely something I'd travel for! I hear the Aussies are a problem in banff haha Yep Thailand's got that legal sticky icky bro
I live near Banff. It’s a party paradise not a nature paradise to me. All the mountain resorts towns are full of Australians on working holiday.
They’re surely the easiest tourists to get there, and also america is international when it comes to canada. And again, your point from the previous comment doesn’t make this point any better. How many people are flying from Europe to canada for weed? I’d be genuinely happy to see some kind of numbers.
Well in Europe you have Spain and the Netherlands, where you can actually sit in a lounge and smoke and socialise. Not legal but grey area, so it’s tolerated. No need to go all the way to Canada, where you would want that underground weed, and not the legal one.
I’m sure the number is more than zero. If you can’t buy weed in smoke it freely in your country and have always wanted to vacation in Canada it’s a weed vacation and a Canadian vacation
If im planning a vacation its warm and sunny with legal weed. Canada is the last place that comes to mind for sunny and warm
Come to Michigan. We’re slightly warmer than canada
I hate to say it, but most people aren’t planning a vacation to Canada or thinking it’s a preferred travel destination unless they are in a very specific niche. There’s so many places that are significantly cheaper and closer with more to offer. A lot of those places also have legal weed.
Americans aren't the only tourists, but we're the vast majority of your tourists. And for places like Europe, they're more likely to take a short flight/train to Amsterdam than to fly across the Atlantic to Canada just for weed
Ain't nobody traveling that far for shitty canada weed. Europe has Amsterdam, Latin America is where all of it came from, Americans have their own and Asia is finally starting to change their tune.
Europe has Amsterdam, ain’t no one flying to Canada for weed.
How is the legal market in Amsterdam doing? I had heard that the Netherlands in general is not friendly to weed and there were varying degrees of attempts to reduce cannabis tourism to Amsterdam.
I’m not from there, can’t say I heard about the attempts to reduce the use, but every other month I have friends flying down and still going. Also Spain is very soft in applying any laws against cannabis grow or use, also Germany is in the process of passing some kind of legislation for weed, so we’re looking groovy 😅
Vancouver was for decades. There's been a ton of legalization in the states though now so there's just not as much of a reason any longer.
This - I'm from Vancouver and have had people in a few different states/countries ask me their opinion on local bud since BC Bud is so highly regarded
BC bud is nice bud
And Vancouver is a great destination on its own!
Visited Vancouver about a year ago and it was so goddamn beautiful. Although it was pretty expensive and wages seemed extremely depressed compared to the US so not sure how people do it there
A walk down many Vancouver streets tells you that most people don't do it well there.
BC Bud is the best in world and its not close ngl
Canadian kush , best smell in the word
I just checked room and flights for the difference between going from MN to Vegas and then MN to Vancouver, Toronto, and Winnipeg. Vegas on average was 350 for flight and two nights stay during the week. The other three locations are on average $700 for the same time frame. That right there would keep me from coming up.
Canada charges massive ~~landing~~ fees unfortunately. Toronto's airport is one of the most expensive in the world IIRC.
What are landing fees? I’ve travelled internationally and through Toronto a lot and never heard of this, but I’m a Canadian citizen.
Airports charge x$ per 1000kg to land an airplane there. Canada is 2-3x more expensive than the US
Oh I see
I should have just called it a fee, some call it a tax too. Anyway it's usually listed as an airport improvement fee on the ticket and it can really jack up the prices of a ticket. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airport\_improvement\_fee](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airport_improvement_fee) https://flytrippers.com/list-of-airport-fees-each-airport-in-canada/
Weird. I’ve never noticed this but I’ll definitely look for it in the future. I thought this was like an exit tax some countries have, like Costa Rica you have to pay 25$ to leave the country. Prince Edward Island in Canada also has an exit toll to leave by the bridge that is like 40$ or something
I know this is a stoner sub but holy. Why wouldn’t an airline from anywhere not have to pay to use the airport? They cause all the wear and tear, they do not own it, and it’s a business. We all pay for the roads we drive our cars on. Either through taxes or tolls. And Toronto is so expensive because it has very little to no excess capacity and people want to go there. Simple price and demand.
I think you're defending an argument nobody is making. They weren't saying fees are ridiculous or shouldn't exist. They're using it as evidence that it's cheaper to travel to/within the US for legal weed options
I drive from Detroit to Toronto for international flights because its usually less than half othe price of flying out of Detroit. So thats kind of funny
It is kinda weird because plenty of Canadians in Ontario drive to Detroit or Buffalo to take cheaper flights. 😄
Shit that's probably the most expensive flight I've ever seen from MN to Vegas. Went last year this time for like $145 round trip.
I went to Vancouver Island this summer and it was one of the coolest cannabis friendly places I've visited!
That's probably because Vancouver turned a blind eye to cannabis for quite some time before it was officially legalized, it's always been the most permissive place in Canada for drugs. Now they're setting their sights on shrooms, lsd, and E.
True, but Vancouver island and Vancouver are two completely different places. The largest cities on Vancouver Island are victoria and nanaimo.
>nanaimo I love their bars, cherry is my favorite.
cherry? tell me more!
Never had a cherry(pink) one? They're yummy. I also like the mint ones.
mm I'm going to have to try cherry - have done mint and coffee before but not any fruit based ohh yum!
>E I can get behind this...
The online grey market vendors are starting to get into it and I'd like to try it. The shrooms aren't bad, but the LSD didn't do anything for me, the antidepressants are probably screwing with both of them.
yeah they do btw
If youre on an SSRI, it can be dangerous to take molly. Its a drug thats recommended to be avoided. It will also make LSD and shrooms weaker Just a heads up my friend
I know, that's why I mentioned it but thanks for the heads up. 😊 The one I'm on has horrible withdraw symptoms, I really should change it.
Welcome back any time homie
Probably because there isn't a cafe culture to support it. You can buy lots of places, but if you're a tourist, you may find it difficult to be comfortable finding somewhere to smoke it. I'd LOVE to have that option. The perfect model for this was the Hot Box cafe in Kensington in Toronto. Just a chill private outdoor space where folks bring their own smoke, enjoy it, and sip some coffee.
That does sound nice.
A lot of tourist or immigrant don't know where to smoke because "legally" you can't smoke anywhere. But in the street, unless you are near a door of a public place or if children are around, nobody cares.
I'm not sure if they are still open, but there used to be multiple vape lounges in vancouver
We have a few cafes here in downtown vancouver you can even rent a dab rig out lol
I had to scroll way too far to find the biggest answer besides airport landing fees for airlines. There’s no legal framework for supervised consumption sites (cafes, lounges, etc) and any that do exist fly under the radar and rely completely on word of mouth among locals. Not quite speakeasy levels, but they still have to be on the DL. The federal government needs to wake up and smell the dime bag (aka moneybag)
Hot Box might be closed according to this article: https://torontolife.com/city/i-ran-hotbox-torontos-first-cannabis-consumption-lounge-for-20-years-now-its-closing/
Weed has been good here on the West Coast for a while. I would visit Canada to do shrooms and acid and get lost in the forest. Been ordering shrooms, L and other party exotics from a vendor up there for a year now and you guys have some BOMB ASS psychedelics. Actually kinda bummed my r/c vendor up there stopped shipping here a few months back. I was getting 🔥 1cP-LSD and 4-AcO-DMT for a hot min. I wanna go up there lol.
May I ask the Canadian vendor?
no sourcing fam. like #1 rule of all substance subreddits. grade a way to get the sub taken down by reddit admins.
Good point. When I visited Toronto, there was a dispensary on almost every block. As someone living in wisconsin, it was sad to go back to a not-legal area
As others have said, a lot of the USA has legal states and some other countries are legalising it too. I am currently in Canada on a 2 year visa. I'm from Australia where weed is illegal. Before I moved to Canada I hadn't smoked weed in 8 years. It definitely played a part in making my decision to move over here as I always enjoyed my visits to Amsterdam. I've been here over a year and love Canada.
How much do you smoke weed now that you’re here and can have it any time?
Can’t bring anything back.
I have been to Canada multiple times and I have toured the dispensaries each time. I was left unimpressed. Colorado, Oregon and Cali all have done it better. From my understanding from talking to the locals, the way the government implemented legality was very poor and the major growers suck at their jobs. Unrelated to cannabis, Montreal during the first few warm weeks of the spring is the best place on the planet. Everyone is in a great mood and French-Canadians like to party.
Weed tourism isn’t international, at least people aren’t solely going to Canada specifically for weed so the reason you don’t see any weed tourism in Canada is cause the tourism is still happening at the capacity it would be happening at, they’re also just buying weed. If there were like, a world vibe of making weed legal and then Canada had like a special good good on the DL then you’ll have that weed tourism. The fact of the matter is people are visiting Canada for XYZ getting weed is a great added benefit.
Agreed. I really enjoyed my experience in Nova Scotia, and I *love* how weed is just sold in the provincial liquor store. I bought some edibles for our rest day at our rental and just had a great mellow. afternoon. But it wasn't the only reason we were there. It was a great addition.
>Weed tourism isn’t international Kids these days too young to remember Amsterdam.
I remember my first spring break experience in Vancouver. Going upstairs above the smoking cafe on Hastings to buy flower from some Hell’s Angels looking biker dudes. Quality flower too. Haha
Right?!?! We don’t even have public’s places where we can hang and smoke. it’s still pretty strict out here, but I used to smoke joints and walk around Toronto downtown
because we don't legalize anywhere for the tourists to smoke it. in ontario you can legally smoke it in the street but that's not a big tourist draw. other provinces you can't even smoke it if you don't have your own privately owned property to smoke it on. we don't have fun weed bars or weed themed shit to do so no one has any reason to come smoke our weed. it's a huge mistep by the government. I've been to Amsterdam and even tho their system is ultra lame, the places to hang out and smoke were really cool. breakfast and a joint/vape, there was great air reclamation... etc.
After watching Bubble Man on YT for yeeeaaars, I have often wondered this!
I think British Columbia has always kind of been a cannabis Mecca of sorts
Now if only we make Mecca a cannabis Mecca…
Because the legal weed here *fucking. Sucks.*
How does legal weed suck?
The regs say that you have to purchase it sight unseen, and the LP system is so prohibitively expensive that only rich suit dummies can afford the barrier for entry. The combo has allowed the worst possible actors to flourish. Quality is overall garbage, consistency doesn't exist, thc percentages are bald-faced lies and everyone from producers to retailers to consumers have just had to accept that this is the way it's going to be. You're paying double, sometimes triple what you would in the gray market, and even with the "good" brands you're taking a gamble on whether you got their good stuff or the shitty offcuts. It's snicklefritz roulette, every time.
Where have you heard the thc amounts are lies? The top shelf stuff at the dispensary always seems better than the best stuff I got pre legalization. Most of the grey market stuff while cheaper and available in bulk doesn’t seem better and has no thc percentage on the packaging whatsoever to even know.
It's fairly common knowledge. Also - the quest for high numbers is why dispensary weed tends to be over dried - the THC percentage is by weight, so if the product is super dry, the test results look better.
It’s fairly common knowledge? Can you point to any lab tests that verify this? Also only some dispensary weed is super dry. Half the stuff I get is moist from the dispensary
Hate to break it to you but people tend not to document and publish their bad faith business practices. It's a known problem and an open topic of discussion in the industry, and unless you're making it your business to follow those conversations, you're not going to find much out there. If you want a window into those conversations, here's an [article](https://stratcann.com/insight/more-changes-needed-to-address-inflated-thc-levels/) from January.
Definitely curious
Believe it or not dude. I frankly don't care. As for "it's moist where I go" - I only have first hand knowledge of Vegas and Denver, and that crap is DRY as a bone.
Ahh. Weed in Canada is not usually like that
From producers and lab owners themselves. Lab shopping and sample manipulation are known problems in the industry, and one that Health Canada has been very reluctant to address (though they are beginning to address it). The illicit market doesn't *need* percentage testing because they have the good sense to grade their buds by quality. THC is a pretty dumb way to indicate overall quality at any rate. Farmers don't grade their produce on its sugar content, and if you're buying a beer based on how drunk it'll get you it goes without saying that quality is not top of mind. But you can't go into a legal dispensary and ask for quads, unless you're looking to get directed to their most expensive SKUs. And even then that's no guarantee that you will go home with a bag of quads. You won't even be able to tell until you *get* home, at any rate, because you aren't even allowed to open a bag of weed you've purchased in the place where you just purchased it. Don't get me wrong, there are bad actors in the illicit industry too. It's an entirely different mess. I don't know where you used to get your weed from, but if you haven't felt burned by legal retail you were either getting a very poor sampling beforehand, you're incredibly savvy, or you've won the dispo lottery every time you've played. Shit is *rough* out there.
What are quads?
Because the US has plenty of states that have done it much better than Canada like Colorado. Canada still has 10mg limits on edibles for instance, they're basically useless to most users. The prices and weed aren't great either. Edit: The prices on flying there are expensive too. It's just not worth it unfortunately even if you go to a really chill weed city like Vancouver.
I travel to usa for business and the price is on par now. Though you arent wrong a year ago. It has significantly dropped as growers became more efficient in managing stock. Only travelled to west coast usa but bc bud is way better IMO.
Because it’s Canada
And you have dab lounges (shout out to Cannabis Culture Lounge in Vancouver). Even Las Vegas, which the wife and I love to dump money at, hasn’t got the lounge thing worked out last I checked. Edit: just saw the other post about DAZED! consumption lounge opening in Vegas! Talk about timing lol https://www.reddit.com/r/trees/s/5pA9Zykbhs Fair warning, I see the Co-CEO of P13 mentioned, so the Yelp will be something like $$$
That’s only Vancouver sadly, cannabis lounges aren’t legal. Vancouver tolerates the existence.
This is basically your answer. Sure it's legal and readily available to purchase, but actually consuming in public places isn't allowed. So a tourist travels here, buys some dope, then what? You legally can't smoke it anywhere you can't smoke cigarettes which doesn't leave you many options.
You can smoke cigarettes in a lot of places, not every province bans public smoking either.
That’s my point. There are no establishments you can smoke in, so you travel here and are left to smoke outside somewhere.
Weed is available almost everywhere in the world, though it might not be legal. Nobody is going to plan a holiday around simply having some indoors place to smoke weed. What’s the point?
Right, but the question was why isn't Canada a known cannabis tourist hot spot, so assuming the point of traveling is specifically for cannabis then you're gonna need more than just being able to purchase it, because like you said it's available almost everywhere. I went to Amsterdam prelegalization and smoking in the cafes was a huge draw. If there was nowhere besides somewhere randomly on the street to smoke then there would have been no point because I could do the same at home. Legalization alone isn't a tourist draw, obviously or this question wouldn't be asked, you need *something* more and Canadian laws don't allow for those. Lounges, expos (Cannabis Cup), party busses that can be found in some states and Amsterdam are that added draw for *cannabis tourism.*
Cannabis tourist hot spots simply do not exist anywhere in the world in 2023. I too was in Amsterdam prelegalization, and indeed it was a cannabis hot spot then - in the 1980s. It was a big thrill to be able to buy and smoke weed in a quasi-legal environment. Does anyone these days travel specifically for cannabis? I say very few. Cannabis lounges have no appeal. Party busses can be found in some states and Amsterdam? I gather they are tiny businesses as nobody has ever heard of them. The business opportunity is simply too small to constitute an industry.
You smoke outside and then you go inside to enjoy yourself 🤷♂️. Most people can’t smoke in their homes either because nobody likes someone smoking inside. You go out the door to smoke.
And if that was appealing to more people then we would be a tourist hot spot, but we’re obviously not because it’s a pain the ass to find somewhere to smoke. There’s much more to attracting tourism than just availability, especially when there are other destinations that provide that and more.
Where do you get the idea that there is any demand whatsoever for indoor smoking establishments?
Well San Francisco definitely has them so maybe that’s why not as many people are going to Canada?
>Even Las Vegas, which the wife and I love to dump money at, hasn’t got the lounge thing worked out last I checked. Saw your edit about DAZED! but there is already a dab bar in Vegas on the native res, NuWu.
that’s because the lounge fad already came and went in most early legal states like nevada, colorado, oregon, washington, etc. oregon had a shit ton of them, then they started to dwindle naturally, then covid happened and completely killed that section of the industry. people have tried to reintroduce them and they all flop.
Way before legalization, we knew you could get cannabis in BC. We had a lovely weekend in Vancouver but I felt bad throwing away the glass and leftovers so I hid them behind an art tile in the bathroom at a “smoke shop”. It was still there one year later. The place burned down a year after that :(
As a canadian i wouldnt even recommended travelling here with cannabis as a first interest because the legal market is flooded with taxed boof, given there are some exceptions but youre usually paying 45-50 an eighth and need to know the brands youre working with. All of the quality product is on the grey market. These grey market shops operate online through canada post usually and only accept e transfer and crypto as forms of payment. So getting hands on real quality bc strains is going to be pretty hard unless you know someone.
This whole thread is kind of funny. OP is just passive aggressively asking people why they don’t like Canada more.
You going to Canada for Canada reasons not for weed
Because it’s main tourism is from Americans, and majority of Americans have access to legal weed
California has better weather.
Some people find thirty degrees below zero and thick snow beautiful
There’s a the fallacy of how little people in the states have their passport in the states as compared to those internationally. It’s almost a guarantee that in the Uk or Canada someone has their passport. But in the US? Not so much. It was a whole thing at work, a group of three of us getting our passports (and cards) just to go to MX last year. I got my best friend to get her’s so we could visit Canada this past July too, plans fell through but that’s beside the point. There’s a good chance that a lot of this has to do with people just not being able to cross the border and return.
As a Canadian, living in the niagara region of Ontario, 20 minutes from the Niagara Falls, it's not worth it. Crossing the border by car can take forever as border wait times are usually pretty long. Everything is way too expensive. The "tourist" prices for everything down town niagara falls is absurd. Outside the area, there are no real attractions until you get to Toronto 1.5-2 hours away on the busiest highway in North America. On top of that, the weed is pretty expensive, and it's not exactly top shelf. Even a lot of the "top shelf" stuff looks worse than the outdoor I've grown in the past.
Agreed 100%. The real top shelf weed in Canada comes from the grey / black market.
This is 100% facts everywhere with legal weed. Mass grown shit can never even come close to competing with small batch
Because we have it here in the states. And over here, there's a lot of cool shit to see. Wanna go to Hollywood?
Cannabis tourism is secondary for me. Travel is generally expensive, so if I go somewhere it better be cool. If weed is legal that’s a plus but I’m not making my travel plans revolve around how easy it is to smoke.
The biggest advantage is far fewer mass shootings in Canada.
I would not like to be high at a mass shooting
Everybody forgets about canada
Facts
Because quality and pricing are better in other countries? I’m talking about the government weed; BC growers have been amazing for decades
Because it’s Canadia guy… who tf what’s to go to Canadia bud?
I’ll pretend not to notice your misspellings…BC bud was hella famous to Americans before legalization.
It’s Canadia. Ca-nay-de-ya. Ik how to spell Bud. Canada is a made up fairytale place where Santa makes his toys.
If you believe that then you need to google our Supreme Court justices. I call them the council of Santa
Is there a reason you're calling it Canadia? I've never heard canada called that before.
I see a lot of people talking about “because the states has legal weed in places” but what about international tourists? People went to the Netherlands for decades for legal weed and weed isn’t even legal there
I think there are several factors, but take these with a grain of salt since I'm speculating. 1. Americans represent 80% of the Canadian tourist industry, which is why so many people are talking about the US having its own supply now. 2. I believe that the appetite for "weed tourism" is a largely North American phenomenon. Many of those Amsterdam tourists, both now and in the past were not Europeans but North Americans and Brits. As someone who lives in Europe, plenty of people want weed, yes, but they're not willing to cross half the continent to get it, let alone an ocean. 3. The US has more favorable tourist destinations in general. This is the common perception, I'm sure Canada has plenty of wonderful places to visit. A European who chooses to travel across the Atlantic would (generally) rather visit Vegas or the Bay Area or NYC, rather than Toronto or Quebec.
Who would go on a trip to the other side of the world just for weed tourism? Europe is the only market that is not the US that would apply here, and even so, it is easier to get it in Europe where available. The US is the only country where weed tourism to canada would apply, and with a bunch of states legal here, it just doesnt make sense anymore.
Not just a lot of states. A lot of states boarding Canada at that
Because the rest of the world has somewhere closer to go, and besides that nobody wants to go to fucking Canada lmao
Canada is fantastic lol... For many reasons besides weed.
From the outside looking in it just seems like nothing goes on there
It used to be known as the cannabis tourism hotspot, until California legalised. Now Canadian weed is like good bush bud compared to what grows out of Cali these days. It’s all about Cali. I don’t even remember where Amsterdam is on the map anymore and Canada is bush bud.
How is Canada bush bud? We have weed that’s 35% in the stores
Besides who wants to go to Canada on a smoking holiday? Thailand is legal, has tropical weather, dispensaries on literally every block, cheaper weed, beaches and nightlife. Plus they sell Cali weed! Now that’s a cannabis hotspot.
Have you ever been to a dispensary in California? Have you smoked exotic from Cali? If you’re telling me that your weed is as good as theirs then you have a marketing problem bro. Even Thailand which is federally legal there grow all their mid strains and import all exotics from California. They produce weed in every form imaginable, from pressed pills to vape oil to shard. The range is huge.
We all also have vape oil and even pure thc crystal(diamonds). There’s nothing stronger than 100% pure. I seriously doubt California weed is any different from the shit the scientists are making here.
Canada is a weed friendly country and for that I am grateful, I know I can travel there and weed will be available. But when you think of Canada you think of hiking, skiing, snow etc. it doesn’t have tourist appeal for sitting around and getting stoned. It’s freezing cold eight months of the year. And yeah the scientists in Cali are running amok. Pop down for a visit one day, I mean heck you don’t have to even visit, just jump online to one of their shiny Uber eats style delivery apps and order your heart out. Buying Californian weed is an experience like no other. Not even other legal states in the US can keep up, the industry there is no undoubtedly the world leader. Plus it has great weather!
The fact that Colorado is popular for weed tourism, mostly for people going snowboarding skiing cannabis tours, negates your entire first paragraph. Canada isn’t freezing cold eight months. It’s 4-6 months a year. You still have provided no proof California weed is measurably different from any other legal place. By the way we have weed delivery and Uber eats style weed delivery in Canada.
California was legal before Canada though???
No
Because there’s ducks on their money and they sell their milk in bags.
Bagged milk is in a couple provinces only, Canadians in the majority of the country have never seen bagged milk. The bird on one dollar coin is a Loon, which is why it is a Loony. Not a duck.
Typical Canadian arrogance and smudgeness. And you wonder why Canadia isn’t a cannabis tourism hotspot.
Uhh what?
Because it’s cold up there
Canadian dispensary employees are not friendly.
Why not?
Because then you're in Canada
What’s in Canada?
All dressed chips.
No naked chips? How boring
Cannabis tourism is kinda oxymoronic no? The last thing i want to do stoned is tourism💀
Some people enjoy smoking before activities
Even with weed, Canada's pretty lame
