On to your "canna-toursm" article.

Stoner -  Globally, things are changing for that plant with the star-shaped leaves. Uruguay, Spain, Portugal, and Canada are just a few of the countries worldwide that have either legalized or decriminalized marijuana around the world. In the United States alone, you have Washington, Oregon, California, Colorado, Massachusetts, Maine, Alaska, Nevada, and Washington, D.C. They have all legalized the recreational use of the drug. However, this means that there are still many states that have kept it illegal to use, cultivate, or possess.

There is a silver lining in this disparity. For those in legalized states and countries, a growing industry dubbed “canna-tourism” has blossomed, and several places have become vacation destinations for medical users and cannabis connoisseurs alike. But where to go, where to go? Well, make your flight reservations, load up your car, or even get those Amtrak tickets, and we’ll let you know where to go to light up, have fun, and stay mellow for your next vacation.

Before you head out, do your research.

While some countries may have decriminalized cannabis, a good many still impose hefty fines and only a certain amount can be carried. The last thing you want on a vacation is to end up using your cannabis vacation money to bail yourself or a loved one out of the clink and pay fines. Or worse yet, find out you’re facing a hefty prison sentence in a foreign country. Be sure that you are aware of whether it is legal or simply decriminalized and just how much you can carry. In some countries, it’s legal to carry, but selling it carries harsh sentences.

For example, if you totally want an all expenses paid trip to Siberia, all you have to do is carry more than six grams while visiting Mother Russia. Hop on over to Estonia, where you can possess up to 7.5 grams before you may end up behind bars. If you’re traveling to the land down under, be sure of wherever you are traveling within the country. Like the United States, some areas have decriminalized the drug while others offer stiff penalties. Better to be sure before you go or you might be spending your holiday behind bars.
