USA cannabis tourism is exploding. A couple of years ago most people’s idea of ‘cannabis tourism’ would be just getting high by themselves before going somewhere cool. Now that’s no longer the case thanks to the laws changing in many states throughout America. USA cannabis tourism can take you to different amazing places while making it a full-on cannabis experience – the best of both worlds.
Grow Tours
Grow Tours are a really fun way to experience cannabis if you’re interested in cultivation or the history of cannabis. More and more grow ops are opening their doors to USA cannabis tourism so that they can show people the beauties of growing and expand everyone’s knowledge about cannabis. If you live in a state where cannabis growing is legal, you’re in luck as all of these states have a grow operation available to see. Remember, these aren’t your average home growers; these are full scale grow operations with hundreds, sometimes thousands of plants. You will see and learn a lot of you want to, so take it all in and see the sheer scale that cannabis is grown in the USA.
