Denver, Colorado 🏔️
The Mile-High City was first to legalize adult use and is finally rolling out licensed cannabis lounges, day spas, and bus tours; four permanent spots opened in 2025 alone. Pair a ski weekend in Breckenridge with a downtown tasting flight, then grab munchies in the fast-growing food-hall scene.

Las Vegas, Nevada 🎰
Sin City now lets you consume legally outside your hotel room, thanks to the opening of dedicated consumption lounges in recent years. Expect cocktail-style menus, live DJs, and budtenders who act like sommeliers, all a quick ride from the Strip’s winter light shows.

Portland, Oregon 🌲
Public cafes are still banned, but “bud-and-breakfasts” give travelers private, fully legal places to spark up. Add brewery crawls, waterfall hikes, and tax-free shopping to keep rainy season blues at bay.

Hudson Valley, New York 🌉
Upstate villages are opening boutique dispensaries inside restored barns, while NYC day-trippers can consume anywhere tobacco is allowed (just not in cars). Think cozy cabins, cider donuts, and a perfectly rolled joint beside the wood-burning stove.

Vancouver, Canada 🍁
Nationwide legality means you can buy from government-approved stores and carry up to 30g in public; rules on outdoor smoking do vary by province, so check signage before lighting up. Winter festivals along Granville Island pair oh-so nicely with a low-dose gummy and ocean views.

Amsterdam, Netherlands 🌷
Coffeeshops are iconic for a reason, though new “stay-and-smoke” limits in the Red Light District will nudge tourists out towards lesser-known neighborhoods. Pack a warm coat, rent a cruiser bike, and sample hash flights between leisurely canal walks.

Barcelona, Spain 💃🏽
Cannabis clubs in Spain operate as private, member-only associations, though many accept same-day membership if you have ID and a referral code. Once inside, enjoy laid-back lounges stocked with local craft flower—perfect after a Gaudí tour and tapas crawl. Keep in mind, it’s still illegal to carry or consume cannabis in public, so make sure you don’t try to bring anything out of the club with you.

Kingston, Jamaica 🏝️
Possession of small quantities is decriminalized, and visitors can apply for a quick medical permit on arrival. Herb houses sell island-grown cultivars like Lamb’s Bread; take it slow in the tropical sun and pair with a Blue Mountain coffee farm visit for maximum enjoyment.

Takeaways
Takeaways
Know local possession limits: 30g in Canada, 1oz in most U.S. states, 7.5g in Nevada lounges. Do your research beforehand to avoid any mix-ups or sticky situations, especially if you’re traveling abroad.
Respect private vs. public rules: Even in legal zones, smoking on sidewalks or beaches can often lead to fines.
Book cannabis-friendly lodging: “420-friendly” tags on rental sites signal open consumption policies.
Carry cash and ID: Many dispensaries still can’t process foreign credit cards.
