The ease of use makes Canada a favorite for cannabis tourists. When it comes to traveling while enjoying the green herb, the country offers plenty of hot spots to offer. Toronto is the spot for cannabis lovers with plenty of cafes located in Kensington Market. The Hot Box Café here allows you to enjoy smoking or vaping, along with their delicious food.
2. The Netherlands: Since the early 1970s, the Netherlands has managed to become the ultimate destination for people who enjoy cannabis.

You can head to Kaya Herb House, a part dispensary, café, and cultivation facility for all your cannabis needs.
