Cannabis-related tourism to have slow start in California
Submitted by paula on Mon, 01/29/2018 - 9:20pm
Cannabis is legal in our great state, and maybe you’re ready to scope out the new landscape of cannabis-related tourism. The floodgates have opened, you think, and there’s now a wellspring of pro-marijuana activities, events and venues to frolic through and explore, right?
Well, not exactly.
While cannabis promises to be a $10 billion economy here, the Golden State is still years away from fielding a well-oiled canna-tourism industry that’s on par with main attractions like wine tasting or outdoor recreation. Heck, it’s tough to find a legal place to even smoke the stuff.
