Cannabis tourism budgets almost always run hot. Edibles in Las Vegas cost two to three times more than the same products in Oregon. Coffeeshops in Amsterdam markup heavily compared to Spanish cannabis social clubs. Bangkok pre-rolls range from $4 to $40 depending on whether you're at a tourist storefront or a local dispensary three blocks deeper into the soi. Planning a global cannabis trip is as much about understanding price markets and consumption laws as it is about picking the right destination. The travelers who get the most out of their trip are the ones who research before they spend.
