Mexico’s legislators passed a bill to legalize marijuana on March 10, which would make the country the world’s largest legal marijuana market if the bill were passed into law, The New York Times said. For their part, travel advisors had varying opinions on the prospect of marijuana becoming legalized in the country.
While ‘marijuana tourism’ is not a heavily advertised niche yet in the travel market, there is no question that travelers flock to U.S. states like California or Colorado to partake legally in those destinations . Within months of full legalization, these states have produced many reports showing the overwhelmingly positive impact it had on their specific states’ economy.
The same holds true for global destinations. For international travel, it is no secret that similar laws concerning marijuana in other countries – the Netherlands, for instance – are a big, driving force for travelers wanting to see a new country and also experience the local culture. It would also cut down on ‘minor drug related offenses,’ thus making for a much safer destination.
