7. Malta – Europe’s Tiny Cannabis Gem
This Mediterranean island nation quietly became the first in the EU to legalize personal cannabis use. While there aren’t commercial dispensaries yet, you can grow and consume your own weed legally.
8. United States – State by State
While cannabis isn’t legal at the federal level, many states have fully legalized it for recreational use. States like California, Colorado, Oregon, and New York are top destinations for cannabis tourism, with dispensaries, lounges, and events dedicated to weed culture.
