From Colorado To Spain, Here Are 5 Lifted Winter Getaways

The Caribbean is one of the most loved winter destinations. There are many beautiful places to vacation, but Negril has something special to it.

Whether you’re a “snowfall and hot chocolate around a roaring fire” kind of person, or prefer hitting the road for some winter travel that involves glistening sandy beaches when it gets cold, there’s a perfect vacation waiting for you this winter.

Here are 5 of some of the most beautiful, weed-friendly vacation spots in the world, whether you’re into marijuana travel or just travel in general.

Aspen, Colorado

If you’re a skier, you’re likely very aware of this legendary mountain escape. And if you’re a skier or snowboarder or snowshoer, etc. and haven’t been yet, this is your year. Colorado has been settling in nicely with its state of legalization and Aspen itself is peppered with bud bearing dispensaries.

Originally settled as a gold mining community, Aspen’s life thus far has literally spanned from the gold rush to the green rush. Celebrities are known to vacation in Aspen year round, so don’t be surprised to see Elton John, Kim Kardashian or supermodel Bella Hadid on the slopes or in the lodge sipping a warming cocktail. While you’re there, make sure you take in the bountiful Aspen trees, the sweeping mountainous views and big lungfuls of some of the best cannabis in the U.S..

Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada

Have a beautiful winter wonderland at your feet, soak up friendly local culture, take in the Northern Lights and enjoy pretty much any winter activity, all on a wide range of budgets, making this a very inclusive wintery destination; dining and lodging options abound. Don’t forget activities like dog sledding, snowmobiling and even ice fishing.

Ibiza, Spain

Ibiza is gorgeous all year long and is a literal hotspot for spring through fall tourism. The nightlife is legendary and the beaches pristine. The beauty of visiting this Spanish paradise in the winter is that temperatures are yet moderate and warm, but you have the place much more to yourself. You can do pretty much anything you want without the normal waits or crowds.

The gorgeous party town is home to plenty of cannabis social clubs, so you don’t have to worry about packing pot on the plane. The clubs are also going to be where you’re most likely to meet other high-minded travelers to exchange tips, harmless traveler’s lies and some dank Spanish weed or hash.

Negril, Jamaica

The Caribbean is one of the most loved winter destinations. A favorite island, especially for cannabis connoisseurs, is Jamaica. There are many beautiful places to vacation, but Negril has something special to it. Maybe it’s the Seven Mile Beach, where you can take a dip in the warm waters, sunbathe or enjoy a fruity cocktail and some ganja.

Maybe it’s Long Bay, which opens onto an enchanting lagoon, surrounded by coral reefs and ready for snorkeling or scuba-diving. Maybe it’s the abundant ganja, but really it’s a combination of all of the goodness this little section of the Caribbean island has to offer.

Los Angeles, California

The City of Angels has something for everyone, especially for those who love to puff now that weed is fully legal in California. L.A. is teeming with celebrities and those who want to be celebrities, so, naturally, the best of everything is right at your fingertips—as long as you have a car. That being said, if you’re going to imbibe, be sure to have your car service app at the ready.

Home to Venice Beach, Santa Monica, The Hollywood Hills, and West Hollywood, you’ll find strips of fun streets like Melrose Place and Santa Monica Boulevard. Don’t worry you won’t run out of things to do in L.A. Pack your California casual wardrobe, maybe a light sweater for the cooler evenings, but be sure to include a sweet suit or little black dress for a night out on the town. Los Angeles knows how to party and they do it in full swing, all year through.
