It’s that time to start thinking about where your travel plans for 2020 will take you. Cannabis legalization or decriminalization is in more countries than you thought, so you can enjoy your vacation while partaking in cannabis. Canada had the insight of being the second country to legalize cannabis use for medical and recreational use in the world. However, they are not the only cannabis-friendly nation. If you are looking forward to lying on a sunny beach while enjoying your spliff, there are a few bright spots that will welcome you.

Ecuador & Peru

Columbia is pretty lenient on the green bud. Columbia decriminalized up to 22 grams for personal use, they legalized the use of cannabis for medical reasons and they permitted individuals to cultivate up to twenty plants for their own consumption without fear of persecution, risk-free. Enjoy your weed at the residence you are staying in so long as you have been permitted to do so.

Uruguay

Wedged between Argentina and Brazil, this country opened the eyes of many when they legalized cannabis in 2014. The country not only legalized cannabis use, but the sale and the cultivation for medical and recreational purposes. Legalizing marijuana was not to lure cannabis users into purchasing from this country, the sanctioning pertained to actual residents; you cannot legally buy cannabis unless you reside there. Before hitting the beach or purchasing your herbs, you must register officially with the government.

Sri Lanka

Cannabis has been used for religious, spiritual ceremonies, and traditional medicine for years. The Ayurveda Act of the 1980s secured the use of cannabis for those purposes as being legally protected actions. Some of the doctors today prescribe cannabis for the treatment of specific conditions. Cultivation is permitted by the government or by government-sanctioned growers.

India

Sri Lanka's neighbour to its north has the same leniency policies surrounding cannabis.  Technically, cannabis is illegal. However, marijuana can be purchased from government-owned stores. Bhang, a form of milkshake containing weed, is available at these stores. Some Indian states have decriminalized or legalized cannabis for personal use. This makes it much easier to continue using your cannabis while on your vacation.

Laos & Cambodia

Here, not only is cannabis culturally accepted, but it is readily available to enhance your vacation. Technically it is still illegal; however, restaurants will prepare "happy" dishes; this usually means the dish is infused with THC. Perfect for a pre-beach lunch before hitting the sunny beaches.

Australia

The beautiful scenery and beaches in the land of down under are even more enjoyable when you can indulge in the green herb. Medical use is accepted throughout the country, and personal recreational use has been decriminalized in the following states, South Australia, Australia's Capital Territory, and Australia's Northern Territory. 2016 saw the first cannabis clubs opening up, making a great place to stop in before heading to your sunny beach retreat.
