If you want to dive into an exploration of the business side of cannabis, Green Guide Marijuana Tours offers a Future of Cannabis tour highlighting both San Francisco and Oakland stops. They offer a variety of walking and bus tours including a “Bud Crawl.”
Cannabis Travel Association
SHOW NOTES UPDATED MAY 2021: What was the California Cannabis Travel Association that we discuss on the Potcast has now changed to the Cannabis Travel Association International as a response to the global movement to integrate cannabis and tourism ecosystems. The CTAI serves to promote the development of safe and responsible cannabis tourism, unify the cannabis and tourism industries, and advocate for an enabling regulatory environment and promoting best practices in this space.
