Everything about Drug Tourism totally explained
Drug tourism is travel for the purpose of obtaining or using
drugs for personal use that are unavailable or illegal in one's home jurisdiction. This would include crossing a national border to obtain drugs
over the counter that are not sold in one's own country, or traveling to another country in order to obtain or use
narcotics that are illegal in one's own country, or even traveling from one
U.S. state to another in order to buy
alcohol or
tobacco more easily (although this last situation is often considered too trivial to qualify as drug tourism). Drug tourism to other countries is also popular among college students in the United States younger than 21 who are not yet of the
legal drinking age for alcohol purchasing and consumption.
Drug tourism has many legal implications, and persons engaging in it sometimes risk prosecution for
drug smuggling or other drug-related charges in their home jurisdictions or in the jurisdictions they're visiting, especially if they bring their purchases home rather than using them abroad. The act of traveling for the purpose of buying or using drugs is itself a criminal offense in some jurisdictions.
Amsterdam is a popular destinations for drug tourists, due to the Dutch government's liberal attitude toward
marijuana use and possession. Another Dutch city which is visited frequently by drug tourists is
Maastricht because of its position close to the borders of
Germany and
Belgium. Other popular destinations include
Southeast Asia and
South America. Drug tourism thrives because legislation controlling the sale, possession, and use of drugs varies dramatically from one jurisdiction to another.
In
Australia, the
Australian Capital Territory and
South Australia have a more liberal approach to marijuana use, promoting interstate drug tourism, particularly from
Victoria and
New South Wales. In addition, some areas of northern New South Wales have a liberal recreational drug culture, particularly areas around
Nimbin where the annual
MardiGrass festival is held.
