Cannabis article[edit]

Swept in from the pub

Wikivoyage now has an article about use of cannabis in territories where it is legal. Please provide your opinions for whether the article goes in line with Wikivoyage policies and guidelines. /Yvwv (talk) 15:56, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I can't see any point where it might go against policy. We have an article on LGBT travel even though some (ehem) "regimes" still find it necessary or proper to legislate against consensual activities between adults. The fact that more jurisdictions currently prohibit cannabis consumption should not have any bearing on whether or not we have this article. Our aim is to serve the voyager and a certain number of them may be interested in the topic of cannabis abroad as it may well figure into their travel plans.

Exactly. Alcohol is illegal in some countries, too. I'd note that we've had an article about Coca for some time, and if there's been much controversy about it, I missed it. Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:38, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It's pretty clearly in line with policy. -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 17:37, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Wikivoyage:Drug policy This was written by the OP, so I think this is also a tacit referendum on this document as well. —Justin (koavf)TCM 18:07, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oh Cannabis/da![edit]

Apparently the bill is now a step closer to being a law and in force. Does anybody know more details? this is the best English language link I could find. Hobbitschuster (talk) 18:13, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • CBC News is well regarded. Like any bill, it has to go through three readings in the House of Commons, where the Liberals have a majority, and three in the Senate, where a lot of members are independents, and then be signed into law by the Governor-General ("Royal Assent"). It will take a while, but as it was part of the government's election platform, it would be hard for the Senate to hold this up too long. Ground Zero (talk)

Cannabis urine detection[edit]

I added a section about the detection times and the danger of traveling from, let's say: Colorado to Dubai. With the legalization in full swing, this will be an issue for more and more people. Anybody with more information then me please feel free to edit my text and correct me where I am wrong. --Djardjar (talk) 18:52, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Colombia, Chile, South Africa[edit]

According to the map those countries are (now?) "blue" which is the category of "legal or essentially legal" but the prose does not mention their situation at all. Can someone add the pertinent information? Hobbitschuster (talk) 12:56, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Commons page disputes factual accuracy and the map hasn't been updated in nearly three years. I'd seriously consider whether or not the information presented is accurate, and even if it was three years ago, given the complexity of the map and the trend toward legalization in many places, I'd doubt it is accurate now. --Comment by Selfie City (talk | contributions) 13:22, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

weed[edit]

Swept in from the pub

With "cannabis tourism" being a thing now, do we need/want a template for listing establishments that sell it? (Or does it already exist and I just missed it?) I just added some listings for Homer using {{drink}} which works just fine really, but maybe a dedicated template would be good? Beeblebrox (talk) 23:14, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think {{drink}} works best for cannabis. While originally envisaged for bars and pubs, "Drink" now includes listings related to any kind of nightlife, non-alcoholic drinks and to an extent, drugs other than alcohol. Hookah bars where you smoke flavoured tobacco is put in "Drink". For places where just buy it, "Buy" is most suitable. Gizza (roam) 03:56, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Museums[edit]

I started Cannabis#Museums & added some but there are at least another half dozen (NYC, Boston, Seattle, Denver, Ohio, ... & see also w:Cannabis Museum & w:Hemp Museum (Berlin)) that I will not get to anytime soon. Volunteers? Pashley (talk) 06:50, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
