How To Start a Weed Tour Business.
Nick tells us that weed tours are similar to wine tours, there's no consumption in the vehicles. They take their guests to either a grow operation or an extraction facility, "A lot of people, maybe, have had experience with cannabis but they really don't know a heck of a lot about it. Very similar to our wine guests. "I like to drink wine but I don't know a lot about it." says Nick. He continued: "We educate them on the plant, male, females, indica, sativa, CBD, THC, all that kind of stuff. Now they're armed with a little bit of knowledge. Off we go to the dispensaries. They have private appointments with the budtenders. They can purchase their product, and many of our guests are from out of town so they don't want to fly with their cannabis which is legal in Canada, but if you're an international guest, obviously it isn't. They get to do a little shopping for their product while they're in town for a few days, and the feedback's been amazing."
