| Abstract: | This study aims to explore the social forces that shape tourists' motives in consuming cannabis while on vacation. It uses grounded theory approach and suggests four umbrella groups of motovations to consume cannabis while traveling. These are experimentation, pleasure and diversion-seeking, quest for authenticity and accessible purchasing. The study concludes by examining several theoretical and epistemological issues revolving around the relationship between tourism, cannabis use and everyday life. |
