Our surroundings can heavily influence our sense of imagination and fantasy, and this is particularly true when we’re high. There are places in this world that can turn an average weed smoking experience into a truly magical one. Here are some extraordinary places to visit high for an incredible and awe-inspiring experience!

COSTA BRAVA, SPAIN

Spain is as close to paradise for cannabis fans as it can get. With an active cannabis culture and laws in the country being quite lax when it comes to smoking weed, Spain has become a go-to destination for stoners from all over Europe. Overlooking the Mediterranean Sea in the country’s northeast is the Costa Brava, a location that has plenty to offer, regardless of whether you’re a “regular” tourist or looking to blaze up. Unlike further down South where it can get quite hot during the summer, the climate of the Costa Brava region is pleasantly mild so you can enjoy the sandy beaches, stunning mountain scenery, and tranquil Spanish villages all year round.

If that’s your thing, you can spend a great time here just blazing up at the beaches, but you can also have fun participating in other activities such as golf, trekking, or biking. But what makes the Costa Brava unique is that there is lots of culture and art to discover everywhere. Artists such as Salvador Dalí, Joan Miró, and Pablo Picasso have been attracted to the area, making it a fantastic location for modern art lovers. Don’t forget to check out the Dalí Theatre and Museum in Figueres, which has a collection of Dali's paintings, or the Dalí's House-Museum in Port Lligat near Cadaqués. The rich culture, surrounded by stunning landscapes at the foot of the Pyrenees make the Costa Brava incredibly inspirational and a great place to experience while high.

ROCKY MOUNTAINS, COLORADO

Of all the places in the United States, the Rocky Mountains in Colorado are definitely one of the top locations to experience if you want to get high. How about watching spectacular sunrises over stunning mountain peaks, or taking in the magical serenity of crystal clear mountain lakes surrounded by icy glaciers and majestic pine trees?

Colorado isn’t just a fabulous place to go so you can take in some of the most stunning views in this world. What makes Colorado especially great for cannabis lovers is its thriving legal industry. It was one of the first states in the US to comprehensively legalize medical and recreational weed. This means if you’re 21 or older, you can now legally have 1oz (28g) of marijuana and you don’t even need to be a resident of the state. With cannabis now legal in Colorado, you sure won’t have trouble finding countless dispensaries in the bigger cities, where you can get superb cannabis bud, edibles, and whatever else a stoner could ever need. What’s more, thanks to booming cannabis tourism in Colorado, chances are good that you will meet like-minded folks as well!

KENAI FJORDS NATIONAL PARK, ALASKA

The Kenai Fjords National Park in Alaska is an amazing place that seems as though it was plucked right out of a fantasy novel! Ice, mountains, and crystal clear waters meet to form a landscape of surreal beauty, where you can experience nature like nowhere else! Enjoy incredible views of more than 40 glaciers flowing down from the Harding Icefield, which is probably Kenai Fjords’ most spectacular feature. But there is a lot more to explore.

If you want to get high in what may well be one of the most fascinating places on Earth, you can stay in one of the park's three public use cabins overnight for an unforgettable blazing experience under the Alaskan sky. If you feel more adventurous, you can go on spectacular day hikes to see the icy glaciers close-up. Or, you can go see the fjords on a boat tour. For a true once-in-a-lifetime experience, you can also rent a kayak to explore the tide-water glaciers, where you have a good chance of seeing bears, whales, otters, and other animals close up!

THE OLD QUARTER, LUXEMBOURG CITY

Located in the small country of Luxembourg is a true gem to discover, the historic Old Quarter in Luxembourg City. The beautifully laid out parks and gardens in the medieval town and the cobbled streets lined with charming old buildings are perfect if you want to spend an afternoon enjoying a good smoke. If you stroll here with a little “herbal inspiration” of your preference, you may well feel as if you’re inside a fantasy roleplay game!

You can still see the ancient city fortifications surrounding the city, and there are fascinating landmarks such as old bridges that spawn over waterways. There is history everywhere. You don’t need a map or a plan to enjoy this amazing medieval location. If you explore the historic alleyways of the Old Quarter just following your nose, there will always be something to see and discover around the corner!

YUCATAN, MEXICO

There are not many things in this world more fascinating than experiencing the mystical Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. It is there where you can find many archaeological sites from the time of the Mayas, with the Pyramid of Chichen Itza being one of the most popular and spectacular sights. The iconic Mayan pyramid is perfectly aligned to the sun so that every year at equinox, the shadow of a snake descends upon its steps. Smoke some good Mexican weed and you will be in for a truly unforgettable experience!

But Chichen Itza is not the only inspiring place that you can experience on the Yucatan Peninsula. There are many more ancient locations, such as Uxmal, the rounded-edge pyramid with intricate facades that was mythically built in one night, and Dzibilchaltun “the place with the writing on the stones”, with its “Temple of the Seven Dolls”. You can go on bus tours or rent a car and drive at your own pace so you explore Mayan ruins just like Lara Croft!

IGUAZU AUTUMNS, ARGENTINA

The name "Iguazú" comes from an ancient term for “big water”—and “big” these waterfalls are for sure! Named one of the 7 Wonders of the Natural World by UNESCO, there are few sights more awe-inspiring than the Iguazu Autumns, so they’re a must-see location for anyone who ever gets the privilege to visit Argentina. Legend has it that an ancient god wanted to marry the beautiful Naipí; she, however, didn’t exactly like the idea, so she fled with her lover Tarobá in a canoe. The god wasn’t pleased about that, so he sliced the river and turned the two lovers into an eternal water autumn.

The gigantic scale and stunning beauty of the autumns are already incredible by themselves, but going there inspired by some good weed makes the experience just outright mind-boggling. There are several trails in the region that you can walk so you can experience spectacular views of the autumns and the surrounding rainforest.

6 INSPIRATIONAL LOCATIONS TO VISIT HIGH—BOTTOM LINE

Sure thing, getting high in any of these places will make for an unforgettable experience. But know that not all places in the world have the same relaxed stance on weed like we’d love them to. So if you light up in any of those places, know that you would be blazing at your own risk.

DisclaimerIt’s no secret that humans have a huge impact on the planet. While smoking cannabis often draws us closer to nature, it can also cause us to accidentally (or intentionally) contribute to this mess.

At Royal Queen Seeds, we encourage you to leave no trace. Whether you’re camping in the woods, chilling on the beach, or enjoying time at your local park, always take your rubbish home with you.

Also, consider fire risks; never flick burning ash onto areas of dry vegetation.

Stay Cultivated.

(b) provide gender-specific content.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by using the link provided in the newsletter or the contact information provided in section 2.

SECTION 4 – HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR DATA?

At Royal Queen Seeds, we will not retain your data for longer than is necessary for the purposes described in this Policy. Different retention periods apply for different types of data; however, the longest period we will normally hold any personal data is 10 years.

4.1 Account information

Data relating to the account remains relevant for as long as the consumer is in possession of an account. Therefore, the data remains documented for as long as the account exists. When our customers delete an account, the associated data will be deleted within a reasonable period of time. Requests regarding the inspection or correction of stored personal data or the deletion of an account can be sent to support@royalqueenseeds.com.

However, we regularly (every month) carry out a relevance check. Registered customers (and their personal information) will be deleted whenever customers do not reply to our request. In addition, our newsletter mailing has an opt-out feature. Consumers can withdraw their consent by using this opt-out feature.

SECTION 5 – COOKIES

Cookies are small information files that notify your computer of previous interactions with our website. These cookies are stored on your hard drive, not on our website. Essentially, when you use our website, your computer displays its cookies to us, informing our site that you have visited before. This allows our website to function more quickly and remember aspects related to your previous visits (such as your username), making your experience more convenient. At Royal Queen Seeds, we use two types of cookies: functional and analytical.

5.1 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies are used to enhance your online experience. Among other things, these cookies track what is added to your shopping cart. The use of these cookies does not require prior authorization.

5.2 Analytical Cookies

Analytical cookies are used for research and market analysis. The data collected with these analytical cookies is anonymous, making it unusable for third parties. The use of these cookies does not require prior authorization.

SECTION 5 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Third-party services are required to conduct transactions and provide our services. In general, the third-party providers we use will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to enable them to perform the services they provide to us.

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies regarding the information we must provide to them for your transactions.

We encourage you to read the privacy policies of these providers so that you can understand how these providers will handle your personal information.

In particular, certain suppliers may be located or have facilities located in a different jurisdiction than yours or ours. Therefore, if you choose to proceed with a transaction involving the services of a third party, your information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which that service provider or its facilities are located.

Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Service of our website.

Web analytics service (anonymous data)

On this website we have integrated an element of a web analytics service (with anonymisation functionality). Web analytics can be defined as the gathering, processing and analysis of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. An analytics service collects, among other things, data about which website a person came from (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages they visited or how often and for how long they visited a sub-page. Web analytics is mainly used for website optimisation and for a cost–benefit analysis of internet advertising.

Courier service

To complete deliveries we use a courier service. This courier service carries out the delivery between our company and the consumer's home. To complete these logistics, the company requires access to the consumer's name and address information.

Mailing service

Royal Queen Seeds uses a third-party mail service provider to send its newsletter. This provider has access to limited account information related to opt-in consent (e.g. email address).

Marketing services

Royal Queen Seeds has the support of a company that specialises in marketing and communication activities. Their access to personal information is very limited and mostly anonymous.

Payment services

At Royal Queen Seeds we use external payment services to handle our transactions (e.g. credit card payments).

SECTION 6 – SECURITY

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry standard best practices to ensure that it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.

If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored using AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional industry standards that are commonly accepted. Information related to the account is protected with a hashing method. This method transforms the information into a generated hash. As a result, confidential information is protected and invisible, even to us. In addition, our databases are exceptionally protected against unauthorised access. For example, access to the database is only possible and permitted via approved IP addresses (e.g. from Royal Queen Seeds headquarters). Other attempts and addresses are rejected at all times.

Furthermore, data is anonymised as much as possible, so it cannot be directly linked to a specific consumer. With this data, however, we may be able to carry out market research and analysis. In addition, the third parties concerned (e.g. mailing service) are examined prior to our collaboration, comply with the GDPR from the EU and receive a processing agreement. Within Royal Queen Seeds, employees are assigned different access permissions. Specific permission provides access only to information that is strictly required to perform a task. Digital security measures are subject to change and must meet high requirements to ensure the safety of online customers. That is why, at Royal Queen Seeds, we appoint a security officer. Regular verification and improvement of security measures (where necessary) are part of the role.

SECTION 7 – CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, so please check back regularly. Changes and clarifications will be effective immediately upon being published on the Website. If we make substantial changes to this policy, we will notify you here that it has been updated so you will know what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances, if any, we use and/or disclose it.

SECTION 8 – YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO:
