The Potlandia Experience
We’ve all heard of the show Portlandia, which has helped solidify Portland’s reputation of being a generally weird city for generally weird people to live. But Portland is known for more than just its oddities it’s known for its pot.
The Potlandia Experience is a marijuana tour run by Great Oregon Tours. This is a perfect tour for those wishing to learn about cannabis culture in Oregon’s most popular city. Your tour guides are experts in tourism and have definitely done their research with growers, dispensaries, and the beautiful bud itself. You’ll learn the difference between indica and sativa strains of marijuana, as well as the two main components: THC and CBD. So climb aboard the Pot Tour Bus and prepare for an education, entertaining trip to some of Portland’s prime dispensaries, one seriously awesome distillery, and food carts (because what’s weed without the munchies?).
