Resumen

El cannaturismo es un fenómeno que está emergiendo a raíz de la legalización de la marihuana en varios estados de los Estados Unidos, y en Canadá. En México se aprobó un proyecto de ley para legalizar esta droga para consumo recreativo pero existen muchas preocupaciones sobre sus posibles efectos en la sociedad. Con base en una revisión de literatura y estadísticas oficiales, este artículo examina las implicaciones de la legalización de esta droga para la sociedad, en general, y la industria turística en particular. Se identificó el surgimiento de una variada y dinámica oferta cannaturística, que, de implementarse de manera regulada, puede diversificar la oferta turística de los destinos mexicanos. También se encontró que los impactos de la legalización de la marihuana tienden a ser mayormente positivos y pueden contribuir a aliviar problemáticas económicas y sociales en destinos turísticos. Se discuten las posibles implicaciones de la legalización de esta droga para México.
