Cannabis Tourists May Visit Grows, Sample Buds
McKINLEYVILLE – Come this fall, tourists and curious locals may be able to hop in a van, visit local cannabis farms, purchase primo bud and soak up Humboldt County’s multi-generational marijuana culture during day-long tours.
McKinleyville entrepreneur Matt Kurth is launching Humboldt Cannabis Tours, which promises “to provide the most fun, educational and authentic cannabis experience available.”
“It’s like wine tours, but cannabis,” Kurth said.
Tourists will be able to see how Humboldt County’s No. 1 cash crop is grown and will have an opportunity to sample the wares.
But before the THC-infused agri-tourism can begin, Kurth needs to obtain a special permit from the Humboldt County Planning Commission, which is tentatively scheduled to consider the matter sometime in August. If the permit is approved, Kurth will then need to obtain a transportation permit from the state to operate the tour van.

The purpose of their grow house wedding was more of a visual support for Nevada’s new marijuana laws, rather than them pledging their undying love for getting high.
