Information
has glosseng: Drug tourism is travel for the purpose of obtaining or using drugs for personal use that are unavailable or illegal in ones home jurisdiction. Drug tourism can be also defined as the phenomenon by which ones travel experience involves the consumption and usage of drugs that are considered to be illegal or illegitimate in either the visited destination or the tourist’s country of origin. This would include crossing a national border to obtain drugs over the counter that are not sold in ones own country, or traveling to another country in order to obtain or use narcotics that are illegal in ones own country, or even traveling from one U.S. state to another in order to buy alcohol or tobacco more easily. Drug tourism to other countries is also popular among college students in the United States younger than 21 who are not yet of the legal drinking age for alcohol purchasing and consumption. Empirical studies show that drug tourism is heterogeneous and might involve either the pursuit of mere pleasure and escapism or a quest for profound and meaningful experiences through the consumption of drugs.

Men reist dan naar de eerste plek om daar drugs te gebruiken of om een voorraad in te slaan. Aangezien de manier waarop men met drugs omgaat per land of streek sterk kan verschillen, doet zich in de Europese Unie veel drugstoerisme voor. Men spreekt in dit verband vaak van de aanzuigende werking.
