Americans buying prescription drugs in Canada?[edit]
This is currently not in the article, and if the article is meant to be in the "crimes" section, this certainly does not apply. However, I was just wondering whether the term "drug tourism" would also include this phenomenon, as this *does* include drugs (of a different kind, I admit); it involves tourism (at least it crosses the border, and the people doing the crossing are the consumers themselves), and in some sense, the drugs they buy (generic versions of the prescription drug) are actually illegal in U.S. due to patent laws. And, overall, speaking as a John Q. Public, I think this is the most predominant form of "drug tourism" in the North America.
So, should this be included? novakyu (talk) 03:49, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
I've observed this in Europe too. The prices of some drugs differ vastly even within the eurozone. Some elderly people travel specifically to obtain a yearly supply of medications. RossenV (talk) 16:44, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
I was reading on the other page that
Nimbin[edit]

Jamaica[edit]
That's funny that Jamaica isn't even mentioned in this article, being probably the most visited drug destiny along with Amsterdam. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.217.96.175 (talk) 06:06, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
[edit]
While the debate rages on regarding whether cannabis is addictive (though one could argue that people being driven to commit illegal acts or travel great distances in order to consume cannabis recreationally - as opposed to medically - could be seen as supporting one side of the argument), the fact "drugs tourism" in the context of this article does touch on travelling to obtain alcohol (verified addictive) and tobacco (ditto), have any studies been done to look at how much a role - if any - addictions play in driving drugs tourism? 70.72.211.35 (talk) 16:53, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
