About
TSTG Enterprises and The Stoner’s Travel Guide is a joint effort between three best buds from Wisconsin.
The Stoner’s Travel Guide is both a series of books, AND an online guide to all kinds of fun places and events in the USA. In 2025, we are focusing on Wisconsin, where the authors are from.
Our website features places of interest for stoners, ranging from businesses, gift shops, and dispensaries, to caves, museums, art galleries, and more. If you have a business, place, or event you want to tell stoners about, we cordially invite you to post a free listing!
