Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Lapa neighbourhood safe in Rio?

What is samba culture and its relationship to cannabis in Rio?
Samba originated in communities with deep African-Brazilian roots where cannabis use has a long informal history. Contemporary samba culture in Lapa is not specifically associated with cannabis, but the neighbourhood free-spirited atmosphere has historically been tolerant.
