There are NO places left where it is legal to smoke, thanks to AmeriKKKa'sinsane Drug War and International laws and condemnations. It is even illegal in Holland, but tolerated there. That's the key, where is it tolerated (where you won't get busted)? The answer is many places! There are places in Australia, India, Nepal, Afghanistan, Morocco, etc. In the U.S. I understand California is very laid back about it, especially SF, and places north (the Emerald Triangle, where they grow most of America's best sinsemilla). I'm told Humbolt county is the "phrendliest" place to smokers. The cops there look the other way because without the green economy, the area would be in a bad depression. So there's lots of places where smoking is tolerated. Things are changing at last in Europe! Several countries have decriminalized possession and use of cannabis including the UK, Portugal and Belgium. In fact in most of western Europe you're only likely to get your stash confiscated or a small fine (as long as you don't have a large quantity). Of course selling cannabis is still very illegal. Just another hypocrisy due to be changed. By the way if you can make it to Amsterdam, it will be the "high" point of your life! As far as friendly people goes, they seem to be everywhere except big cities. But I've always found that the poorest people are usually friendliest cause as Janis sang "When you ain't got nothing, you ain't got nothing to lose." I guess most hippies qualify. Of the places I've traveled, I'd have to say that the New Zealanders and Balinese are the most friendly people I've met. They go way out of their way for strangers. http://www.hippy.com/php/article-67.html

Correction: Marijuana, Hemp & Hash plus magic Mushrooms & other mystic Herbs, Roots & soft drugs (does not include Ecstasy nor Opium) ARE LEGAL IN HOLLAND but tolerated: a citizen can have up to 3 home grown plants (or maybe 5) for personal consumption, but the limit for licensed domestic commercial purposes is much higher. I think the first Amsterdam coffeeshop was opened in the year 1975, currently known as The Bulldog (chain of coffeeshops). Everywhere else in the world, it is prohibited. However, they are widely available in my countries such as USA, Jamaica & Latin America, Morocco, Nigeria, East Africa, Egypt, Lebanon, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan (these 3 countries are famous for opium), Thailand and others.

Um u forgot Mexico, which recently made it ok to have small amounts of any drug (heroin, crack, weed ,etc) Its funny. You would think that people do this stuff anyways in Mexico. The reality is that adults prefer cocaine and teens like to do X (as well as coke) in Mexico. But the decriminalization of drugs does lower its consumption. You can buy handfuls of wee over there. Most of the time 5-10 dollars of marijuana will get you handfuls of it. If you try to buy weed to smoke (not sell) no one will weight it. They just hand u a big bag or as much as they can. Weed is so common over there. If you try to give some one free weed over there, no one will take it because they can find their own. The supply is high but the demand is low. All the times I have been to Mexico, I have never seen anyone smoking weed. Users are looked down upon so Id say its use is very low. Legalizing weed in the US would mean that u would be able to get it from almost anyone and anywhere (at school, someone from McDonald's, at the theaters, etc. Sooner or later users would get sick of it because there would be an abundance of it and the prices would drop tremendously. People always want what they cant have and if weed is something that they can have legally, then people wont want it as much anymore.

Many countries are very "tolerant" allowing the use of cannabis in one's home, some even allowing the user to grow their own for personnal use. The line of demarcation between personnal use and illegal trafficking is made when one is seen as selling for profit, trafficking large quantities, or growing more than one would reasonably need for personnal use. This view and approach is held in particular by holland, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Jamaica, various other island nations, and some central american countries. I feel many of these countries and others would in fact be more liberal on these issues if they did not have to concern themselves with trade and marketing with the U.S.A.. Perhaps some are even concerned that if they maintained more democratic views towards the use of cannabis that the U.S. may threaten sanctions, embargos, and various other threats and tactics to force the country to comply with the US governments ideals of a corporate run capitalistic society that cannot afford to have it's citizens sit back and think a little for themselves. I feel this government would not condone any group, religion, or practice that encourages people to slow down, live, feel, and think for themselves as opposed to run, run , run and work, work , work . Let's not be slaves any longer. Let's not be controlled by politicians and businessmen running a government like it's a machine to make money with. We are living humans with heart and souls. We should now take our right to begin living as such on a global level. Let's slow down to breathe the air, feel our heart's beating with life, and get together to make peace happen.

I don't appreciate the "subtle" off spelling of America. The United States is one of the most diverse countries. Besides, I fail to see how that has anything to do with marijuana not being legal here. Anyway, America is not responsible for any other country's decisions regarding cannabis. And you said yourself that not all places here are so conservative. I myself can vouch for California. Heck! I grow pot in my own backyard!

I'm in the air force and i can tell you that in south Korea marijuana use is punished by tens of years in a government jail. Korean jails are no joke. Also, having traveled to japan, i can inform that it is widely discriminated against there. Other than that, i have absolutely no idea where its okay to smoke, but I'mheaded to Germany next, so we'll see about that Amsterdam myth. I'm looking for a tolerant place to retire so if anybody has any hints, hit me at jayznknight@yahoo.com

Marijuana, Hash, and Mushrooms are in fact legal in The Netherlands. Just about every other drug is tolerated there as well, but marijuana, hash, and mushrooms are definitely 100% legal.

Our gov. would not know a good thing if it bit them in the ass . It has now been proved that marijuana does not cause lung cancer, even with heavy use . Now what are they affraid of . Nothing except they are already making money of marijuana. The CIA sellsit to the drug dealers (undercover of course), they arrest the ones who are not getting it from them, and then lock them away. They make more money this way. They don't care about us , they only want more money. Be smart - just start sending them your whole paycheck each week . It will save time .... they end up with it anyway.
