World Map of Countries where Marijuana is Legal

great find, thats wierd though, i would of thought a lot more of the world would have marijuana legalized...... like africa and the middle east and india etc.

 

Whoa, cool. I didn't know it was legal in Spain. I might be going there next year too.

 

i think its more or less from US pressure why it isnt legal

 

Peer pressure.

I didn't think that any part of South America would have criminalized cannabis...

+rep to the OP if I can

 

+rep.. pretty sweet map.

 

God damnit! If the liberals had won the last election that big huge country above the US would be light blue!

No chance now with Dion.

 

that lil grey dot south of china is nepal it is Legal there

 

Hahahaha
"Probably Illegal"

 

It's decriminalized in New York? Since when?

 

Decriminilized means the punishment is not as harsh as in other states within the country.

For example, I live in Ohio, and possession of less than 100 grams of marijauna is only a minor misdemeanor.

100 grams is a lot.

 

ill second that pete... cause last i checked

 

Nah, acording to norml its decriminalized, ever since i first checked like 2 years ago. I've never had a run in with the cops for weed, but acording to the website its like not even a misdemeanor to have less than 25 grams, like equal to a parking ticket or something.

 

people seem to get confused with the term "decriminalized" until they here a real defenition of it. its pretty simple.

its still not legal, but its not a criminal offense, just like a parking ticket isnt a criminal offense. that means its just a fine (under a certain amount of weed, varying per place) and doesnt go on any criminal record.

 

damn and im going to panama soon, and its illegal... bummer.

 

have you guys noticed how blue south america already is?

\o/

i never figured it out why they made it illegal in the first place, its absurd

 

You know what, now that you say that I realize you're right. Because if you get caught with less than an Oz of pot here you only get a citation, it isn't even a misdemeanor.


shit, I'm glad I live in NY now.
