Can someone please tell me what countries allready have legalized pot? I know about Amsterdam and Canada. I know in Jamaica it is illegal but it is not so strict there. What about Austrailia and New Zealand. When i get out of high school i plan on living in one of those countries for a year. I need to live in a pot legal country.
it's legal in denmark i think, they have coffee shops there!
is it illegal in antartica???
The population in Anarctica is 0. It doesnt really matter if it is legal or not cause the only people that go there are scientists only.
I hope you realize AMSTERDAM aint a countryQuote:

Belgium is pretty much cool too, they are only strict about crossing the border with the shit. Friend a mine only had 5 grams or so (he already ate the shrooms) police made him get naked and squat. He had to stay for 3 days. Dunno the ins and outs to much. Just don't bloody well cross any borders with the shit.
Europe is pretty much focused on the hard drugs.
It is NOT legal in Denmark, and there are no "coffeeshops" that are permitted to legally serve it. There is an area called Christiana that has been a self-declared "country" for over thirty years where pot, hash, and other psychedelic substances, such as psylosyben mushrooms, are openly sold and consumed. I was there in the late 1990's. I believe that the Danish government is trying to shut it down to build housing developments and/or industry. The police have already conducted several raids over the past few years and dismantled some of the dealers' shops.Quote:

So now if you get caught with some personal you dont go to jail like you used to. The cops now have the option to make a judgement call according to your past record and current situation. They can confiscate, confiscate and fine, or confiscate and charge you. Medical Pot is legal though and you need a Dr to script it for you. After that you can grow 3 plants and hold a few ounces at home.
Our government is actively trying to grow some pot in abandoned mines and has started to recruit growers to grow some med buds for them.
They are still going after dealers and growers hardcore. At the same time as legalizing it for medical reasons they also boosted their campaigns agains growers with new imaging equipment, hellicopters,dogs, and hydro narcs.
What confuses a lot of ppl is the action taken last year . The courts were refusing to process any new pot related charges while our supreme court decided if it was unconstitutional to make you a criminal for simple weed. So while that happened cops refused to process anyone to avoid wasting their time and inviting lawsuits. It was a kind of limbo while the courts deliberated. During that time the world thought we were legal because everyone lit up their spliffs everywhere.
My town kept confiscating and taking names and processed those ppl once the limbo was over.
Now it is a relaxed environment but by no means legal.
Yes i know amsterdam is not a country. Pot isnt legal in all of the netherlands like in amsterdam (as far as i know) so i just used amsterdam as an expample.
It isnt legal in Australia but some states have decriminilized it making it a mister meaner fine. These states include Western Australia, Australian Capital territory and South Australia and I think Northern territory as well.
Here (Victoria Australia) anything over 20 grams from memory is classed as dealing and they class each seed in your posession as a plant so if you have 2000 seeds they will charge you with having 2000 plants in your posession (Ouch)
There were also coffee shops in the city of Utrecht (Netherlands), if I remember correctly. It was a short train ride from Amsterdam.Quote:

well just smoke it, what are they going to do if every one is doing it? looks at the united states (1930s-2005)... oh yeah they might just freak out with out just cause.
Cennar is right. It's legal everywhere, so long as you don't get caught. Fuck the law.
then switzerland....the country with the white and red flag
And yea, I know about that shit. I mean, in hasburry people smoked blunts on the sidewalk and got not a strange eye back in the 70s and early 80s
Another place where it is pretty much tolerated by the authorities is the town of Nimbin, New South Wales, Australia. Apparently they even have an annual festival called Mardi Grass.
i once spoke to an australian man and he was a big smoker and he was telling me if i ever went there to go to Nimbin and find grandma's place or somthing.....he was wasted but i heard that its a good place to go from a few people now...
Arn't all drugs decriminalized in portugal?

$26-$35 a pill. What the fuck are they, rockets!Quote:
Ecstasy, found most often in the city's dance clubs, sells for between $26 and $35 for one pill. LSD microdots can go for only two dollars per hit, while speed is around $33 for a gram. Common spots to buy include Mariatorget, Fridhemsplan and Station. While many said soft drugs were also easy to get at the central subway station, Kevin warned against it.
I would never pay that, their about £2.50 here.
it isnt legal in canada and wont be legal till a long while
It is legal on the open Ocean,
there was a yacht of the coast of England selling Alcohol VAT free,
because it is classed as International waters 3 miles out it was all legal,
until the authorities found away to do them,
could work with weed, if anyone wants to be the first genie pig.
heeeeeeyy that sounds like a great idea but id still go off the coast of any liberal country i wouldnt even dare to do it off the coast of the US
I think cannabis seeds are perfectly legal in Portugal and most other countries. It is the growing part which is probably not allowed.Quote:

I must refute that. I think in at least 5-10 years it may be legal and fully regulated. We'll see. However, they just might not US "drug tourists" in. lol. The real problem is pressure coming from the US. The US is the only obstacle affecting Canadian legalization. If the US was enlightened as Canada, both countries would be very good and effective drug policies.Quote:
