LEGAL CITIES/COUNTRIES ?

[Ja6on]

Hi, we all know pot is legal in Amsterdam, does anyone know where else it is legal? I would like to go live someplace tropical for a couple months this winter and would like a legal experience :-) I was looking at Goa India which I figure is at least lenient... But I would like more travel options if possible.

Thanks much, Jason

Umm, I think you're pretty much limited to the Netherlands and Antarctica, and few other places only if you have a valid medical condition. As far as I know, the only places where it is well tolerated are Canada, parts of western Europe, some Latin American and Caribbean countries (Colombia, Peru, Jamaica, etc. although I'm not 100% sure about those examples) and a little town in Australia called Nimbin.

I went to Peru 8 years ago and say a BIG MJ plant on the side of the road growing just out side of the city. At least I thought that was what is was I was only 14 and had never really seen one before, though I had smoked.

Switzerland. Not exactly tropical, but pretty good shit, easy for foreigners to get, just the shops are lower key.

Its not legal, but tolerated in Canada, which someone already mentioned. But Canada kicks ass, you can smoke in a couple coffee shops, which also sell pipes and things. And in almost any park you can find someone selling. Id suggest Vancouver BC.. good times

Hi Ja6on, nice to know pot is legal in amsterdam.
EXCEPT IT'S NOT.
Jesus, pot is ILLEGAL EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD.
Just because it is tolerated by the police in holland and a blind eye is turned does not mean suddenly its legal, you can still be arrested and prosecuted for it, be it selling, having just bought or smoking it, just the chances are extremely low because of the facts that:
Large amounts of people do it, can they arrest everyone? no.
Large amounts of revenue are generated through it, be they via tourism, taxes on shops and all the other ways governments make money.
There are loads more reasons, but its 2:30am and I'm too lazy to think of them.

In answer to your question, there is nowhere "legal" for you to smoke weed, although prosecution in holland is very unlikely, switzerland your about 60% safe seeing as the german and swiss police don't really care, but the french do.
England is also a reasonably safe place, I live here and grow/smoke/buy and have never been busted, probably because I'm careful but even people I know who have usually just get a finger wag and the smoke gets confiscated.

In Montreal, it ain't legal but it's somewhat tolerated. My friend and I often go downtown and smoke a joint walking around downtown, and we never had a problem. It's great!

I always thought weed was "legal"^^ in Portugal!

Anyway it's very tolerated where I live. The worst I have to deal with are faggots in my classes asking me if I'm high (which I very very often am).

Hey IntrepidS, same city
