The Ununited States of America
The USA map needs lines at state borders to remind us that the state border itself is a federal thing and one can definitely be pinched by the wrong cop at the wrong time.
…or so I read. Check it out for yourself. It’s a fun game!
I don’t know why you got downvoted, but I know someone who recently got a pretty big ticket for a few grams of weed at a border checkpoint between two completely legal states, so you are correct.
Legal, but often enforced.
I love it!
Lol wut??
brazil can probably be pink instead of red if you are not poor or not black
Given that weed is now legal for medicinal use, there’s been a lot less enforcement here in NZ.
Mostly, at the outset cops have no way of knowing if you have a prescription or not, and asking if it’s a suitable prescription is a pretty big no-no.
Thailand can be taken off this list. New conservative govt made it illegal again.
Is Antarctica really “unknown”? The closest there is to antarctic law would be international treaties and they are mostly about nuclear weapons and oil drilling.
I feel like if you are willing to live in a frozen hellscape you should be able to smoke whatever you want
I mean it would probably be such a pain in the ass to ship weed down there I doubt anyone who works there would bother.
Since there isn’t a legal structure it falls in the default ‘unlnown’ category because legality doesn’t apply.
From what I’ve heard in the past the laws scientists follow are enforced administratively by their country. So while scientists for X country could smoke, an American scientist would be sent home for it. (But not charged with a crime)
Facilities operate under the flag of whatever country built them. Of course it’s complicated because there’s also no police there, so everything’s legal unless somebody wants to report it. Even then they would have problems because they wouldn’t be any actual evidence. At least not without sending an investigation team that to the Antarctic which they’re unlikely to do.
Realistically I think it probably exists in a sort of gray zone which operates mostly on a don’t commit any crime too bad rule. Don’t be murdering people and you’ll probably be okay doing whatever. After all, a certain amount of leniency is required because the world does not have an overabundance of people willing to live in Antarctica.
Fucking Canberra has it but not the rest of us
Cannabiserra
Give the capital some love ya dogs
Love? It’s full of politicians and roundabouts.
Politicians who are legalising it not criticising it
Latam should be pink everywhere, where is enforced only on poor and black people.
Thailand is going backwards and what are the two micronations in the Pacific
maybe looks like two US territories? Guam and Mariana Islands? assuming the red dot between them and Philippines is Palau
Thanks, interesting.
tfw México has more freedom than tejas
the US is not legal in any sense in any state just ask Flip Flop Joe
here we prop up corporate cannabis and continue to erode consumer protections like everything else we do
we say one thing in public to other countries but behind closed doors the US has degraded to militarized police control where when one is arrested the cops control the narrative along with the judges not common law
cannabis is legal for the corporations to trade and profit off of and there are no protections for consumers just empty promises
the US is not legal in any sense in any state…
Can you elaborate? Because I have purchased legally sold cannabis up the East coast of the USA. Both recreationally and medical cannabis. Do you mean on a federal level?
I also own, a medical cannabis card issued to me by the state I live in.
I’m also unsure about your corporation comments. Most dispensaries are owned by mom and pops or startups. Do, do you live in the USA? Just curious.
work in the industry and have for years and with legal experts on this matter in different states and am not the first generation in the family to do so and no this does not make me an expert but an observer throughout the years
most mom and pop dispensaries are usually funded by corporate cannabis funds either by loans or investments and more times than not eventually bought out
yes you may have bought products from a legal dispensary but if you get pulled by the wrong cop and there are more of them than good ones you could face five years or more for simple possession or just get a slap on the wrist even in legal states
all depends on the cops and the judges and what they say the story is, there are no lab tests done for most court cases, and terry stops are on the rise were reasonable suspicion is not needed to pull over and toss the contents of the vehicles
not just the federal illegality of it but the states not coming together on laws both with cannabis and other laws that touch the laws making cannabis illegal such as Roe v. Wade falling
Biden promising then flip flopping on cannabis and then him and his party not properly defending women’s rights have opened a huge rift allowing for more extortion of the US citizens and not much legal ground is left to defend one’s self
No, when you say that cannabis is not legal in the USA in any state in any sense…
What exactly do you mean by that? I just gave you numerous examples of the legality of cannabis in some states. I literally have a state issued ID to have and consume marijuana. How do you justify your statement with the facts I have given you?
mean there is nothing protecting your right to your state issued ID to have and consume cannabis products
have something all day long but whether your right to do is protected is altogether a different story
we are now dealing with this with the drug mifepristone
a state may allow you to have it but is the right to carry that medication protected if you go elsewhere in the “United States” or just elsewhere in the state you are in
some cities are now half medical and/or recreational and the other half illegal and/or medicinal
just like with cannabis that now has become a questionable scenario and a very fractured and confusing place to navigate legally
Flip Flop Joe?
Fuck me you coulda dug deeper and used waffle or something better. Flip Flop Joe just sounds like a dude who’s bringing the party with him.
I’d have gone with Sloppy Joe, if you’re going the food route.
Waffling was the term used before and everyone loved Waffles.
Sloppy Joe is actually good though
They are trying to evoke John Kerry… I guess.
I am not from the US and understand how the US law works better than you do
This is not the first time I’ve seen one of your comments at the dead bottom, downvoted into oblivion. Maybe it’s time to reevaluate some of your opinions? It really doesn’t help that you write with the clarity of a recent stroke victim.
He’s not wrong though. For example in VA it’s legal but you can’t buy it because of administrative stuff. In AZ they decided to rename it so it wasn’t technically covered by the ballot measure to legalize it. That’s just two that I’m aware of. So it’s not what it looks like from the outside at all. And God help you if you try to get high in a national park or BLM land and get found by a federal police officer. (That’s something like half the land west of the Mississippi River and it’s not signposted.)
It’s extremely legal here in California so the initial extreme blanket statement is immediately disproven. Everything that follows is not worth reading.
Light up in front of a Yosemite Park Ranger. See what happens.
Sure, and I’ll share with them, and ask how long they’re visiting San Francisco for
Right and you’re the king of England too.
Let’s not make fun of people who struggle to communicate.
Make fun of the bullshit they’re struggling to communicate.
It’s illegal in Jamaica?!
They recently decimalized it and legalized medical use. Getting a medical card involves filling out a form self proclaiming a need and paying a $15 filing fee. You can do this in the dispensary while they are bagging up your weed and psychedelic mushrooms.
Yup. But, the thing about laws in the third world is that they only kind-of exist.
They exist for sure if you’re a tourist. You’re either a payday for a local cop or an example to be trotted out as proof they enforce those laws. The latter is so a higher up can divert DEA funding into their bank account.
Obviously that’s not every developing country, maybe not even most. But unless you’re very familiar with the country and area, it’s not a risk you should take.
Exactly. Whether you’re in the kind-of or kind-of-not has everything to do with bribes and/or local connections. And how many other people are also breaking that particular law, like in Jamaica’s case. Sometimes this is bad, sometimes this is paradoxically helpful. Technically homeless people in the third world can often build a permanent house anyway, for example.
It also varies significantly by level of urbanness, with cities being the most formally run. Even backwoods first world will have things going on that would never fly in the cities.
What’s with the tiny blue dot in Australia
That appears to be the Australian Capital Territory. Being from the US, I’m going to assume Canberra has a separate jurisdiction from surrounding states, like Washington DC
Good call, I found this
On 25 September 2019, the Australian Capital Territory passed a bill allowing for possession and growth of small amounts of cannabis for personal use as of 31 January 2020, although the laws conflict with federal laws that prohibit recreational use of cannabis and the supply of cannabis and cannabis seeds are not allowed under the changes.[5]

Out of date
Since germany is blue on the map and its only legal here from today on, i dont think it is an old, out of date map. But maybe the information for some Other country is just wrong?
US is wrong for a good amount of states I believe
Why does the KKKeast hate a plant so much?
China’s experience with opium has a lot to do with views on drugs in Asia.
