Six countries where Marijuana consumption is legal

By -
Mexico’s Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that growing, possessing and smoking marijuana for recreation is legal under the right to freedom. The measure was approved in 4-1 vote on the five-justice panel, backing the argument that smoking marijuana is covered under the right of “free development of personality.”




Here’s a quick look at five countries where Marijuana is legal and what the law states:
Czech Republic


Czech Republic permits possession of up to 15 grams for personal use. Marijuana for medical use on prescription has been legalised since April 2013.

Switzerland
According to Switzerland laws, growing marijuana on private property for personal consumption by adults is legal. However, buying or selling marijuana is a strict criminal offence and punishable by a fine.

North Korea
Surprising as it may seem, but the growth, sale and consumption of marijuana in the communist country is legal and widely unregulated by the government. Just remember it’s North Korea!

Uruguay 
While Uruguayan President Jose Mujica has legalised Cannabis, you need to be over 18 years of age to buy it. The law states that to buy people should be residents of the country, above 18 years of age and must register with the authorities. Besides, there isn’t any law as of yet that specifies the quantity or mandated any rules for selling, transporting or cultivating Marijuana.

Argentina
Possession of Cannabis is illegal, but decriminalised. It is legal for personal consumption in small quantities inside a private property. While consumption for medical reasons is acceptable within a private property, sale, transportation and cultivation is illegal by law.



Jamaica
Growing, selling and consuming Marijuana is illegal. But it’s been decriminalised in 2013 if a person is found with a small amount.

Wiz Khalifa was feeling generous last night. When the paparazzi pulled up on him in West Hollywood while he was getting ready to roll some weed up, he was kind enough to share the wealth. Watch as he reaches in the bag and asks all the cameramen, "You want some?" before handing it out and explaining that it was his own strain. For those not lucky enough to get a free sample straight out of Wiz's bag, his  Khalifa Kush  strain of weed is available in dispensaries.

What if I told you its OK to change your mind based on new information? The knowledge of marijuana’s benefits is on the rise, the  high  rise if you will. Pun intended. More and more research is proving that marijuana isn’t the gateway drug that we are all made to believe it is. In fact, many of the negative things told to us about marijuana have proven to be false according to many recent studies. An increasing number of states in the U.S. are recognizing these new studies and changing history in the process. U.S. states started recognizing marijuana for it’s medicinal purposes, and a few states have now legalized cannabis recreationally. So why are these states legalizing it? What do they know that the rest of the great US of A doesn’t? Or, better yet, why are they willing to take the “risks” associated with legalizing weed? Since legalizing marijuana, Colorado has been faced with a  huge problem …just what will they do with all that extra tax money? Last year lega...

By:Jack Burns Some new cannabis statistics are undoubtedly causing the alcohol industry in the US to shake in their boots. With over half of the country’s states embracing some form of legalized marijuana, with a few states even permitting recreational use, cannabis is poised to affect the alcohol industry at some point. And according to a new study, the beer industry stands to lose billions if marijuana is legalized nationwide. The study states , “Cannabiz Consumer Group’s (C2G) research findings predict that legal marijuana will “canna-balize” 7.1% of revenues from the existing retail beer industry.” Even though the revenue margin may seem small to some, the profit losses are predicted to exceed 2 billion dollars. And while the research attempts to predict what will happen when and if weed is legal nationwide, many alcohol consumers are already making the switch over to marijuana. The study writes, “Twenty-seven percent (27%) of beer drinkers st...
