Based on Cannabis tolerance, where would you move?
|
|
Jamaica-Illegal: Cultivation, retail and consumption is illegal. However this is often overlooked and cannabis is sold openly.
Canada-Illegal: Cannabis is a schedule II drug in Canada for amounts larger than 3kg. Amounts smaller than 3kg are classified as Schedule VII, and smaller than 30g as Schedule VIII. It is generally tolerated in small amounts for most of Canada (3 grams). It is legal for medicinal use with a federal permit.
In January 2003, an Ontario court ruled simple possession laws banning cannabis unconstitutional, although it is unclear what the long term implications of this might be.
In 2007, a Toronto judge ruled that Canada's pot possession laws are unconstitutional after a man argued the country's medicinal marijuana regulations are flawed.
Netherlands Legal/Illegal The Dutch politics reasoned that soft drugs do not have physically addictive qualities, and are not more harmful than, say, alcohol. Therefore, the Netherlands allows limited forms of possession and trade in soft-drugs.
One is allowed to purchase and possess up to five grams of cannabis or hashish. Possessing more is interpreted as intent to trade the larger quantities, which is illegal. Only specially permitted “coffee shops” are allowed to sell soft drugs, and never more than five grams per person, per day. One needs to be 18 or over to access a coffee shop.
Smoking in public is technically allowed, however in many places prohibited by local regulation, limiting consumption to coffee shops, one's home, or a remote corner of a park.
Coffee shops are allowed to sell cannabis and hashish (and pay taxes on it), but can not legally buy stock. Also referred to as the ‘backdoor problem.’ Coffee shops have very strict rules to live by and are regularly checked by local authorities. Two strikes is out.
Other types of sales is illegal, maximum offence for large scale trade is 4 years in prison.
Australia Illegal (Decriminalized) Certain regions of Australia have decriminalized marijuana possession. In Tasmania, Victoria and Queensland one can be simply ticketed for up to 50 grams. If found in possession with intent to supply, convictions apply.
In the Australian Capital Territory, possession of up to 25 grams, or two plants, is not a criminal offence but carries a $100 fine. In South Australia possession of small quantities of cannabis is decriminalised attracting fines similar to a parking ticket. However, penalties for cultivation of marijuana have become harsher since the widespread advent of large scale indoor crops in South Australia. There is much confusion on the subject, with many people believing that possession of a certain amount is legal. In Western Australia, possession of up to two plants is accepted for private use, excess of the latter can face fines of over $150. In New South Wales and Tasmania, cannabis use is illegal and attracts fines. In Queensland it is a criminal offence to be in possession of any amount of cannabis, people charged must face court and can be convicted. Possession of cannabis or any schedule 1 or 2 drug specified in the Drugs Misuse Regulation 1987 carries a maximum prison sentence of 15 years in Queensland, however jail terms for minor possessions are very rare. Possession of smoking utensils or anything used to smoke cannabis is also a criminal offence in Queensland.
Northern California-Illegal/Tolerated: Cannabis is believed to be the single largest cash crop in California, and the economies of large areas of northern California (where it is, at worst, tolerated) are dominated by cannabis cultivation.

It'd have to be Oz for me too.
Save the plane trip
The actual penalties for possession aren't as harsh as Jamaica can be.
It's far warmer in most parts than Canada and The Netherlands.
If the Netherlands were on the Tropic of Capricorn, I'd move there though.
But then Northern Cali has always sounded like a pretty laid back place. Is that true?
