Places Pot People Should Avoid Around The World

The article was more than a little disturbing. I always suspected most of it but didn’t really know for sure or had given it much thought. Those places for me would probably be the last places on earth I would ever go anyway, even before reading the article.

You know having read all this greatly intensifies my paranoid feelings about being on a State Medical Marijuana Registry even here in the U.S. even in a Progressive Forward Thinking State like the State of Oregon. I know the State Registry is supposed to be locked up and information given to LEO is on a Yes or No basis, but I just don't trust the U.S. Federal Government at all, never have, never will.
 
Now that the paranoid hairs are standing up on the back of my neck has anyone besides myself given the thought of being on a State Medical Marijuana Registry more than a little unnerving?

I’m curious to know what others thoughts are on the subject of "being on a State Registry" where the Fed “the man” if he really wants can and will come get you at anytime if they want, and they do Want?
 
They say Tourism is the best source of cash flow for Florida, but I bet it is the courts and jails that take in the most money.

Unfortunately I have experienced the jail AND prison system in Florida as a younger man 16 sumthin' years ago. Pulled over in Orlando with 10 pounds of ganja, a bit over 2500 pills and an unloaded pistol under my seat. Didn't use a blinker for a lane change as a cop was hauling ass up behind me so I moved to let him by.... pulled me instead for no blinker use.
I can tell you from years back then it was always said that the penal system is the biggest cash draw for the state. Did 3 1/2 years on that bid and the system and back then I heard jails made about 98 dollars a day per inmate to house 'em.
Yeh Roseman, between the jails, prisons and probation they are raking it in hand over foot!!! I even heard Disney tried to get into the Prison system business when the correctional facilities were talking about going all private instead of state run.
Knock on wood it has been MANY years since being near such a place now!! knock-knock!!!!

And this little article has now changed some travel plans as well. Looks like Indonesia is off the list next year! Still gonna' hit Japan up though, just will be a loooooong week! lol
 
Does anyone know anything about Fiji???

im from Indonesia, the laws concerning drugs here are fatal.and cannabis is considered kategori 1 drugs in Indonesia(same as coccaine,******,******* etc etc..)joint paper(the paper u use to roll a joint) can get 3 months in jail!..
a joint can get you up to 5-10 years max!!, distribution = death penalty.
it sucks i know, i fuckin live in this country.many of my friends from high school are in jail.

BUT..most of the government officials/police here are corrupt, so use this oppurtunity. get a lawyer and a shitload of cash. DO NOT inform/tell the media, just be quiet and pay the one's that needs to be payed.

sometimes i laugh, sometimes i want to cry, but this is just how it is.

ps: im sorry for my bad english and grammar.

:hippy:

Nice info. I lived one of the place mentioned above. It's not really strict out here but if you get caught then your doomed. Hehe. The thing I like in my place is it's so abundant and very cheap. A 1/4 kilo could cost around 20-30$.
 
Here is an article from PencilMethod.com. Even our "safe havens" are at risk. I hope this does not pass or I'll have to cancel my annual Cannabis Cup trip.
Thanks for the info though. Italy huh?

SO much for Holland's tolerant reputation.

Fed up with foreigners flocking into their country to buy drugs, the Dutch are considering a law to turn their famous cannabis-vending "coffee shops" into private clubs open only to locals.

Under the proposed legislation, only those with a wietpassen, or weed pass, will be allowed to buy drugs. Those with foreign passports will not be let in.

Coffee shop owners are fighting the bill, claiming their foreign customers boost the Dutch economy. Last year more than 1.4 million "drug tourists" visited the city of Maastricht alone.

Opponents of the legislation have appealed to the European Court of Justice on the grounds that it is illegal, under European Union law, to discriminate against purchasers according to nationality. However, the EU has endorsed the ban on foreigners, ruling that drugs are not subject to the same rules as legal goods.

The government complains that "narco-tourists" are a nuisance and a magnet for criminals. It advocates turning the coffee shops into "private clubs for adult residents of The Netherlands on presentation of a pass".

Officials in Amsterdam, which plays host to most of the foreign visitors, have objected to the ban but the weed pass, says the Security and Justice Ministry, will be introduced nationwide.

In Maastricht, where 70 per cent of cannabis sales – about $13.5 million worth – are made to foreigners, 14 coffee shops are fiercely resisting the proposed ban. "If this law comes into effect, we will lose money and jobs," said Marc Josemans, owner of the Easy Going cafe and a vociferous opponent of the legislation.

"Foreigners will be obliged to look for their grass on the street. It is because of the prohibitionist policies of other countries that we have all of these problems here in Holland."

There is little tolerance for that argument in the town hall. "There are too many foreign customers," said Joep Delsing, spokesman for the Mayor of Maastricht, who has been trying to stop drug sales to foreigners since 2005.

"They block streets in the city centre, they don't respect parking rules, they are noisy and, when they go from one coffee shop to another, they urinate and vomit in the street."

Possession of small quantities of soft drugs has been tolerated since the 1970s and coffee shop customers can buy up to 5g.

However, cannabis cultivation and the sale of it in bulk are illegal and the black market business controlled by organised crime is said to be worth an estimated $2.7 billion a year.

The country's tolerance of drugs seems to be waning. Stricter licensing rules during the past decade have reduced the number of licensed premises from 1200 to fewer than 700.

In Maastricht, besides banning foreigners, there is also talk of moving half of the coffee shops to the edge of the city to improve public safety in the town centre
