Could be Canada, could be California. So many legal places nowadays (and yet very few in Europe :/)

Do these places have actual coffee shops like Amsterdam or only dispensaries? I was surprised how Thailand embraced it. Almost overnight, the touristy places exploded with dispensaries. Yet, there's not the pothead vibe one can see in Amsterdam's coffee shops. And yes, it's intriguing how Europe is so conservative with this. You wonder what they're scared of.

  Thailand repealed the old laws without putting any new ones in place, hence the no-holds-barred overnight explosion. It's a matter of time until they clamp down, although given the perennial machinations of Thai politics, which are even worse than usual right now due to the military junta vs election winner squabble, how long it takes and how strict the new laws will be remain a mystery.

  >You wonder what they're scared of. Getting billions in ganja tax...but at the expense of pissing off the Church? Though Germany seems about to stop giving their money to the dutch, with a potential decriminalisation bill, God's representatives on earth still aren't ok with people just getting on with their own business.

Germany is going to legalize it, so expect for the practice to spread.

  We have yet to see. I'll believe it when I see it.

Minnesota is rapidly rising in pot culture because of the fact that legalization here was at first an accident last year, so every brewery could make THC seltzers and every bar and restaurant with a liquor license could serve them with no regulations basically. When they purposefully legalized it this year the accident driven free market had gotten so big and popular that they grandfathered it all in, and even added a clause allowing liquor stores to sell the hemp products.
