165 Then I Got High · bit of a Rambler

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Hello. My name is Kai, and I am a bit
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: of a rambler. I like to travel, learn and tell stories.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: And today I want to talk about again, Hi yep,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: doing drugs because it comes up all the time, like
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of people ask me that. I'll like a
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: lot of people, and not just people who have never
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: traveled before or it's more common, but even people who
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: have decided to travel or who are actually in the country,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: like all many people in a country, and they'll walk
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: up to me, and I guess I give off that
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: vibe because they're like, hey, man, do you know where
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: I can get some weed? And I don't because I
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: don't smoke, so I'm usually not able to help them.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: But it's a pretty common concern for people. But marijuana
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: is a lot more available than I think a lot
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: of people know, and I thought I would address it
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: because well, I don't smoke weed. I do love psychedelics,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: and I am, like many other funny monkeys of the
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Homo sapien variety, I like to alter my perceptions from
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: time to time, so I just thought I would talk
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: about it because people see, especially US Americans, see the
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: US as an easy place to get weed with not
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: too much risk in a lot of the States, especially
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: since state started decriminalizing it. But it's not it's easier
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: in other countries. And yeah, the answer, the answer is yes,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: can I get high? And can I find drugs in
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: other countries? The answer is unequivocally yes, with about as
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: much trouble as you would have finding those substances in
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the US or less. With weed, it's often less trouble
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: because if you cross the wrong state lines in the
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: United States with some weed, you're going to prison. And
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: then if you cross different state lines it's totally cool.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: It's the US is a strange country. Most other countries
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: have federal laws for substances rather than provincial. But I'll say,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: like especially weed, people are surprised that you can find
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: it everywhere. Like they're like, oh, Amsterdam, right, It's like, yeah, Amsterdam,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: but also China and Germany and every country, every country
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: you're going to. As I mentioned, funny monkeys, US human
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: people like to alter our perceptions. Boy does that not
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: change across international boundaries and where demand goes, supply follows
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: legally or not. You'll be able to find weed and
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: all the other drugs in different places with different levels
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: of legality of course, and I wrongly recommend the legal
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: avenues because the illegal ones just don't seem worth the
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: effort or trouble or legal risk. Why take the same
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: risk if you can avoid risk and achieve the same goal.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about. Weed is the one I
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: get asked about the most, so flat answer. Yes, you
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: can find the drugs everywhere. But since most people ask
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: about weed, and it's so accessible in so many places,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: legally and procedurally, bureaucratically accessible. It's a legal substance in
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: a lot of countries, or decriminalized unenforced decriminalization, which means
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: if they decided to enforce the law, you could get
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: fined without any criminal charges. But if marijuana is decriminalized,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: it's usually not enforced at all. I figure, uh, let's
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: have a little chat about it. And even and like
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: China is super conservative with extremely high penalties for marijuana.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: They're a zero tolerance country. I don't recommend smoking weed
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: in China. So even in a country like China, which
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: is about as strict as it gets, maybe aside from
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: like Singapore, they are very strict countries with drug laws,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: you can still get it. It's just not I don't
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: think it's worth it in some countries, but maybe that's
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: because I don't smoke, so it's not it's not worth No,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: that can't be worth it. Like just finding weed in
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: China because you need it. If you do need it,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: you know what, let's talk about weed in China if
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: you need it, and you're like, I really want to
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: go and teach English in China, but I don't want
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: to risk like getting in trouble for buying weed from somebody. Hey,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: guess what, go live in Una. It's famous because all
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: of the mountains grow wild marijuana and the grandma's used
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: to sell it in public. I don't know if that's
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: still going on or not, but if they're not selling it,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: you can walk up into the mountains and the plants
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: will be surrounding you. You can take it from there,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: still going to be illegal, but I would go that.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I would just live in Kunming or some city in Yunan,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: or probably a mountain town in Yunan seems a lot
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: less risky than going through the city in one of
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: the strictest drug punishment countries in the world. And yeah,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: you can get a job teaching English and Yunan the
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: same that you could in Beijing. The jobs are all
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: around the country. Cambodia, we'd okay, weeds took completely illegal
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: in Cambodia, but I hung out but tons of people
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: smoked weed. It's the same in It's the same. In
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: a lot of countries, drug laws are often unenforced, and
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: especially if the plant is growing wild, it would be
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: insane for the law enforcement officers to run around trying
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: to track everybody down, especially once you're back in your
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: house or back in private property or whatever. So even
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: though it's legal in Cambodia, I hung out with some
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: people who smoked every day, and by that time, I
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: was like, Nope, my brain stops working. My brain stops
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: working when I smoke weed. It just I turn into
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: a rock. My neuron stopped firing, and it takes me
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: thirty seconds to answer a question, and I cannot remember
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: what the last question was. So I'm like, why are
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: they asking me all these non related questions? Turns out
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: my brain just shuts off. But yes, in many countries
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: where it's illegal, North Korea, North Korea, it's I think
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: what it was it Medical weed in North Korea is legal,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: although you know, I doubt you're gonna find a bunch
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: of people puffin in North Korea, but it is technically legal.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I'm just bringing it up because the as long as
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: you know the laws and the realities on the ground,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: it's certainly accessible. You can get weed around the world
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: and it's huge funny monkeys, humans love altering perception. So yeah,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: the market, the market and the supply is there. The
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: demand is also there. Someone actually said in the Lemmy
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: community that they didn't want to travel or begin teaching
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: English because they couldn't get weed as easily as they
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: could in the US, And immediately I was like, wait
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: a minute, you can get it way easier in most
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: other countries, and there's no risk of leaving a roach
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: in your car and then driving through the wrong state
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: and getting in trouble for it. There's tons of places
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: where marijuana is fully recreational, illegal, or much more often decriminalized,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: and also pretty often unenforced. But I kind of want
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: to focus on legal or decriminalized, because there's plenty of
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: places that you can go live very comfortably abroad without
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: being in any risk of violence eating drug laws for
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: smoking weed for lighten up that grass. The short story
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: is that there are fifty eight countries to choose from
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: where weed is fully legal or decriminalized, and if you're
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: in a country where it's decriminalized, it's not going to
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: be enforced. It's extremely I've never heard of it in
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: a country where we'd just decriminalized that someone gets in
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: trouble gets a fine for smoking weed. That it's just
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: not worth it. It's not worth it for the law
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: enforcement for something that's not even a criminal issue to
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: even address. They have other things to do. And in
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: many other countries, unlike the US, the prisons are not
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: for profit, so rounding up people just to put them
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: in prison is not worth it in most countries like
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: it is in the US, where you do get money
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: with the more prisoners you have. So in addition to
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: the fifty eight countries where weed is fully legal or decriminalized,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: there's an additional ten where medical use is authorized, like
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: specifically only medical use, which means that's sixty eight countries,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: so we're about yeah, that's over thirty percent of all
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: the countries in the world, so a third of the
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: countries in the world. If it's really important to you
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: to get legal weed without too much trouble, you can
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: go to almost seventy different countries and that won't be
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: an issue for you. Might as well mention the recreationally
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: totally legal countries first alphabetically. Canada tops the list. It
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: recreational use of weed is legal. Same in Uruguay, same
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: in the Czech Republic, same in Germany, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: South Africa, legal in the shops, you know, and Netherlands
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: and Spain. But if you want to go to any
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: of those places, if any of those countries sound good,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: weed's legal in those places, and then an instant this
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: is where recreational weed is decriminalized, and often medical marijuana
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: is legal. I'll use Thailand as an example. I lived
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: there for a while, and there's so many tourists and
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: expats and immigrants living in Thailand full time that it's
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: worth it for Thailand to codify procedures for things that
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: it wouldn't be worth for if there weren't a lot
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: of tourists. It's not worth implementing a policy for something. Generally,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Thailand is a great country for talking about policy implementation
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: because they have an insane number of people immigrants in
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: their country at any one time. Any year, there's between
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: thirty five and forty million people living in Thailand. That
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: is a massive non local population of a country. Forty
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: million people is more people than like one hundred and
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: sixty countries of the world. They're in the top eightieth percent.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Just the perpetual non locals living in Thailand, that number
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: of people forty million people is higher than eight out
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: of ten countries in the world, out of four out
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: of every five countries. So just the tourist slash immigrant
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: population in Thailand is higher than four out of five
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: countries population across the world. So if there's some part
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: of pop culture or culture outside of Thailand that comes
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: into it, because if it's thirty five to forty million
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: visitors every single year and full time immigrants, it's worth
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: it for the government to address it and make a
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: law about one thing or the other, because there's thirty
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: five million people wondering how they're supposed to interact with
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Thai law with this or that, with gender re assignment surgery,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: like how legal is it with gay marriage or with
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: smoking weed? How illegal are the drugs there. It's not
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: worth it for countries with very low tourism industries, but
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: for someplace like Thailand, where a huge part of their
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: national revenue and population are dissenting our different perspectives on laws.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: It's really important for them to codify a bunch of laws.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: And Thailand is cool, so a lot of their laws
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: are good. Good as in socially progressive and socially popular ideas.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Gay marriage, Yeah, thumbs up. Gender reassignment makes total sense
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: to Thailand. Weed makes sense. They decriminalized it, but recently
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: the health minister restricted we to medical use again. But
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: that's good because we need an example of a country
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: where it's not fully decriminalized but you can still get
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: it for You can still get weed prescription very easily.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: It's not an issue. I mean, once you go to
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: if you go to Thailand and you're hanging out in
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: any of the hostels, in any of the if you're
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: hanging out anywhere, you will see it's not a difficult
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: substance to find. Everyone's going to be smoking around you.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Someone is going to pass you a joint. You can
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: either live in one of the countries where weed's fully
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: recreationally legal or one of these fifty eight countries. Most
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: of them, you can get a medical license for marijuana
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: and Thailand's a great example of that. They all function
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: roughly the same way on how to get a license
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: to get weed. This way to get your weed license
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: is about as difficult as it gets. So while it
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: was fully recreationally legal in Thailand just last year or
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: maybe a couple years ago, now the health minister said, hey,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: I'm a square and it can only be medical. So
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: you have to get a medical license for weed, and
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: then you can buy it, and all the shops and everything,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: and that's fine, and they have weed shops and weed
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: gummies and everything in all the shops. The procedure you
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: go into a clinic and you pay an amount of
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: money ten to thirty dollars, roughly from the prices I've
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: seen in the clinics and the people I know who
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: have told me they got theirs, they I mean some
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: of them have got there for like three bucks, but
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't know everyone. I've looked at the
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: prices I am seeing online now are between ten and
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: thirty dollars. So you go to one of these clinics,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: you tell them you want a marijuana prescription. They will
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: have you talk to a real doctor. This will be
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: a real prescription but it's weed. So do you have anxiety?
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Do you have trouble sleeping? Do you have itchy skin?
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Those are conditions that you can be prescribed. You're we
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: license four and after you are prescribed it, they give
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: you your little card. In Thailand, it lasts for thirty days
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: and it's renewable and you won't have to go through
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: the full interview and testing procedure again, which only takes
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: like fifteen minutes. If you have to wait fifteen it
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: takes thirty minutes in total. You do that once and
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: then you can just go to all the shops and
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: buy weed legally. And then next month you go back
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: to your same doctor. You say I still have itchy toes.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: He's like, that sucks. Here you are and he'll prescribe
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: you one more month and if you're itchy toes ever
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: go away. Guess what. You have headaches? You have chronic
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: headaches and the only thing that can help is a
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: big fat, rolled up spliff. Now, I know tons of
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: people in Thailand who don't even bother getting the prescription.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: But if you get the prescription, you can go to
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: all the legal shops and cafes and yeah, all the
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: little clinic where you can buy all the fancy different
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: strains and stuff. And you can probably do that if
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: you don't have the prescription. But that's about as tricky
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: as I've ever heard anybody getting weed. And like I said,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: even in the countries where it's super restricted, like in China,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: you can still get it. It's just not worth it.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: If that's high on your list of priorities, then go
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: to the thirty percent of the world that is totally
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: fine with marijuana. One out of every three countries. You
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: can just go smoke and it's not even an issue.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: The most difficult thing is you have to get a
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: little card that costs money. Let's talk about that. You know.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Let's say you go to one of the really expensive ones.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: You'll definitely be out of there in five minutes. It
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: costs thirty dollars for your monthly prescription. Now you might
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: be thinking thirty dollars prescription, that's something I can't afford.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: But if you're living in Thailand and thirty dollars and
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: weed is important to you, thirty dollars is nothing. It's
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: an afterthought. If you are living in the US and
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: then you move to Thailand, instantly, you are saving like
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a month. You're saving so much money
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: per month. The thirty dollars is an afterthought. Your rent
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: from the US to Thailand goes from sixteen hundred dollars
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: per month to one hundred up to four hundred dollars
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: per month, So you're saving at least twelve hundred just
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: on average rent, which is your prescription budget for three
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: and a half years, three years, three years and four
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: months in one month that you live in Thailand, just
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: on rent. The food costs nothing there. It's they have
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: two dollars all you can eat buffets, they have seven dollars,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: really nice, all you can eat buffets. It's so inexpensive
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: to live in Thailand that even if you pay the
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: premium for your medical your weed license, it's not going
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: to It's going to be cheaper to get your weed
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: license and live in Thailand then it would be to
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: get it in the US at all. At all. It's
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: five dollars a month for phone. Yeah, it's just the
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: first day you live in Thailand. Your license fee for
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: marijuana is offset by the incredibly low cost of living.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: There are tons of dispensaries, weed cafes, across Thailand. Thailand's
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: awesome in general. So if you want to travel but
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: you are heavily into weed culture, which a lot of
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: travelers happen to be, because a bunch of us are hippies,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: and a bunch of us want to live comfortable, relaxed lives,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: and a lot of people do relax feel more relaxed
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: and comfortable living high, And you can very easily do
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: that well within your budget, probably saving money if you
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: go ahead and move to Thailand or move to one
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: of the other sixty seven countries that offer decriminalize or
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: medical use marijuana or fully recreationally legal marijuana. If you
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: really want to live in one of the countries where
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: we as not yet legal, it'll be like the US
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: was before it was federally decriminalized. You got to beat
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: a guy and buy the drugs and hope he doesn't
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: rip you off. But you can still get it in
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: the other countries. But again, it's just all about your priorities.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: My priorities are zero for weed, so I don't really care.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: But when this user on't let Me brought it up,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I realized, oh, yeah, I've been asked that question. Who
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: knows how many times. Can I get weed abroad if
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: I'm traveling? Is it? Is it difficult? And it's not
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: difficult at all. The most difficult thing is going in
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: for a short clinic visit and then you have, yeah,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: at least a month of prescription, and then you can
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: just go buy your weed or hangout in weed cafes.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: So if you like to do drugs and you're wondering
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: if life abroad will imp your habit, it definitely won't.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: You can have a couple of beers, smoke with some friends,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: have some great food. That's I mean, that's the life
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: of a lot of people that I know living abroad,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: especially a lot of the older retirees. They're like, man,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: what am I even I retired here? Why aren't I
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: enjoying myself to my fullest and all my vices? My personally,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: I like beer, so I drink plenty of that wherever
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: I go. I just don't. Weed doesn't agree with me,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: But we'd agrees with everybody, many, many, many of the
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: people I know, once they settle into a country, they're like,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: I should also get some weed so I have something
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: to make the sense that's more colorful every evening. And
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: I understand you don't want to ask your travel agent
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: like and how can I smoke a whole bunch of
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: weed there? So I figured I would just put this
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: out there for anybody wondering how easily accessible weed is
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: around the world if you're a traveler. Yeah, about thirty percent,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: about one in every three countries weeds legal, and you
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: can just go to dispensaries and get it. The most
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: trouble you have to go through is a license, but
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: those are often trivial to get. I've never heard of
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: a country where it's difficult to get a weed license. Also,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: I don't smoke, So if you have more information on
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: this than I do, feel free to write in. I'd
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: be interested to know the procedures of other countries I
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: haven't been to, because I've been what thirty whatever countries now,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: and it's always been extremely easy for everyone I know
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: who does smoke to get weed. As for all the
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: other drugs, they're all available in every country. I've seen
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: all the drugs everywhere. I've seen drugs in every country,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: and drug laws are not developed in a lot of countries.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Even the US, the States still haven't decriminalized weed. The
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: idea federally decriminalizing even a statistically innocuous and safe physiologically
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: safe substance like marijuana is a new concept, even to
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: country seen as socially progressive, like for Western Europe or
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: the States or Canada. So the other drugs, the harder drugs,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: are the ones that are not physiologically safe or the
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: ones that are just less common like magic mushrooms. Completely
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: physiologically safe, non addictive, totally fine to do, but there's
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: almost there are very few laws about magic mushrooms around
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: the world. I looked into that more than weed laws.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: I just know more about the weed laws specifically because
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: so many people smoke, but I like mushrooms more. And
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: looking up all of the laws around the world for
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: where psilocybin mushrooms are legal or not. There are half
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: of the countries I look up there's nothing on the books.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: When I moved to China, there was no law on
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: the books against magic mushrooms. It's just not as popular
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: a psychoactive substance, and so there's no legislation against it.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: There is now I just checked they made one, like
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: just a couple of years ago, So it is illegal
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: to use mushrooms now in China, and laws are changing
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: all the time. The FDA in the US has announced
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: mushrooms as a breakthrough drug twice. Either twice or three times,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: I can't even remember now, but yeah, drug laws are
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: changing all the time. Whatever country you're going to, you
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: can check that. This was just a quick psa that
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: if you're looking for some weed and you're worried that
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: that will it will be difficult to travel for you
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: because you like to smoke. There are almost seventy countries
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: just waiting for you with open arms, a big smile
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: and dry eyes. I hope you're having a great today.
