What are the countries with the strictest weed laws?
It might be surprising to find France on this list considering its neighbor to the North, but France is unusually tough on marijuana smokers.
According to the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction, “the law itself does not distinguish between possession for personal use or trafficking, or by type of substance.”
This means that French authorities impose jail time for a variety of drug possession offenses. Even a small amount of marijuana could get you in trouble.
Jail sentences are not nearly as long in France as in some other countries on this list of the countries with the strictest weed laws.
A small amount of drugs could land you up to a year in jail, or a thousand euro fine. Larger drug possession charges range from ten years to life.

There's nothing mind opening about marijuana use unless you mean making the mind one large vacuous space that causes it to cease reasonable functioning and consideration for others. I was laid back about others' pot smoking until the increasingly lenient laws in the U.S. meant that there's hardly any enforcement of the pot smoking in my NONSMOKING apartment building. I've heard similar complaints from others in their apartment buildings. Sorry pot smokers, but as long as you force me to inhale your noxious fumes in my apartment building, parking lots, any public public venue whatsoever, I will be firmly against the use of marijuana and will seek greater enforcement and punishments. It's your selfishness and lack of consideration that has made it this way.
Laura you ignorant slut! Your inane diatribe on how this medicinal and spiritual plant that has been mankind friend for thousands of years is both ill informed and ignorant. Not sure if you have any facts at your disposal, as there are none listed , but your little baby annoyance is as amusing as it is ignorant. I will enjoy watching the world wake up and change around the close minded retardation that is your voice and that of your “kind”. Fade away oh mouse squeak of activism, scurry off to your creatively bereft and humorless hole of self unawaness and get buried in the rubbish of “no one cares”
Hahahaha thank you for that comment. Laura needs to lighten up or light one up
