Which do you think will be the next country to legalize recreational cannabis?

Hopefully none. Cannabis is really bad for your health and should NOT be used for "fun":
- Marijuana causes an "increased risk of stroke, heart disease, and other vascular diseases." (CDC, 2020-a)
- "Smoke from marijuana has many of the same toxins, irritants, and carcinogens (cancer-causing chemicals) as tobacco smoke." (CDC, 2020-b)
- "People who use marijuana are more likely to develop [...] long-lasting mental disorders, including schizophrenia (a type of mental illness where people might see or hear things that are not really there)." (CDC, 2020-c)
There's thousands of activities with less adverse effects than doing drugs. PLEASE get a hobby other than trying to fry your brain with chemicals.
