A countdown of the top 25 countries to visit for the marijuana aficionado rated by legality, availability, and how sweet it would be to roll a fat joint there.
North Korea
You'd never guess it, but cannabis is not classified as a drug or regulated by the North Korean government and supposedly plants grow freely along the road. There is said to be no taboo against smoking weed, but still we put this on the bottom of our list for not being welcoming towards visitors.

Estonia
In Estonia they like homegrown herb, so this is a great place to visit if you prefer to buy local. Unfortunately possession of small amounts is considered a misdemeanor.

Brazil
Weed is technically illegal, but is tolerated in many places and a powerful legalize movement has grown in Brazil. It is said you can buy bud and hash in most of the city's beaches, bars and clubs, but to be discreet about where you smoke.

Nepal
Marijuana and its derivatives, such as Hashish and Bhang, are widely available throughout Nepal and often part of religious events. In Kathmandu tourists will be offered hashish, but weed is not technically legal, so you might have to offer a bribe to police if caught with any.
