Tony O'Neill scoured the globe for the most lenient drug laws. The Czech Republic made the Top 5:
Since 2010, the possession of up to 15 grams (or five plants) of marijuana is an offense roughly on a par with a getting parking ticket. And while selling drugs is still very much illegal, it's pretty easy to find them, in Prague above all. The 19-year-old nation's liberal approach doesn't just apply to the green stuff. Drug users in the Czech Republic are permitted to possess—without fear of prosecution—up to five grams of hash, 40 magic mushrooms, five peyote plants, five tabs of LSD, four hits of ecstasy, two grams of speed, one and a half grams of heroin, five coca plants and a gram of coke. Or, as Hunter S. Thompson might have called it, "lunch."
