> she'll live in a society where (probably/hopefully) most states have some form of marriage equality and marijuana is at least decriminalized. That is amazing to me.

Welcome to the majority of developed countries on the planet now.

One day, you might even see universal healthcare!

What are other countries where you are allowed to possess marijuana for recreational usage? Also, what about other substances, like lsd, psilocybin, or plants like peyote?

Found this list - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_cannabis_by_country

As anonbanker noticed, Uruguay is where it is legal. Another one - North Korea. The rest of places are either sorta-legal, or "decriminalized", which often still come with fines or some kind of pressure from the law.

I think the key word from his assertion is "decriminalized." Different from "legal."

Portugal comes to mind for me, but I am not sure what he means by a majority of developed countries.

"Majority" on this issue is high dependent on how you define "developed"

The majority of developed countries most definitely do not have decriminalized marijuana.
