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.
