The sources of this map are www.norml.org, www.erowid.org, www.webehigh.com, emcdda.europa.eu, and right here on wikipedia. If sources country by country are needed should i list them here or make a new page? CL8 01:52, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

List them here. Now isnt the moment but I will look for stuff myself over the next days, starting with Latin America and Europe so maybe you could start elsewhere. I think this is an excellent place to source the map info in this unquestionably controversial and international topic SqueakBox 01:58, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I've gotten started. I've done North and South America and what I've got on Europe. Sorry but those are the sources I have available right now. However, a lot of my Central America is still unknown. If you can find any additions or any corrections, please let me know and I'll add them to the map. Any new or additional sources, please add them in the below section.... I'll do Africa/Asia later tonight or tomorrow. Thanks! CL8 06:18, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Great work. These sources are exactly what we need. Of course it is a contentious issue, my experience of Portugal, for instance, completely contradicts this and while I dont bring my own experiences to wikipedia as unsourced my point is well made, I see someone is disputing the German bit on your talk page, SqueakBox 19:09, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

I agree. These sources look good like this. They are just what is needed. If you can add any sources for any countries please do. And this map and sources should be discussed like the German guy. However I am not going to change Germany unless he can give me a source of some kind that contradicts the 2 or 3 sources I have. Just like anywhere on wikipedia, we'll make changes when there is concensus or new sources of information. :) - CL8 22:32, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

OK! I think I'm done listing all of the sources I have (still can't find my sources for Bahrain and North Korea). Please add or send me any additional sources. CL8 16:52, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Unenforced" in Sweden?

As a resident Swede who also happens to be a cannabis liberal, I find the claim about cannabis usage not being enforced to be somewhat dubious. In Sweden you can (especially if you're underage) get busted for merely doing the drug, never mind possession of small amounts. And while there is plenty of skepticism to the harsh narcotics laws in the younger generation, cannabis usage is still a very major taboo among most Swedes. You can certainly get away with smoking in public, but only because most people don't know what they're dealing with (unless you look like a gangster, a skater or if you sport dreads). And I've never heard of Swedish police officers knowingly ignoring people whom they've spotted with a joint. To the best of my knowledge, most narcotic-related arrests are cannabis-related.

I don't find anything in the sources, other than the WebBeHigh-pages which aren't completely reliable, that would confirm that the cannabis laws aren't enforced quite stringently.
