Canada has high taxes, shitty socialized healthcare, does not allow foreign workers and mandates that radio stations play at least 33% Canadian artist.

They tax the shit out of alcohol and tobacco.

While they have the same basic "freedoms" its way more socialist.

The other countries you listed (besides Belize because I don't know) have much higher taxes as well.

Okay. I'll give you taxes. I'll also give you another country.

Netherlands.

I can smoke a joint on the street in Amsterdam, but I can't even do that in my own ****ing living room in the United States. What gives, huh? Home of the free, you say?

Amsterdam is a bit of a mess from what I understand though I can't say I know from first hand experience.
C

Holy shit Nickleback, Rush, and Celine Deion all the time. Ahhhhhhhhh.

Do classical music stations in Canada have to play 33% Canadian composers? Do Canadian classical music artists count?

They must listen to a lot of Glenn Gould in Canada

yes, because smoking a joint is the epitome of freedom...

Anyway, weed isn't legal in Amsterdam, it's been decriminalized and there are coffee shops you can smoke it, but you're not supposed to smoke it in the street.....

Have you ever been to Amsterdam? Europe? Do you only know what you read on the interweb?

33.5%, 42%, 42%, and 52% tax rates plus another 19% sales tax on many goods

If I was a stoner, I'd rather move to one of many states where it is legal to get high..

Although the Netherlands is beautiful....I could go for summers there and winters elsewhere 8-)
