9. Peru
In accordance with Article 299 of the Penal Code, possession of up to 8 grams is not a criminal offense, however, possessing marijuana over the given legal limit, its cultivation, sale and transport is punished with a long prison sentence. Encouragement by Uruguay and proposals for discussion on the matter mean that Peru which ranks 9th in our list of countries that will legalize weed next, may well be on its way to legalizing weed entirely in the future.
