Top 5 Weed Smoking Countries in the World

3. Jamaica

Annual Prevalence of Cannabis Use: 18%

Ganja is deeply rooted in Jamaica’s history and culture, but it is not legal. The country legalized medical cannabis and decriminalized possession of under 2 ounces in 2015, after more than a century of prohibition that saw the plant weaponized to silence and disenfranchise dissenters. Illegal cannabis cultivation is rampant in Jamaica, with an estimated 15,000 ha of cannabis cultivated annually illegally, mostly for export.
