I'm old enough to decide that I won't choose to go anywhere that they don't have weed. It's not even about being able to blaze, more just what that signifies.
I've heard that it's around in some surprising areas- like North Korea, where they think nothing of it.
I bet they even still have a decent supply of hash in Gaza right now.
So, yeah. Fuck Singapore. I'm not even all that curious about the national equivalent of a weird mall that has half a dozen boba tea places and asshole security guards.

Idk where he is going but all throughout the americas and most of Europe it's easy to get. Usually you can just Google the name of the city and where to find weed and an answer will come up. Some places have dispensary type deals and other places it's just like look for people with dreadlocks sitting around in a circle at such and such a square. One way or another it's never hard to find, and frankly and probably half the cities I go to within 30 minutes of me just walking around I've been accosted by a drug dealer. In lisbon I couldn't walk 50 yards without someone trying to sell me hash /coke/molly. I generally ignore anyone that approaches me like that because they usually have overpriced garbage.
Not always though. In lisbon I ended up going to a head shop and when I walked out the door the owner came out from the back. In this case I heard what the man had to say, and it was worth my while. Sold me an oz of dank buds in a fancy glass jar for 120 euros which felt like an absolute steal to me in 2014.

Yeah I think it really varies by person what substances you might be most susceptible to addiction to. Alcohol and nicotine I can take or leave and never developed a consistent habit. But I've used weed and caffeine every day for a lot of my adult life.

It feels a little odd and profile-ey to type it out this way, but every single time I got approached by a Moroccan on the streets of southern europe, I got a good deal on some great hash. I eventually became aware of the general pricing, and looking back, I realized that all those guys on the street had given me the exact honest rate. By muscle memory alone, no less.
The best was the time that this kid led me down a dark alley and pulled out a big knife....then asked me for a lighter. Then pulled out the brick that he was going to shave my portion off of lol
Then he left me with the stuff while I went into a bar to get change. I felt like a dick for doubting him, when he totally trusted me two minutes later.
But from an American perspective, it was all sketchy as fuck.

Some of it is your lifelong consumption pattern, I'm sure.
I'm a daily cannabis user now, but find it relatively easy to take tolerance breaks. I don't have a compelling reason to go more than a few days without weed, and medical reasons not to. But it also doesn't seem like such a big deal.
But I didn't start consuming cannabis daily until my late 30's. In my teens and early 20's, it was a far more sporadic endeavor. It still feels "special" to smoke regularly.

God, the dreams... I'm taking a little break. Last night was the first dream I've had in months. What a backlog. Girlfriend died, fucked my life by stealing a few thousand dollars with Clive Owen from some kinda Mafia guys. Had to move in with my deceased girlfriend's father... Etc
