Legal Landscape of 420 Friendly Practices Around the World
What does 420 friendly mean? It’s a way of life, a mindset. It means a place or person welcomes the use of cannabis in their space or environment. It’s an openness to the plant, but more than anything, it’s a culture of coming together in celebration of what the plant’s all about, including being creative and accepting of people from all walks of life.
Recently, the term has been associated with the legal status of weed. So, what does this mean? What are the regulations across countries, and where can you consume the plant safely? Let’s take a look.
