In which countries (or states) can a traveler smoke weed and not face any legal charges? [closed]
According to the accepted answer to this question tourists cannot smoke weed anymore in coffee shops, in Amsterdam. It is allowed only for residents. It also seems that smoking weed in Prague is not tolerated. On the other way, it seems to be legal to smoke it in Colorado.
I want to know if there are other countries (or states) in the world where a traveler can smoke weed and not face any legal charges. Consider, for the sake of this question, it is ok if there are restrictions that an ordinary traveler can fulfill like being allowed to smoke only in specific places and not in public. If the restrictions are a bit harder, like having some health condition (or a doctor's prescription) or having some resident obtain the herb and give it to you, than it's not a good answer to this question.

Marijuana appears to be freely available for tourists in North Korea and surprisingly this appears to be the only country where tourists can smoke anywhere without fear of prosecution.
According to multiple reports from defectors, visitors and experts, North Korea either has no law against the sale and consumption of weed, or it has a law that is largely unenforced.
Just last week, a 29-year-old freelance writer from England wrote an account on his blog explaining how he purchased a grocery bag full of weed at an indoor market in rural North Korea and smoked it with impunity both at outdoor parks and monuments, as well as in restaurants and bars.
Although the author later mentioned that the weed wasn't as strong as the one sold in Europe.
