Where is it legal to cultivate marijuana?

In majority of the world marijuana is ILLEGAL-to varying degrees. For example, in most Asian countries mere possession of a minimal amount of marijuana is punishable by life in prison.

However, in other countries in Europe, such as Amsterdam in the Netherlands, possession of marijuana is legal as long as used in designated areas (home, coffeeshops).

Furthermore, in Pakistan, there is widespread use of hashish and bhang (marijuana powder) by thousands of laborers and street-dwellers without punishment. However, one must use caution in Arab countries as the Islamic punishment for drugs and alcohol are harsh, even ending in death for distribution (Koran laws against drugs).
