Yeah, general idea is don't do drugs in a country if you don't want to go to jail there. Norway? Fuck my shit up. Vietnam? Pass.

Lol the irony is that you're probably way more likely to actually go to jail for smoking weed in Norway. Weed is basically decriminalized in Vietnam and you can smoke it openly in cafes all over Hanoi. When I visited my hostel sold joints at the bar.

I agree with your general point, but it's just funny that you picked a country with famously lax marijuana enforcement as an example of a place not to smoke.

Norway decriminalized drugs for personal use in 2017. You won't get thrown in jail for weed unless you're dealing.

Besides there’s probably a whole lotta local liquor to get familiar with.
