In the United States, alcohol is legal, but 100% of recreational drugs are illegal—Marijuana, recreational or medicinal, may or may not be legal depending on the state. But how do drug and alcohol laws and attitudes differ in countries we might visit? If Americans travel abroad with the intent to use drugs, what should they know beforehand? For example, how can a seemingly drug-casual society actually spell trouble for tourists engaging in narcotics? What should you know for you next global backpacking trip or spring break or EDM show? And if one travels without the intent to use drugs, why is it still important to know a place's laws about drugs and alcohol?
