What are other countries where you are allowed to possess marijuana for recreational usage? Also, what about other substances, like lsd, psilocybin, or plants like peyote?

Portugal comes to mind for me, but I am not sure what he means by a majority of developed countries.

I think the key word from his assertion is "decriminalized." Different from "legal."

* Czech Republic (Prague is the new Amsterdam)

* Uruguay

* Portugal

Found this list - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_cannabis_by_country

As anonbanker noticed, Uruguay is where it is legal. Another one - North Korea. The rest of places are either sorta-legal, or "decriminalized", which often still come with fines or some kind of pressure from the law.

"Majority" on this issue is high dependent on how you define "developed"

The majority of developed countries most definitely do not have decriminalized marijuana.

A man can dream...
