Courtesy of the TV show Weeds, here’s a short history of marijuana use around the world.

While clever, the animation is obviously highly selective in the historical dates it chooses. That said, there is still a strong argument for the legalization of the plant - check out an interview with pro-pot activist Rick Steves, and our Guide To Smoking Pot Around the World.

Enjoy the weekend!
