If everything works out, after I get my BA and teaching certification I'll be moving to one of two places. South Korea, where pot is looked at as a hard drug and penalties are extremely stiff, making it very difficult to find, or Bhutan – a lovely isolated country near Nepal where it grows naturally and the most people tend to do with it is feed it to their livestock to keep them hungry. Also very close to Southern India, where it is de facto legal.
I really don't mind not using marijuana if I end up in a place where use has stiff penalties. A lot of Indonesia where I could possibly be teaching actually has death penalties for drug trafficking or even just possession, although they're not widely enforced – I'd probably just get deported and lose my teaching career forever.
That is a few years away though.
