Maybe more so in Bosnia where most people are Muslims. In Croatia, most of them are Roman Catholics and that affects how people live their lives. In Serbia, it's probably the Christian influence on society. Police in Belgrade might turn a blind eye to pot smoking if you're not acting strange or anything, but not always. So you don't want to get caught if an officer is having a bad day, lol. Or they might let you go with a simple warning if you offer up a nice wad of cash to them.
I believe in Bosnia, you can get sent to prison for quite a long time for possession. Possibly even a death sentence. I'm guessing it's like that in other Muslim countries.

It certainly would never outweigh jail time for me or being a social pariah.

I don't know if I would want to be in a Serbian jail. I don't even want to end up in a Canadian one simply because of the high risk of deportation, and then not being able to come back. Weed is used and tolerated among younger people there, but older people probably won't be so forgiving towards you and possibly even your family. Which can pose a problem since culture and traditions are largely social.
Homosexuality is still looked down upon there as well, again it's the old Christian traditions and beliefs. If you are gay, you better not make it known. It's so much better in the US and Canada, and even Western Europe - attitudes about such things are much more positive.
