At first blush you might assume that India and Nepal would be great places to Immigrate for a Pot smoker. Maybe, if I was single, they would be. But married with children? Not so much.

Though the laws seem lax, and rarely enforced, I worry, Murphy’s Law being what it is. Tourists generally get off with a fine or bribe, but what about immigration status/ Does someone trying to become a citizen face repurcussions more severe than a tourist or a native for drug posession. Can’t be sure. Neither can India or Nepal, apparently.

Their healthcare systems seem to be in disarray, or all the way to shambles. One system devastated by Earthquake and political turmoil, the other by greedy Private Insurance Systems.

Education in both countries is hit or miss as well, so I don’t see my kids getting the chance they deserve.

So though Culturally, and outdoor adventure wise both countries would be amazing, that isn’t enough.

No, this little family won’t be taking up residency in nepal or India.
