Swiss citizens can now carry up to 10 grams of marijuana without fear of arrest. Switzerland is the fourth European country to decriminalize pot.
'Potland' is usually reserved for Oregon's largest city, but if voters in Portland, Maine pass a ballot to legalize marijuana on Nov. 5, they can share the stony title.
