By the end of 2018, recreational cannabis had been legalized in Canada and Uruguay, as well as several states within the United States (referred to here as ‘America’). Nigeria had not legalized it.

Uruguay legalized recreational cannabis in 2013. Canada legalized recreational cannabis federally in October 2018. Several US states had legalized recreational use through ballot initiatives by 2018. Nigeria maintains strict laws against cannabis.

The legalization landscape for cannabis is complex and varies by country and within countries (e.g., state vs. federal laws in the US). The question asks about ‘possession and use’, which was legal in specific jurisdictions within the US by 2018, making statement 1 applicable in that context.
