First country in the world to do so.

This is why I love S. America.

Colorado (and thus the USA) does so too now.

No, not "and thus the USA".

Federal law still classifies pot as a Schedule I controlled substance according to the Controlled Substances Act. But most Feds (including the White House) say they won't try to override states' laws on this.

Yes, there was legalization of pot in Alaska years ago and some stupid vote seeking politician made it a platform to delegalize pot and won and they did.

However, the state cops at least refused to go into the woods where there were heavily armed people who value freedom over everything else and so I think in the Alaska hills it is defacto legal.
