Need ideas for countries. What's a good place I could move to that has decent public transit infrastructure, free healthcare and good welfare/retirement benefits, cheap gigabit internet, and legal cannabis concentrates?

(Last one is most important because I literally cannot sleep without weed; prescription sleeping pills are awful and do not work effectively for me. Also flower is a non-option cause the wife hates the smell and I want to be considerate.)

Germany, The Netherlands or Czech Republic.

Lets just wait what we Germans vote in 2029. Not sure CDU will kill off the AfD (i actually believe they will team up).

2029 may be too late. If things don't turn around after the midterms, I'm leaving the country.

The good thing about EU citizenship is that you can just hop between EU countries if the one you live in turns fascist, but you need to become the citizen of an EU country first.

I mean it is for sure good to plan ahead. Where do you plan on going if i may ask?

The Netherlands allows cannabis concentrates now? Last I checked it was only flower, and you still can only buy it in "coffee shops".

Did some limited research and it seems like no other country except Uruguay meets my needs. In those other countries, it seems like you have to make your own (illegally). Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears that you can't just walk into a shop and buy shatter, crumble, wax, a preloaded distillate vape, etc.

I don't have the skills nor the fancy equipment to make my own concentrates, so I guess I'm going to die here in the US... I don't want to have to go back to the days of taking several prescriptions for my various physical and mental issues. I just want to be able to freely hit the vape anytime and anywhere, and not have to look over my shoulder every time I do so. Those days are far behind me and I never want to go back to them ever again.

Japan still has legal CBN (and CBD), at least until the government figures out that people are using it to have fun and bans it. Although health care is cheap but not free.

I've tried CBD but it doesn't help with my sleep issues unless combined with THC.

Yeah cbd didn't do much for me but cbn gives similar feelings to thc. I didn't look into it very deeply but it's something like thc breaks down into cbn over time. It's basically a weaker version of thc. Apparently you could pass a drug test with cbd but not with cbn, for example.
