Marijuana is an illegal drug, and is only ever legal for medicinal purposes, and even then is it tightly dispensed.

You first must obtain a permit from the government, but you must have a horrible or extremely painful disease or condition, and it is definitively proven that marijuana will help ease your suffering. But you can have no more than 20 grams in a two week period.

If, however, a citizen is caught growing, selling, or using marijuana without a permit, and is cultivating it for the purpose of recreational use, they can face up to 20 years imprisonment on the first offence, and on the second offence, death.
Current RP year is 2066.

Marijuana was never criminalized in Ferdistan and, following the Halal Regulation Act 1947, was formally legalized for medical uses, and, in the same act, the decriminalization of marijuana for recreational uses was also codified. Currently, medical marijuana is dispensed by the Ministry of Health as a regular painkiller and seizure inhibitor, usually at no charge.

Recreationally, those selling it must register with the government. A special 31% sales tax (atop the regular sales tax) applies to marijuana, along with other legalized recreational drugs. The crops must be inspected upon harvest to ensure safety, and THC concentrations higher than 55% are prohibited for safety reasons, although this last provision is rarely enforced.

Medical marijuana is permissible, but it must be imported and not grown locally. Industrial hemp with a THC presence is lawful if it is grown on the same site where it is processed into the product. Industrial hemp without THC presence (or with minor presence that cannot alter a user if combusted) is totally unrestricted.

All recreational and/or consumable drugs except pharmaceuticals and caffiene are illegal in accordance with the Prohibition.

The growth, possession, and use of Marijuana was only recently legalised in Pacificora, therefore the industry is still under a lot of regulation. The growth of marijuana is closely monitored by the Pacifican Agricultural Agency (PAA), the medical use is closely monitored by the Pacifican Medical and Heath Agency (PMHA) and the use of marijuana is held dear by the People's Civil Rights Congress (PCRC, a system where Pacificans are invited to attend to voice their opinion on Civil Rights in Pacificora, and issued out similar to jury duty).

The government after considering medical and substance abuse arguments decided that marijuana poses no threat to society nor does it warrant the status of controlled substance. Although they looked at medical marijuana they deemed it not a prescribable substance therefore cannot be regulated as a pharmaceutical. Because it is not a controlled substance, unlike alcohol and tobacco, it has no age requirement for use nor is it taxed or regulated in any way; although impaired driving is still a criminal offence.

Marijuana is firmly on the Proscribed & Controlled Substances List maintained by the Ministry of Justice. Limited used of cannabis oil by the Ministry of Health has been authorized, but nothing else is permitted under the law as it stands. Smoking marijuana leads to sloth, degeneracy, and damage to one's ability to serve the community. This is unacceptable.
Le Mars currently has a population capped at roughly ninety million people, though I reserve the right to lift this cap if it should become necessary.

What is your Nations stance on Marijuana? (and also Hashish)

Legal.

Weak Marijuana : Often to be found in markets at the same stall as other herbs and is a common cooking ingredient. Even sold in the supermarket chains (usually between the rosemary and thyme). Often used for hemp products that are easily accessible.

Medium Marijuana: Sold like cigarettes (pre rolled in packets) or loose. (Taxed).

Skunk, strong Marijuana: Sold in the pub model in licenced premises (consumed on site). (Taxed and regulated)

How do people look at it? 

Weak and medium type consumption is not viewed in anyway, it's just a thing people do. Over used of strong types is viewed much like alcoholism.

Illegal, decrimminalized, Legal? Or perhaps even taxed and sold as a commodity, used in religious rites and the likes?

Sold as a commodity like normal herbs, tobacco or whisky (dependent on strength)

Any special permits needed or age restrictions in place?

Strictly speaking there are no age restrictions in place but it is next to impossible for someone under 15 to get strong or median strength due to social restriction.

Strong must be consumed on premises and the outlet owner is responsible for some part for the behaviour of thier customers, much like bars.

A wise man once said, if you want children to brush their teeth, make it illegal. Another wise man once said, gay married couples should be free to defend their marijuana fields with their guns.

We agree.
Donald J. Trump was an exceptionally good POTUS, and I do not care if this opinion hurts your feelings.

In my experience, ultra-realists in RP tend to be the sort of people who see an RP as a contest to be won, rather than a story to be told, but because they lack honestly any story-writing ability, they seek to lawyer their way to a victory by drowning everybody in statistics and demanding everything run strictly by a laundry list of statistics and figures they dig out of obscure field manuals and tech magazines.

Marijuana was made legal in Ghosnia in 1982 as a medical and traditional supplement. It can be purchased in many drugstores and is used as an alternative to cigarette smoking, which is not illegal but highly discouraged. It is also used in some foods. The most notable use of Marijuana in Ghosnia is in religious ceremonies. In the festival of Holi, a drink known a bhang, which contains cannabis flowers, is consumed.

Cannabis is perfectly legal in Ru for anyone over 18, though its sale is regulated due to its mood and mind altering properties.

The plant is actually a major part of Ru's culture stretching back to the very most ancient part of our history. Growing naturally in much of the Greenwood and on the southern borders of the Misty Valley, the plant was considered important to the religious practices of the pagan polythestic dragon worshiping faiths of the Empire's ancient east. It was strongly associated with Rellonix, the Immortal Great Fire Dragon, and Natholo/Nathala, The Immortal Great Earth Dragon, and was a gift to mortal men from one, either, or both of them. (according to the ancient mythologies the two feud fiercely over who was responsible for the gift) Cannabis was thus an important part of religious rituals that honored these deities.

It has also long since been part of the current dominant religion in Ru, The Faith of Cael. Theologians believe that Cannabis was only associated with The Faith after it swept over the East and adopted many of the customs of the old dragon worshipers. Since Cael was a cheerful god of revelry it is not surprising that Caelians would claim the plant as His own. A few Caelian rituals incorporate cannabis, as the relaxed state it induces is thought to help bring worshipers closer to their god.
A civilization with an over 3,000 year history of lizard people killing each other and enslaving everyone else. Now they've finally calmed down and formed a modern westernized constitutional monarchy. (long live Emperor Yoshio!)

Note: Any factbook entries over a year old are severely out of date and may be subject to extreme revision and retconning soon. If you have questions on anything about Ru, please feel free to ask.

In Alkovann, marijuana is legal and regulated much like alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs. Smoking of any kind is prohibited in public areas, and is only allowed in designated smoking areas or in private dwellings. Exposing children to second-hand smoke, whether tobacco or marijuana, is designated as child abuse. Regardless, smoking of any kind is frowned upon by much of Alkovansk society. Edibles are required to be clearly labeled with amounts of THC per serving and servings per container.
