keywords: 

{'recreational cannabis': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'countries': [1, 0, 2, 6], 'canada': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'nigeria': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'america': [9, 3, 7, 16], 'possession': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

The correct answer is option 2: 2 and 4 only.

In 2018, two countries legalized the possession and use of recreational cannabis: Canada and Uruguay.

Canada became the first major country to legalize recreational cannabis nationwide on October 17, 2018. This means that adults in Canada can legally possess and use cannabis for non-medical purposes.

Uruguay, on the other hand, became the first country in the world to legalize the production, sale, and use of recreational cannabis in 2013. It has since established a regulated market for the drug, allowing adults to purchase and consume cannabis legally.

Option 1 (1, 2, and 3) is incorrect because while Canada and Uruguay have legalized recreational cannabis, America and Nigeria have not.

Option 3 (1 and 4 only) is incorrect because it only includes the correct answer for Uruguay but not Canada.

Option 4 (1, 2, and 4) is incorrect because it wrongly includes America.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2 (2 and 4 only), as it correctly identifies Canada and Uruguay as the countries that legalized recreational cannabis in 2018.
