I’ve attached a link further down. I live in a “red” country where it has not been decriminalised, but cannabis usage will only give a fine and won’t show up un your criminal record. So its no big deal really even though it may be illigal.
Interesting, didn’t realize Italy and these Balkans countries had it, I actually did know about Spain should’ve included in list.
Still, we’re a far cry away from having it properly legalized, most countries would still require you to have connections with dealers etc which imo is the big one.
Even Netherlands where you can buy it over the counter no questions asked, it’s still illegal up until the point it magically appears in the coffeeshop.
Still, with Germany looking like they’ll fully legalize Canada style, that’s a good sign the rest will be able to follow since daddy Germany did it.
At this point i think it’s illigal but acceptable. It’s true that you still need to buy it off ‘criminals’ but I believe it is more or less common knowledge where they are available.
Full on legalization does not always bring with it good things. Vaping has recently been regulated and that brought some really silly requirements that streetwise politicians would never have thought of
Oh for sure, it will make it regulated and maybe more expensive, and it will get eaten up by capitalism, but still I think it’s way better that we get rid of stupid anti-drugs legislations that only serve to marginalize people and enable nasty criminal supply chains.
The good thing with weed though is that as long as it’s legalized, then that means you can just grow your own and I’m not sure what regulations could do about that.
Can’t see that anywhere on the wiki link but searching directly I see that’s the Swiss rule. I also see simple possession was reduced to fines. Bit cheeky if they include countries with such rule as decriminalised, which is making my point that there’s still a long way to go in Europe.
Eeeh any sources on that? Besides Netherlands, Portugal and Switzerland where is it decriminalised?

With the exception of a medical perscription weed it’s very much not decriminalised in Switzerland.
Well it’s yellow on the map the other guy linked. Decriminalised just means they don’t prosecute you for consumer amounts not that it’s legal.
The yellow says “CBD weed with < 1% THC”.
That’s like saying underaged drinking is legal because alcohol-free beer is unrestricted.
