    --you can smoke weed.

    I don't think you know what you're talking about. Drug use is not legal here. Marijuana is still illegal, although there have been thoughts of decriminalizing it, which is completely different from making it legal.

    Decriminalizing it basically means the users (of marijuana) who are caught with small amounts (I can remember the exact amount) don't face charges and/or possibly jail time. It's the drug dealers who get hit.

    But this is far from making it legal.
