I'm sure customs will adjust Spain to put it on the same level as scrutiny as NL. But for the Europeans this shit is sweet

Spain already has legalized marijuana.... kind of. You can grow whatever you want for personal use already, and they have places that sell weed legally in private clubs.

The amendment to the law is not as clear cut as it sounds so hopefully the following will help to clarify matters.
The good news for many is that in article 36.18 of the law regarding citizen safety, a paragraph is included with an amendment regarding the cultivation of cannabis that states it is punishable “only in public places”.
Franco’s original law on April 8 1967 prohibited the cultivation of cannabis although violators were often not punished. That law stated that it was forbidden to germinate seeds. Now, growers can germinate seeds in Spain.
Grow shops and registered growers can sell cuttings/seedlings provided they do not display them openly to the public. You certainly can’t start selling bags of the product at the local rastro.
Self cultivation has not yet been fully legalised, but it has been decriminalised. Therefore, the act of cultivation itself is not banned… but doing it somewhere where it is viewable by the general public is. So, do it on a hidden terrace, in a greenhouse or in the living room if you like – but not where Joe Bloggs can see it or smell it when he strolls past with his pooch.
The starting fine is €601 which is a rise but not as high as numerous cannabis associations had feared it would be.
So, bad news for cannabis growers is that if you do it publicly, the fine is still a hefty one. Good news is that you can grow it at home without fear. You can teach growing methods to others, and you can take photos for your Facebook pals. Just don’t line the plants up on your front doorstep facing the police station with a big sign saying “Buy your marijuana here”.

Meh, this is reallity in catolonia anyways since a while now. There are literally coffeshops in citys like barcelona and nobody bats an eye if you publicly smoke weed, I even saw people smoke weed in the subway (which is actually really shitty, wtf). You can even buy heavy stuff like tilidin in the pharmacy there without any problem too.
But you can't buy beer after 10:00, so that's a thing.
I mean come on, Spain borders on the one country(Portugal) that literally does not charge anybody for drug crimes, of course they don't care.

Spaniard here and i'm a lawyer, this is false. There isn't any decriminalization. If someone speaks spanish here a criminal lawyer explains what's the new regulation:
http://canamo.net/actualidad/despenalizado-o-no-cultivo-espana
For those who doesn't speak it: Its illegal to cultivate, its illegal to sell and now if the judge rules that your grow is not a crime the Goverment can and will fine you.
For those who think that selling weed in Catalonia es legal, it isnt. Our criminal laws forbid any sell , act of cultivation, distribution etc as any western country the "problem" is that some judges tend to rule that if "public health" isnt involved then there is no crime. Using that idea some people have founded private smoker clubs.
Please share your time machine OP, everyone's been openly growing in Spain for years, got a balcony stick 8 plants on it, got a garden stick 8 plants out there, got a flat roof bang 8 plants on it
