Eh, not legally. It’s illegal but condoned (up to 5 gram, for personal use only). Meaning they won’t arrest or prosecute you for it, but technically you are still beaking the law. I guess in theory some DA could add it along with other charges. But since we don’t have a US-style kangaroo court system, this never happens.
A lot of DA’s in the US trump up charges and add anything they can think of, often in order to scare the defendant into settling out of court. I believe some 97% of cases in the US are settled out of court. That doesn’t happen over here.
so they illegally purchase it and then sell illegal goods, legally?

OK. Thank you for explaining.
