Just to clear a common misunderstanding.

Portugal decriminalized drug use. Meanings that drugs are still illegal, it is just that you won't face a court of law and you won't go to jail, but you can still get punished, for example with a fine.

Also, if you have more than a small amount of drugs, it is considered trafficking and it is still a crime in Portugal. With jail time.

And there is no exception for cannabis, it is illegal just like crack and heroin.
