It's a little bit more "legal" than decriminalisation in more European countries if you consider paying for membership in a CSC, where the buying is more a service fee than one-to-one sale. They're also non-profit cooperatives (democratically owned), which is pretty interesting.

Although the Nordics which are usually pretty progressive, have not even decriminalised recreational use yet - so they're definitely being weirdly conservative about it.
