Portugal decriminalized it, you can't buy it legally anyway.

> If someone is found in the possession of less than a 10-day supply of anything from marijuana to heroin, he or she is sent to a three-person Commission for the Dissuasion of Drug Addiction, typically made up of a lawyer, a doctor and a social worker. The commission recommends treatment or a minor fine; otherwise, the person is sent off without any penalty. A vast majority of the time, there is no penalty.

That is indeed not quite the same thing. My impression of the Portugal situation was different, but apparently incorrect.
