As of New Year’s Day 2010, Czechs in possession of small quantities of narcotics need no longer fret about trouble with the law. That comes as no surprise in a country in which marijuana is, for many, part of everyday life, remarks Polish journalist Mariusz Szczygiel. 
Sold on the Web and in “smartshops” as herbs or incense, Spice is catching on among cannabis enthusiasts. It contains synthetic cannabinoids, which worries the European health watchdogs. But substances of this sort are difficult to detect and, consequently, to prohibit, notes Libération.
