Kos Cannabis Laws

The even better news is that a small amount of cannabis for personal use is decriminalized- which means you’ll have to pay a fine, but won’t be arrested for it. However, what constitutes this ‘small quantity’ is something that only a judge can decide. This means that you might be sent to court for even a few grams on you, and also be kept in the lockup for a night or two.
