Could someone in Ireland fill me in on the status of weed there currently? Do the police go after smokers or is it like the UK and more or less other Western European countries where it's de facto "decriminalised" in the sense that, while it's still de jure illegal the police don't care?

No the police are still extremely hard on people caught in possession of even tiny amounts. You will more than likely end up in front of a judge. The judge will probably give you a caution and a couple of hundred Euro fine for a first time offense. It's a complete waste of everyone's time and tax payers money.

Damn, that's a shame. Is it the same in the bigger cities ie Dublin too?
