UPDATE: In a word, no. The Greek website was reporting on the Czech legalization of personal amounts of drugs. Sorry for the mistranslation.
If my Google Translation of this Greek news website is accurate, it sounds like the government just decriminalized the personal possession of drugs, including up to a half-ounce of cannabis! (Thanks Rev. Steve of Michigan NORML for the news)
Under a government decision taken two weeks ago (14/12/2009) every citizen has the right to hold:
1.5 gram of heroin, 1 gram of cocaine, 15 grams of marijuana, 5 grams of hashish and 5 doses of LSD. Under that decision, it is possible at home growing up to 5 seedlings of hashish …
I can’t find any other confirmation of this, so I’m calling on all Stashers, especially those who speak Greek or have Greek connections, to help me confirm this great news.

I've been the High Times "Freedom Fighter of the Month" for my work producing Oregon NORML's TV show, "A Cannabis Community Forum", and for helping to institute Portland's wildly successful medical marijuana cardholders meetings, where we help sick and disabled Oregonians acquire cannabis plant starts, learn gardening, and understand the medical marijuana law. I've dedicated my life to bringing an end to adult marijuana prohibition and re-legalizing cannabis hemp, and I'm honored to be chosen by NORML to be our daily voice.

Hello, was about time some Greek came across this one. The source is beyond belief man.. (really cracked me up)
This is the communist party website, reporting the new law of Czech, and explaining in the paragraph under that, how ironic it is to ban a communist party, while legalizing dope (the actual term they used) at the same time..
So no, nothing like anything you (and much more me) wished for..
And the thought of potential taxing and profit for our economy makes it sooo irritating!

Dam I was packing to leave.
