hi, I´m an american living in spain and taking spanish for the next 3 weeks (I´ve been here for 3.5 already) and I have my medical mj card in colorado (my home state).
Yesterday I was stopped by two undercover police officers who searched me (due to the language barrier I was only able to understand some of what they said. They took my name and birthdate and confiscated the personal amount of mj and chocolate that I had. I didn´t have my card with me, so I could not show it to them, though I´ve heard that it won´t do much here. they have my phone number and are planning on calling me today to find out my address here to get me the ticket they plan on sending, but they also said it wouldn´t matter, since it would not be analyzed and sent out until after I return to the US, so my only concern is that my host mom here (very conservative) may tell my professors from my home university about this and cause trouble at home, though it´s more likely to simply hurt her impressions of me.
I´m not worried about the financial ramifactions of this, but I am concerned about whether I will be able to travel freely in Spain and other EU countries in the future. Do you have any advice on how I can avoid this getting to the immigration or border control? I offered to pay a fine right then and there, but they said no. I guess I´m wondering what my next step should be. I´m planning to try to give my american address so I am able to pay any fines once I return home even in order to avoid travelling problems in the future.
Thoughts?
Thanks so much!!

This is really good news, but I don’t favour at all basing a campaign in the “facts” mentioned by Carlos. Definitely, cannabis is a drug and there’s no way to deny it. Indeed, many drugs have medicinal value, but this has never been a sound argument for legalisation. The same happens with the imposiibility to get a lethal overdose from cannabis. I hope you’ll eventually get to a better approach to the question, since our government is getting tougher every time and we just cant’ wait for the Obama effect to get here. Anyway, welcome to Spain.
HOLA!!!!
Yes! Up & Running in Spain as it was the right moment.
Our campaing was based on two unsual facts about Cannabis hardly heard in Spain: 1. It never killed anyone and 2. It is not a drug but a medicine for millions of people.
We set the legal paper work right, mission, vission, campaing, web site, assistance to ExpoCannabis with our own stand (pics coming), press release, advertising material, research of medical cannabis in Spanish, travel and etc.
We managed to made it all in 2 incredible weeks and got our share on prime time national tv on a sunday.
And GRACIAS to everybody who put their heart and soul in this incredible adventure and putting a voice to responsable medical cannabis users that has been heard all the way to the top. En Español.
Talk about lazy potheads lol
Love you all!!!
Koolio, my wife teaches spanish and has been to Spain twice, she is very happy to hear this. If you need any translation help she said she can do Russ!
