Cannabis is de-facto decriminalized in Amsterdam and the netherlands, but it's not technically legal. They just won't arrest you for smoking it or having small amounts.
Weed is straight up legal in Germany. Like you can get a membership to a club and smoke to your heart's content. No "you won't get arrested but if you sell it you'll go to jail" thing. Also Saarbrucken is a shorter journey than Amsterdam from Paris (1 hr 50m vs 3hrs 30) by train.
But the Clubs where only allowed to start growing they supplys on 01.07.24, if they where lucky and the city not randomly decided to build a 4 squaremeter playground 50m away from them. So most of the current canabis that is around is still from illegal sources or from homegrowers and as a private person you are technical still not allowed to sell or even share it with other poeple, so if you visit me you have to bring your own.
Membership to a club? Just come to Canada. Buy top quality weed from any of our 100% legal stores and then go smoke it when and where you want!
Paris to Canada by train is too much of a hassle.
Not in Quebec, you have to be over 21, you can't grow it in your yard, you have to buy it from shitty gov stores that aren't allowed to tell you anything about the actual products and you can't smoke it in most public places.
We're lucky at least that Montreal is Montreal and we can do mostly what we want without being harassed by the pigs but our provincial government is a conservative trash pile that desperately needs to go.
Listen, I live in the UK and weed decriminalization is almost as far off as weed legalization here. I am jealous of the Germans.
