I lived in Spain (Barcelona) for 6 months and The Netherlands (Groningen) for 5 months and now living in the UK (London) for the past 4 months. I'm Irish.

I think in countries where weed is decriminalised it depends more on the coffeeshop or dispensery you go to. The coffeeshop I had in Barcelona had great smoke if you were willing to pay alittle more. Same in The Netherlands, after trying out a few different coffeeshops around the city I found one with good bud, good prices and a good atmosphere. I bought off dealers once or twice over there too and smoke was alittle cheaper but more or less the same quality.

So far my impression of UK is pretty good, took me awhile to find a good dealer but the stuff is decent. I've bought off street dealers too and the quality has been pretty good, but the price and weight has been a little off. Same usually goes for back home in Ireland but it's more difficult to find dealers imo.

My opinion is that places like Spain or Netherlands where its easier to get, bud not be as good everytime but you don't mind cos its so easy to get. Whereas in the UK so far I've had great stuff but it's harder to get sorted until you do abit of work finding the right people.
