I once laid down on a bench in Poland (Toruń, back ache, waiting for the Ibuprofen to kick in) – and in less than 10 minutes, I had a police car next to me asking what I was doing there...
When I was on university, I had 2 hour gap between lectures, so each Monday I was just circling around the campus to not sit in place. After half a year of doing that I shaved my head and was bald. The very next time few police cars was searching for me, because they were sure I want to steal something there xD
Using is always a crime. However, if you prove your use had no negative impact on society (usually involves proving that whatever you had was only for personal use) you can get the case dismissed.
Apart from how you look there are two important things here:
1) Over the years the police, prosecutors and courts just stopped enforcing it that hard. In the 90s the police would check the lint in your pockets under microscope for trace ammounts of cannabis, 20 years later they all grew up with it, haver friends who smoke and basically don't care.
2) Medical cannabis is legal and since everyone who wants can get it it also means that only underage users aren't doing it legally.
