The laws here are pretty liberal. Recreational use of marijuana is illegal but personal possession of small amounts is a non-criminal offence (misdemeanour). Since personal possession is a misdemeanour anyone charged with this doesn't get his or her name on a criminal record.
Medical marijuana has been legal in Czechland since 1 April 2013. It's imported from the Netherlands which means the prices are high because it is not covered by health insurance. Few pharmacies even have a supply on hand.

Up to 15 grams, or 5 plants, of marijuana
Up to 5 grams of hashish
Up to 40 pieces of magic mushrooms
Up to 5 tablets of LSD
Up to 4 tablets of ecstasy
Up to 2 grams of amphetamine
Up to 2 grams of methamphetamine
Up to 1,5 grams of heroin
Up to 1 gram of cocaine
Selling more than a small amount of marijuana is punishable by up to one year in jail and/or a fine up to 15.000 Kč (€550). For other drugs it is up to two years in jail plus a fine. There are stiffer sentences for production or trafficking.
After marijuana the most widespread drug is pervitin (meth). Apparently it is regularly smuggled from Czechland into Germany and Austria.
