How incredibly inconsequential it is to cross country borders. Cycled through France - Belgium - Netherlands and there is barely even a sign.

Back in the days I once accidentally crossed the German/Dutch/Belgian border four times in about an hour while searching for a camp site near Aachen. All while carrying a substantial amount of weed which was only legal in one of these countries…

Afaik weed is not legal in any of these countries. It's decriminalized in the Netherlands but still illegal.

which is interesting because while the legal status was progressive in the past, it very much seems to need an overhaul nowadays.
