Possession of small amounts of cannabis is decriminalized in Slovenia. This means that you might get a fine, depending on the amount you are caught with. This can be a fine up to about 200 euros if you are lucky, but can still also mean a couple of days in jail.

The people of Slovenia seem quite tolerant towards cannabis and especially the medical side of it. The government of Slovenia has been under pressure in the last few years to clarify its policy and come up with a more permanent form of legalization of cannabis. So far nothing has changed.
