But that's the thing, getting it other ways can land you in trouble over here and I'm not entirely sure about Canada's stance on the subject. I think it's a bit shit that people get criminal records, even prison time.

Same here. Thing is, it is so commonplace a crime these days that nobody is actually prosecuted to the full extent of the law without their being some kind of ulterior motive. If a cop goes through the effort of collaring/detaining you for "smokin' the reefer", he's either not met his quota, has some kind of vendetta against you, or is just an authoritative asshole. I understand how in Ireland it might be different (smaller country, more traditional values, etc.), but weed tolerance in the US is pretty high. The time and expense of convicting someone to the full extent of the law for something as minute as possession is almost never worth it.
The few cops I've known personally weren't above getting blazed with their buds every now and again. Chances are, if a cop confiscates your weed, they'll let you off with a warning and just smoke it themselves.
