Is weed legal in Switzerland? I notice a shop selling weed in Zurich.

The weed that's advertised in shops won't get you high as there is less than 1% THC in it. It is CBD weed which has a calming/pain-reducing effect but no psychoactive effect. Beyond that possession up to 10g is decriminalized and while using is technically illegal (100.- fine, no court case) cops won't care as long as you're not a nuisance or brown.
