Uruguay Become The First Country To Legalise Marijuana by autofreak2020(m): 8:38am On Dec 11, 2013 |
Uruguay has become the first nation to legalise the growing , sale and smoking of marijuana after the country's Senate gave final approval to the legislation . After a long debate on Tuesday, 16 of 29 senators voted in favour of the law championed by President Jose Mujica . The legislation is aimed at wresting the business from criminals in the small South American nation . Backers of the law , some smoking joints, gathered near Congress holding green balloons , Jamaican flags in homage to singer- songwriter Bob Marley and a sign saying : "Cultivating freedom , Uruguay grows. " Cannabis consumers will be able to buy a maximum of 40 grams each month from licensed pharmacies as long as they are Uruguayan residents over the age of 18 and registered on a government database that will monitor their monthly purchases. When the law is implemented in mid- April , Uruguayans will be able to grow six marijuana plants in their homes a year, or as much as 480 grams , and form smoking clubs of 15 to 45 members that can grow up to 99 plants per year . Registered drug users should be able to start buying marijuana over the counter from licensed pharmacies in April. But Senator Roberto Conde, a former deputy foreign minister with the governing Broad Front, said marijuana "is already established in Uruguay . It 's a drug that is already seen as very low risk and enormously easy to get ." Other countries have decriminalised marijuana possession and the Netherlands allows its sale in coffee shops, but Uruguay will be the first nation to legalise the whole chain from growing the plant to buying and selling its leaves . Several countries such as Canada, the Netherlands and Israel have legal programmes for growing medical cannabis but do not allow cultivation of marijuana for recreational use . Last year, the US states of Colorado and Washington passed ballot initiatives that legalise and regulate the recreational use of marijuana . http://m.aljazeera.com/story/2013121112048192439 5 Likes

As they are ready to invest in this project, let them be ready to build more psychiatric hospital because they will start having mentally challenge people in their country. When others are busy looking for better things to produce and export, they are busy enacting laws for marijuana. Very soon they will start looking for countries to export it to. I know people like Terry G will like to visit this country. 3 Likes |

a very good move.... now undergraduates can walk up to a pharmacy & get their quality substance instead of buying contaminated stuff that kills them on the streets. the rest of the world should follow suit. marijuana is medicinal GustavoFring: They need to Legalise this law here in the UK. it was downgraded to class C between 2004 & 2009. possession of low quantity for use cannot lead to an arrest but distributing it could lead to an arrest then it was later upgraded to a class B drug. 1 Like |
