South American country Uruguay is set to become the first country in
the world to allow its citizens to grow, sell, buy and smoke marijuana.
The country’s Senate began its final debate on the issue today Tuesday
Dec. 10th and claim they want to legalize it in a bid to take the
business from criminals.
If this bill, which has the support of majority of the House and the
president of the country, is passed, Uruguay will be the first country
to legalize a trade that is illegal everywhere else in the world.
After the trade is made legal, Uruguay will then draft regulations
imposing state control over the cultivation and distribution of
marijuana. Anyone who wants to go into the business would have to be
licensed and registered, with government monitors keeping tabs to
enforce limits, such as the 40 grams a month that any adult will be able
to buy at pharmacies for any reason.
