Members Of Uruguay's Parliament Have Passed A Bill To Legalise Marijuana. by tzetzefly(m): 10:39am On Aug 01, 2013 |
If it goes on to be approved by the Senate, Uruguay will become the first country to regulate the production, distribution and sale of marijuana. The measure is backed by the government of President Jose Mujica, who says it will remove profits from drug dealers and divert users from harder drugs. Under the bill, only the government would be allowed to sell marijuana. The state would assume "the control and regulation of the importation, exportation, plantation, cultivation, the harvest, the production, the acquisition, the storage, the commercialisation and the distribution of cannabis and its by- products". www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-23516966 |
