Uruguay has fully legalized marijuana.

As much as I hate the idea of marijuana being legalized for personal reasons, I'm for it. This entire "medical marijuana" crap going on now is ridiculous. Every person under the sun can get a medical marijuana card in the states that support it "medically". It's a joke to say it's not "legalized" except for "medical" use in those states.

Assuming it doesn't open the door to other drugs that shouldn't be made legal being legalized, I'd support it in the states.
 
Welp time to move.

1 dollar a gram? Wow.

No words. Just wow.

As long as alcohol isn't banned (2 alcoholics and one of them was a wifebeater in the family, + aunt hit by a drunk driver and in permanent pain now) I'll keep rooting for pot to be legal everywhere, it's harmless in comparison.

I like to deal with stoned people as much as drunk people. Which is not at all.

That, and I have a cousin that started off as a major stoner. He progressed to become a heroin junky after throwing away a promising future in nursing school. This happened within 2 years of trying pot. He literally hopped from one drug to the next over 2 years until he hit heroin. He's lucky to be alive now, and in recovery.

I really don't like drugs or drunks. But from my understanding, despite what has been told to kids for generations, pot isn't much of a "gateway drug" when it's made to not be taboo.

If the government keeps tabs on it and actually follows through, I'm cool with it though. Especially if it cuts down on the cartels. Anything to take money from those evil people is fine by me.

By the way, here's a piece about Uruguay's president. Certainly an interesting guy.

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/dec/13/uruguay-president-jose-mujica

Such actions have won praise and – along with progressive policies on abortion and gay marriage – strengthened Uruguay's reputation as a liberal country. But Mujica is almost as reluctant to accept this tag as he is to agree with the "poorest president" label.

"My country is not particularly open. These measures are logical," he said. "With marijuana, this is not about being more liberal. We want to take users away from clandestine dealers. But we will also restrict their right to smoke if they exceed sensible amounts of consumption. It is like alcohol. If you drink a bottle of whisky a day, then you should be treated as a sick person."
