Uruguay makes weed legal

[Grams and Ounces]

Uruguay has become the first country in the world to make it legal to grow, sell and consume marijuana.

After nearly 12 hours of debate, senators gave the government-sponsored bill their historic final approval.

The law allowing registered Uruguayans over 18 to buy up to 40g (1,4oz) of the drug a month is not expected to come into force before April.

The government hopes it will help tackle drug cartels, but critics say it will expose more people to drugs.

I think it is a sensible idea, that many people smoke weed it may as well be legal and taxable.

They need to just legalize it everywhere already. Alcohol and prescription drugs do more damage then weed ever has. I don't do none of this but honestly feel weed is the safest and least likely to ruin friendships, relationships or families. Not to mention many people who are older who drink would switch over to it because it is legal now. I can't tell you how many 40+ people have said they would rather smoke then drink but can't risk their job so they settle for drinking. Also, weed is very hard to get addicted to compared to alcohol or prescriptions (not all, some). I don't know one person who has said "I am done smoking weed" and had trouble not smoking it.

Isn't Uruguay full of forests? Would be cool to smoke an ounce of dank somewhere in the treetops and just hang out all day. Then trying to figure out how to get down once you're high as fuck, low on weed and need munchies.

D'Z, lets make it a date?

Make a tree house. Then get so stoned, you'll think you can walk from tree to tree in midair and....you get to meet Dio.
