President Obama on Nelson Mandela: "A man who took history in his hands, and bent the arc of the moral universe toward justice."
Now that Uruguay is set to legalize marijuana (weed) what do we expect?
Uruguay's Senate is expected to pass a law on Tuesday making the small South American nation the world's first to allow its citizens to grow, buy and smoke marijuana. Cannabis consumers would be allowed to buy a maximum of 40 grams (1.4 ounces) each month and would also be allowed to grow up to six plants of marijuana in their homes a year, or as much as 480 grams (about 17 ounces). They could also set up smoking clubs of 15 to 45 members that could grow up to 99 plants per year.
Along with Uruguay, other nations are considering marijuana law reforms.
Last month, Jamaica’s Parliament endorsed decriminalizing pot, and lawmakers in Morocco are drafting a plan to legalize marijuana cultivation.
"We've given this market as a gift to the drug traffickers and that is more destructive socially than the drug itself, because it rots the whole of society," the 78-year-old former guerrilla fighter told Argentine news agency Telam.
According to a recent opinion poll by Equipos Consultores, 58 percent of Uruguayans oppose legalizing pot, although that is down from 68 percent in a previous survey in June.
The U.N. International Narcotic Control Board (INCB) said that it was “very concerned” with the idea that Uruguay could legalize marijuana.
I hope the nigerian senate is Inspired by this kind move, today is child marriage bill, tomorrow is same sex bill who knows what will happen tomorrow...Only time will tell.
