Uruguay becomes first country to legalize marijuana trade

"Cannabis consumers will be able to buy a maximum of 40 grams (1.4 ounces) each month from licensed pharmacies"

Bullshit, man! What the fuck is a person supposed to smoke the remaining three weeks of the month?

hahahaha.

ay que rico

you pay the old lady across the street a couple pesos for her supply.

Hopefully this will help to sabotage Uruguay's team in the World Cup..

Seeing as we are already at war with drugs I think we should declare war on Uruguay.

:D:D:D

I am going to watch big lebowski.

I meant hopefully the team themselves get a little half-baked and slip in their play ;)

You guys moving to Colorado soon?

Probably not. But more incentive to visit a friend out there :p

i live right next to colorado and i have friends there, plus with the great beer and beautiful sights and things to do, how can one say no.

Great beer AND quasi-legalized pot? If it weren't for a combination of hipsters salt-and-peppered in between some surprisingly country-fried racism on one side, and then insane militia type right-wing extremism and conspiracy paranoids out there, I'd gamble on moving to Colorado! That, and I'm generally skeptical of any of the legalization movements in the US, its like wait, hold up, where's the catch? It might just be the underground toker in me, shit, I might just be smoking some good weed and a bit paranoid, but I'm not particularly into the Emperor's new cloths, be it the "medical" movement in California or this burgeoning state legalization in Washington and Colorado. I think Washington might stick, because its not retail, but those store-fronts in Colorado that made international news on New Year's Day surely can't flaunt against the Feds for too long now.

There's something in the air, NY Gov Cuomo is making moves to set up a distro system for med mar.

SNL had a funny joke about how tons of stoned college students bought plane tickets to go spring break in Paraguay.

The US will not fully legalize until the people that control cigarettes gain control of the weed supply.

whaa? No way! Smells fishy.

Nice post. Especially about that catch. I have same feeling too.

Its called a set up. All these "medical" clubs be luring the underground green thumbs into the spotlight and when they get raided by the Feds (which they all inevitably do) suddenly the little black book shines a spotlight in the crevices. A lot of good people have been fooled into that trap. People who were just dying to pretend they could some how become legitimate, and instead? #CaughtUp

I got it. I love it. It is my sci-fi herb dreams come true. I live in the future. The future is now.

I prefer to keep old school

I dunno, I think Cuomo is sniffing out some tax revenue and job creation. of course, toyour point, the next election comes around, it could all go backwards. I understand in CO right now one of the big problems is dealing with the cash - banks won't take the money because of the fucking federal govt. Perfect example of the Federal Govt suppressing free enterprise and states rights.

Haha.. job creation? Tax revinue? What could create more jobs than wrongfully imprisoning upwards of 500,000 large time growers/distributors?

Further, lets be perfectly honest, the reason that the government instituted prohibition 90 years ago was because there is simply NO way to regulate cannabis growing, its just too damned easy to DIY at home. It is a felony with considerable jail time to violate ATF regulations and grow tobacco at home too, but tobacco isn't easy to grow and harvest home, so nobody really does it, and those who do are marginal. Cannabis? Well shit, it represents by many estimates to be TEN PERCENT of the economy of California which by itself is the FIFTH LARGEST ECONOMY IN THE WORLD. So the Feds REALLY want to keep control of their black market through a system of corruption and coercion and if all else fails confiscation and redistribution. Through taxes the government can only collect a small proportion of the income of growers and distributors, through prohibition the government and seize 100% and even then some through punitive measures like fines..

Old school is good too, but it makes a strong smell, can burn your upholstery, and is more easily noticed by the pigs

Maybe I'm spoiled living in California but we have essentially the "zero-priority" enforcement that made it quas-legal in Vancouver, Canada for so long. Essentially, the pigs ain't tripping. In fact, here in LA more people openly smoke pot in public than do cigarettes!

lucky. I live in Texas

Colorado Airports now set up areas for people to legally dispose of weed before they board a plane

Folks are stupid. So long as you aren't bringing a huge bag, you can easily sneak a good amount in your carry on, it doesn't show up that obviously on the x-rays and further the security aren't particularly looking for it. Interesting because of the situation in Washington/Colorado as well as the 20 states with "medical" the TSA website already mentions explicitly that airport security is under "Federal jurisdiction" and all cannabis, even medical, will be confiscated and federally enforced. Of course the website goes out of its way to mention, "That airport security screeners are not looking specifically for marijuana or other drugs.." I got a laugh out of that when I first read it.

Here is what I'm thinking, what dumbfucks are trying to bring too much on a plane in the first place? Now even if the airport police let you dump it like they do water bottles and bic lighters in the line at security, why waste it? Just don't bring that much in the first place!

Also, much as with the retail shops in Colorado, I predict this excessive flaunting in the face of federal laws is too much, and the feds will step in in Colorado and nullify these laws and step up enforcement through federal policing. Its what they've been doing in California for a decade now, quietly raiding and shutting down the vast majority of "medical" dispensaries and grow operations one at a time. Oregon has averted this federal invasion by NOT allowing for dispensaries. Washington would be smart like Oregon and be quiet about their legalization rather then being braggarts..

it's more eco to keep the economy in the region

intelligent models are mostly not understand and an agressive group starts to lobby to push forward their economy or plan to cash up later

please use IQ, modern time
