Uruguay is to legalize marijuana through it;s government this week. What this means, is that Uruguay will become the first country to legalize the drug for production, sale & consumption. All that has to be done is the signing of the bill by president Jose Mujica. Mujica has been a long time supporter of legalizing the drug. He is the one that introduced the proposal to the government only a year ago, and having the act signed into action this past July. He claims that legalizing the drug will cut drug trafficking. This will also lower the price of the drug on the black market, which over time will destroy that economy.
