 Uruguay wants to grow, sell cannabis

Uruguay's government has sent a bill to Congress that would allow the state to grow and sell marijuana, a move that President Jose Mujica says will cut crime associated with illegal drug trafficking.
The use of cannabis is already legal in Uruguay, one of Latin America's safest countries and a trailblazer on liberal lawmaking. The bill would regulate its sale and production.
Other countries in the region, like Colombia and Mexico, have struggled for years with killings and other violence linked to the narcotics trade. Mujica's government says the negative effects of pot smoking are less harmful than the violence associated with the black market, where it trades illegally.
Registered consumers would be limited to buying 30 grams (about 1 ounce) per month and foreigners would be banned from buying the drug to prevent the small country of 3.3 million people from becoming a hot spot for pot-smoking tourists.
The state's new role as official pot grower and distributor will be carried out "exclusively in the framework of a policy of damage reduction, while at the same time alerting the public to the dangers of using (the drug)", according to the bill.
Meeting the country's demand for marijuana will require annual production of about 27 tonnes, the government estimates.

Depends on the bud... I could survive on a 1/4oz per week if it was the right kind of smoke.
Definitely a preferable system to the clusterfuck in the UK.

Pretty sure not allowing foreigners to buy is due to foreign pressures.. The economic benefit of being a stoner hot-spot is pretty damn big.

Also, doesn't seem like Urugay *wants* to do this so much as they are.
Seems like they've been *wanting* this for some time now.

3g a day is nothing.
That's either 3 blunts (wake and bake at 8, gone by 12 noon) or 5-7 hours worth of smoking/vaping through bowls/pipes/bongs.
I smoke an ounce every two weeks, sometimes 10 days.
There are people who smoke nearly an ounce a day.
There are people who use ounces a day when it comes to tinctures or edibles.
