Permitirán hasta 8 plantas de marihuana
Nacional Permitirán hasta 8 plantas de marihuana Acuerdan proyecto que legaliza cultivo para uso personal
VALERIA GIL
El Frente Amplio (FA) acordó un proyecto de ley para regular el consumo de marihuana. El nuevo texto se ajustó entre el Movimiento de Participación Popular (MPP), el Partido Socialista y el Nuevo Espacio (NE).
La iniciativa, que será aprobada el martes 26 de abril por la bancada del FA en Diputados, permite la plantación, el cultivo y la cosecha así como la industrialización y el comercio de hasta ocho plantas de cannabis por hogar.
Sin perjuicio de ello, "se entenderá como cantidad destinada al consumo personal, hasta 25 gramos de marihuana", según se establece en el artículo 3 del proyecto de ley al que accedió El País.
Además la norma le confiere al Poder Ejecutivo la facultad "de reglamentar las disposiciones y los mecanismos de acceso a las semillas, el que siendo destinado a plantaciones de consumo personal "se considerará en todos los casos como actividad lícita".
El proyecto prevé que el ciudadano que produzca materia prima o sustancias a partir de la marihuana, que causen dependencia psíquica o física, será castigado con una pena de 20 meses de prisión a diez años de penitenciaría.
Quedará exento de responsabilidad el que "transportare, tuviere en su poder, fuere depositario, almacenare o poseyere una cantidad destinada a su consumo personal con arreglo a la evaluación de la prueba de acuerdo a las reglas de la sana crítica".
Por otra parte, otro de los artículos agregados en el nuevo texto establece que "el Poder Ejecutivo velará porque, tanto a nivel público como privado, se brinde atención y tratamiento a todas las personas con problemas de adicción a las sustancias reguladas en la presente ley, que así lo solicitaren".
Asimismo, se establece la creación de una comisión bajo la órbita del Ministerio de Salud Pública (MSP), la cual en un plazo de dieciocho meses a partir de entrada en vigencia de la ley deberá presentar un informe evaluatorio de los efectos de la norma.
Además entre otras funciones, dicha comisión se encargará de desarrollar "actividades tendientes a mejorar la imagen social de quienes consumen las sustancias antes referidas".

Since I'm a fan of marijuana and the Uruguay National Team too, I just had to run this through the translator to see what it says!
VALERIA GIL The Frente Amplio (FA) agreed a draft law to regulate the use of marijuana. The new text was adjusted between the Movement of Popular Participation (MPP), the Socialist Party and the New Space (NE). The initiative, to be adopted on Tuesday 26 April by the bench of the FA in the Lower House, allowing the planting, cultivation and harvesting and industrialization and trade up to eight cannabis plants per household. Notwithstanding the foregoing, "shall include quantity for personal consumption to 25 grams of marijuana," as defined in Article 3 of the bill agreed that El Pais. Addition, the regulation gives the Executive the power "to regulate the provisions and mechanisms for access to seeds, which being intended for personal consumption plantations" will be considered in all cases as a lawful activity. "The project expected to city to produce raw materials or substances from marijuana to cause psychological or physical dependence, is punishable by a sentence of 20 months' imprisonment to ten years imprisonment.Relieved of responsibility which "transports, has in its possession, regardless depositary keeps them in stock or owns a quantity for personal consumption in accordance with the evaluation of the test according to the rules of sound criticism." On the other hand, another of the items added in the new text states that "the Executive Branch shall ensure that, both public and private, providing care and treatment to all people with addictions to substances covered by this law that so request. " It also establishes a committee under the aegis of the Ministry of Public Health (MSP), which within a period of eighteen months after enactment of the law must submit an evaluation report on the effects of the standard. In addition, among other functions, the committee will develop "activities aimed at improving the social image of people who use the aforementioned substances."

Don't know how their legal system works. For all we know, this may have no chance of passing.

I've read from an activist from Uruguay that this measure has the mayority on the Parlament to pass, that is why is making so much noise in the news.
This is great news for all South America, here in Chile Piñera's conservative goverment is as Reagan's, every time the debate shows up all the goverment says is "Just say no, we have to save our children, drugs are bad", etc.. even tough we are the country with the highest rate of drug use in all SA.

8 plants... LOL.
It's like some made-up dreamland legislation proposed by a pothead.

Why restrict it to only 8 plants though? Too much smells good everywhere or what?

In Argentina marijuana has been decriminalized a while ago, too. You are free to grow and have it in amounts deemed fit for personal use. How much exactly that is I don't know, but it is evident that with the new-found self-confidence of the South American countries with people the like of Morales, Lula/Rouseff and Chavez in charge they aren't bending over for the US and their silly war on drugs any longer. Kudos to my peeps over there. Emancipate and advance.

It's a reasonable amount considering you can grow it in your front yard without being hassled. 8 plants outdoors with proper care can get huge. Also indoors you could have 8 garbage cans full of soil under HPS and get giant plants that way too. Those eight "plants" with the right conditions could grow to the size of trees and supply beyond what one household could smoke up by itself.

I suppose one reason for limiting the amount you're allowed to sell is so people don't have commercial operations, which is to say... that even if drugs had never been illegalized or had a stigma attached, they probably wouldn't want people going around selling these substances and making huge amounts of non-taxed money off the books etc.
Either way... cannabliss all round I suppose

Im not going to use my weed just for smoking.
I need lots of pot plants, for making my own compost, and bio diesel shit like that. Who can say it should be illegal for me to grow a hundred pounds of weed to see if it makes good compost?

There are many links, if you google Uruguay + Cannabis in last 24 hours. It's been in the works since early this year, there are three main political parties in Uruguay, and all 3 proposed legalization bills, today, all 3 came together and agreed on this one compromise bill between the 3 parties. Brazil apparently is also set to soon legalize, but I know less of their situation.

cannabis is best for getting high, atleast the buds are. all the leftovers can go to hash or your compost shizzy.
hemp is for everything else that doesn't involve getting high.

Maybe you should check your EGO in at the gate, leave all your fantasy-complaints there as well, and just enjoy the fact that someplace, somewhere, cannabis has actually been legalized. Its not about your opinion buuuuuudy 
BE HAPPY !!!

In answer to psychoslut's complaint that the bill only accounts for cannabis cultivation, and not for hemp cultivation, it does also account for hemp cultivation, but only under the supervision of a government agency called MGAP, and really only for industrial sized quantities, in this particular bill anyway.
Also, at least one major politician here has already stated that he believes this is only a first step, and that he wants to amend the law soon after it goes into effect, to allow for more plants per house, as well as for the SALE of cannabis. This is the latest on the matter, new today. http://www.elpais.com.uy/110420/pnacio-561308/sociedad/polemica-por-el-alcance-del-proyecto-sobre-marihuana/
I want to add that, for home cultivation/public possession and consumption, you won't be required to obtain any permit/certificate/authorization/doctor's recommendation, nor will any fee/tax be involved. Legal to smoke cannabis in public without any card, and grow cannabis in your home up to 8 plants....I think this makes Uruguay's cannabis laws now the freest in the world.
