URUGUAY SETS LOW PRICE FOR MARIJUANA AT $2.50 PER GRAM * 2
    #18788288 - 09/02/13 04:34 AM (10 years, 5 months ago)



Uruguay, which recently passed legislation to legalize marijuana, has set the price at $2.50 per gram to undermine the black market. The senate is expected to pass the bill which sets this price to be later signed into law by legalization proponent, President Jose Mujica.

Related:  Uruguay Legalizes Marijuana

Though the countries of Portugal and the Netherlands have drastically reduced the penalties for marijuana use, Uruguay is unique because the government will have complete control over the entire marijuana industry. Individual citizens, cooperatives, and private companies can grow a specified amount of weed each month, though it may only be sold to consumers by state-run pharmacies. Purchasers will have to register with the state and will be limited to 40 grams per month.


It is feared that these regulations will not persuade cannabis consumers to leave the black market, which is where the $2.50 price comes into play. The price is on par with current costs on the black market, which will deter any resale of the product into the black market. furthermore, the marijuana that is cultivated by licensed individuals will have to meet certain standards, and will be of a much purer form than the marijuana being sold and consumed through the black market. As Uruguay moves ever closer to implementing full blown legalization of the plant for adult use, the world eagerly looks in to see whether it will be more effective than the US led War on Drugs.

40 grams a month, not enough for daily smokers. Might be enough if you could convince a non-smoking friend(s) to register and help you out.

40 grams is plenty, as long as it is good weed.  Not much though if they don't sell hash and ya wanna make some.

Depends on the weed. Most the shit I get an 8th will last me a week or two. But I only smoke a few hits a couple times a day. If I take more than 4 before work, I'm too high to work, and in the evenings, it just takes a few hits to make me forget what I'm watching durring the comercials. Lol. I don't need to fly to the moon every single day...

Or multiple friends, brilliant plan regardless.

I dont see why they need to restrict how much you can buy, alcohol isnt restricted?

This is the right approach.  Sadly, living in the US, we will probably not see this approach instituted here in our lifetimes.

Why?

We are being sold on drug legalization as "bro u'll get $500 trillion in tax money" instead of "the black market will dry up and people won't be getting murdered as much."  Sure, legalization proponents cite the putative demise of the US drug black martket as an argument for legalization.  They would be right if the US followed Uruguay's lead.  Instead, we want to charge people taxes that will still encourage a black market.  Why is there a black market for untaxed cigarettes?  Not because tobacco is legal.  Because it's expensive as shit due to taxes.  I think the net gain would be higher if we could stop the war on drugs but levy no taxes instead of continuing to spend so much money we don't have to do things like break down peoples' doors with militarized police assault squads and send helicopters over foreign countries to spray defoliants or put troops on the ground to make sure people there aren't growing something the DEA doesn't like.

The US sees this & other similar policies around the world working, but do you think the US will eat its hat on decades of pseudo-science backed domestic terrorism (i.e. The War On Drugs)? I doubt it. Until they have a way to pretend like they were right all along, they will give little thought to such beneficial policies as legalization of freedom.
