Uruguay Will Sell Legal Marijuana For $1 Per Gram, Official Says 1

MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay (AP) — Uruguay's drug czar says the country plans to sell legal marijuana for $1 per gram, though he's given higher figures in the past.
A law already passed in the lower house of Congress and expected to pass in the Senate later this year would make Uruguay the first country in the world to license and enforce rules for the production, distribution and sale of marijuana for adult consumers.
The El Pais newspaper reported Sunday that drug chief Julio Calzada says marijuana sales should start in the second half of 2014 at a price of $1.
He says the idea isn't to make money, but to wrench the market away from illegal dealers. Calzada said in August that the price would be around $2.5 per gram.
Sales are for locals only.

If they get into the import business and charge other countries more, their country may grow rather wealthy.

wait--- so it's $1/g or is it $2.5/g??? or is $2.5/g the retail price... makes perfect sense to me, indoor growers are gonna hate it though. Haters gonna hate. If this stuff was legal it would make sense to use your indoor growing knowledge to breed/cross/back etc and clone rootstock for large outdoor farms. $450 a pound is still decent scratch for your effort compared to what you'd get for growing coffee or soybeans 
i guess the point will be, enough people inside the country will do it that outsider plantations governed by warlords and despots will not really have any clout in the market.

Cannabis really isn't worth more than $1 a gram, prohibition keeps the cost up but the plant its self is a weed. Should be worth as much as cabbage

Cannabis isn't grown commercially anywhere that I know of, hundreds of acres and industrial quality equipment to help with tending. Perhaps for top shelf bud it would be best to run on smaller projects with higher price range, but I know from 1st hand experience quality bud can be grown with the relative effort of a tomato.

Around here where the soil is pretty sandy and the farmers have been putting in drainage tile, I'm pretty sure if a person was religious about running all feminized seeds, they'd have a field full of top shelf el primo that they could harvest twice in a season. It's a cinch, you could keep the hoppers full on Case iH 8010 combines and be able to afford selling top self buds for affordable prices. Plus with the technology involved in the drying processes in bins, it would have time to cure, and you could simply sack it up and sell retail or load up the trucks and go all wholesale. Personally I'd opt for the smaller more tlc grow, simply because I have a great fondness for cannabis and would rather be there day in and day out to rear the skunky little buds, but there's definitely potential for large scale cultivation while still seeing a return.

REPOST. However I think that's awesome but I doubt they have very potent bud but who knows? . Hash and other extracts though could become big business there

South America has beautiful soil and plenty of hands to work the fields, they won't lack anything in the quality department.
Marijuana is a plant, a sturdy aggressive plant, its not rocket science.

$450 per pound is pretty decent. I'm sure that some people will specialize in producing high-quality buds. Also, I'm sure there will be changes later on to accommodate slightly higher prices for indoor product or very very high quality product.
If the government fills in all niches of the cannabis market (from low quality, low price to high quality, higher price), the black market will effectively be obsolete in that one nation.

Uruguay is NOT Mexico... Mexico's #1 export drugs are Meth, Heroin, and Cocaine-- unfortunately.
