Tomorrow Uruguay Legalizes Marijuana, First Nation In The World To End Marijuana Prohibition

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 
As soon as tomorrow afternoon votes are expected in the Uruguayan House of Representatives which will cast the country into the lead to become the first country to official end cannabis prohibition.
 
The country’s president, José Mujica, and the ruling party in the Uruguayan Senate, Frente Ampli, are also public supporters of replacing cannabis prohibition with a state monopoly on cannabis commerce.
 
 
I am a huge supporter of the legalization of Marijuana.  I was good friends with mary jane for over 6 years and though we no longer talk to one another, I think very kindly of her and am glad we spent so much time together.  Marijuana is less harmful than Soda.  Why its illegal still is beyond unfathomable but im sure it has everything to do with money and the scumbag powers that be.  Good for you Uruguay.
 
On a side note, the President of Uruguay, who leads the charge to legalize it in his country is this man:
 
Peace.  -Mort

      Drugs are for losers. Potheads become fat, lazy, apathetic people who only care about getting high. Long term abuse leads to permanent IQ loss in minors and temporary IQ loss in adults.

      • dahowa

        Nobody is encouraging kids or anyone else to smoke pot, but you’re basing your comment on “Reefer Madness”, apparently. I know plenty of smart, successful adults who smoke pot the way other adults drink beer. In moderation.

        The more salient point is that nobody should ever be locked up for smoking pot. And the vast majority of people who are locked up are moderate users. If you are an adult, you should appreciate that you can make your own decisions without government interference and certainly without police interference.

        Drug warriors are willfully ignorant stooges for the prohibition industries. These drug war fascists are nasty and mean and don’t care how many more peoples lives they ruin (a lot more than drugs ever could). They don’t have any sense of proportion. This drug war has led to for-profit policing and for-profit incarceration.

        • gapatriot

          Yes the drug stooges dont care whose life they ruin.I know they ruined mine.I was convicted of possession over 30 grams,a class D felony,I lost my home,my job,my 401k.Now I dont know what Im supposed to do to support myself.Nobody wants a felon for an employee.Oh there was no other drugs involved and no weapons,and no selling.SO go ahead peeps blame me for my choice,I bothered nobody,I donated to charities and helped everybody out that I could.I put a daughter through college to be a teacher for grade school children.Now Im just a unemployable non person.I guess I will do like others and start living off of the system,thanks for your hard earned tax dollars,now I can eat free,get free housing,free medical care,I get a stipends check from daddy unkle obama,and Im trying to scam my way into getting disability.So if you think giving your hard earned tax dollars for me to lay aroiund and do what I want to do,no alarm clock,no worries,just check the mail and wait for your tax dollars to come to me.
          I used to be a tax paying citizen till I was convicted of possession.So who’s busting there ass to make a living and who is having there living given to them??? I may not like it but its all I can do,I cant work and contribute to society anymore because of the stupid marijuana laws in the usa.
          Thanks all you hard working time clock punching peeps.Work more I need more government benefits.

        Yea, I’m quite the loser.

        I’ve been using cannabis for well over 20 years as a successful business owner and software engineer.

        Yea, I’m really lazy.

        I built a business from scratch… built our home… maintain a half-acre garden while raising 6 honor roll students.

        Yea, I’m apathetic.

        I spend much of my free time talking to politicians about what is really happening in the world, and how we can change it. I donate time and money to worthwhile causes.

        Yea, I only care about getting high.

        That’s why I’ve accomplished everything I have.

        No, for reality. Cannabis (safer than tylenol), allowed me to control my anger, something I struggled with my entire childhood. Cannabis allows me to sleep at night as an insomniac sufferer. It gives me energy and motivates me. I smoke a J and go to work (writing computer code or working in the garden).

        The ONLY negative side effect I have EVER experienced with cannabis, was the side effect of getting knocked upside the head by a police officer. :!:

        lol you moron..thats what fluoride and gmo food does to humans not a natural plant you fuking liberal scumbag!!!!!!!!!!!

      • Sid

        You are far more likely to have a reduced IQ from lack of iodine or from ingesting fluorine in the form of fluoridated water, toothpaste, and dental treatments. Fluorine is a more powerful halogen than iodine so it drives iodine out of our bodies, magnifying the deficiency many people have just from lack of iodine in their diets. Even the federal government has reached the conclusion in studies it funded that fluoride reduces IQ.

        Worry about what affects you instead of concerning yourself with something that is none of your business. There are plenty of idiots in the world and this is not your business.

      • Fianna

        You “MUST smoke it by the ton then :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

      • Anonymous

        you obviously have not done your homework with respect to the “effects or causes” of cannabis use … WRONG answer anonymous …

      • Psullivan

        Like Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympian…ever. Sell your crazy somewhere else.

      Wow. I’d like to know where you get your information. I’m 45 years old and made a decision a few years ago to return to school. I am now 16 weeks from earning a chemistry degree and I have smoked almost daily for 30 years. I’m also 6″ tall and weigh 220 lbs. I believe you are the one who needs an education…

      “I used to be on approximately 14 different prescriptions and I would still have up to 12 seizures a day,” says the woman to the PBS reporter. “I used to take two handfuls of pills. No more. I’m not using [marijuana] to get any psychological effects off of it, I’m just eating the butter raw with bread.”

      depression, and insomnia. That’s one medicine they can use instead of five.”

      Look into the history of Hemp and see the real reason why the government made it illegal. It’s always about the money. Hemp has many uses, not just smoke! The government removed all traces of hemp farming from all the museum’s and history.

      Wake up peeps!!!!

        Car that was made and runs on hemp, has to be one of the best uses for hemp I’ve ever come across lol.
        “* Henry Ford’s first Model-T was built to run on hemp gasoline and the CAR ITSELF WAS CONSTRUCTED FROM HEMP! On his large estate, Ford was photographed among his hemp fields. The car, ‘grown from the soil,’ had hemp plastic panels whose impact strength was 10 times stronger than steel; Popular Mechanics, 1941.”

    • Cautious Gautious

      Uh oh, regime change on the horizon.

    • Sid

      Before we cheer them for promoting freedom, let us recognize that a state monopoly on the manufacture and sale of any product is not freedom. It is prohibition of freedom in the market place for that product.

      But better that they operate a monopoly than operate prisons to put people who self medicate in prison.
