URUGUAY: Marijuana regulations enter force
Uruguay has taken a decisive step towards enacting the law legalising marijuana. On 2 May the government issued a decree containing 104 articles regulating the production, distribution and sale of marijuana. This is the small print which will make the theory a practical reality.
