Way to go Uruguay!! Marijuana completely legal.
Uruguay Becomes First Country In World To Fully Legalize Cannabis:
Great Video clip.
Quote:
The bill passed on Wednesday effectively integrates elements of Colorado’s and Washington’s laws with innovations from Europe and provisions unique to Uruguay. Adults are permitted to cultivate up to six plants; cooperatives can provide marijuana for a limited number of members; and pharmacies can sell it. Sales to minors, driving under the influence and all forms of advertising are prohibited. This new model will be of great interest to advocates and legislators in other countries, and of course in the growing number of U.S. states in which a majority of citizens now favor legalizing marijuana.

Not sure they'll go that far, but I would imagine the US gov. Will take issue with their decision.

Every time it is suggested here... the US through the DEA funds lobbiests and propoganda ads to be unleashed on Canada.
They air commercoials on Cnadioan TV, they buy ad space in newspapers... they go whole hog.
Further the direct political pressure has been well documented.
THe US sees nothing srong with tryiong to impose its will upon the internal affairs of its enemies and "friends" alike.
Land of the free....should be called land of the rude butinski.
Watch...if Trudea keeps yapping about pot...the US government will begin to make comments during our next election in an atempt to influence the outcome.
When it comes down to it....to our friends in the south...we are all nothing more than Honduras, Nicaragua, Panamama, Afghanistan, Iraq etc etc .... to them...unless we behave exactly as they wish.
Look what happened when we chose to stay out of Iraq.

Wow, that might just be the dumbest thing I have ever read anywhere in my life. Congrats on your tunnel vision perspectives! I know a lot of people that smoke pot and run successful lives. It's marijuana...not crack cocaine bud.

Is tobacco or pot any worse than alcohol?

Is a drunk any more successful than someone who partakes in the bud? As with all things, there are those who may drink responsibly and live a productive life and there are many who smoke responsibly and live a productive life. Then there are those who allow these substances to ruin them and their families, that is the individual, not the substance.

I hope your kids become drug addicts. You are probably an alcoholic who thinks that is so much better.

Wow, some people are so judgemental...
Is it the term "illegal" that drives some of you to judge? If weed was legal, would it change your minds? There are far worse drugs out there, both legal and not.

Everyone that draws a hard line against weed should just be pushing for the prohibition of alcohol.
I know first hand what full blown alcohol abuse will do to a human body, and to a family. Even knowing what I know and seeing all the things I saw, and the eventual gruesome demise of this family member, I still don't think booze should be banned. The choices of my family member should not reflect on the rest of societies right to do as they please. This is also why I think pot should not be prohibited.
Now, clearly people disagree and think pot should stay illegal but why do you not want to see booze also banned. I absolutely promise you that nobody will die the way this particular family member died, with the abuse of pot. Pot simply cannot destroy a human body in such a grim way.
Alcohol is a poison and must be respected. We all know this. But if we are swinging the ban hammer around to say pot is so damaging, why not go after it all? Why not make more "progress" and take another harmful substance out of society?
I support personal responsibility and freedom to choose. I ask my above question to those that are so against pot but are fine with booze.

Ok this is the most insulting, ridiculous post I have ever seen on this forum. You even realize and read what you said to this man? I actually had a very good conversation with pottymouth after all this fiasco thread started and he is a stand up good man, same as Ken and CalgaryDave and many other good people on here. I consider you UK a very immature, unintelligent person who needs to man up and post an apology to pottymouth. EVERYONE here is entitled to their opinion and there is no need for such insult such as your post was. Gee whiz man, wth?? I am done with this thread. This person definitely should be banned from here. I am shaking my head in disbelief of how a debate can pull the worst outta some people, some people believe and stand for one thing as others do stand for the opposite but come on people there is no need for such degrading insults. Lets get back to what we all love...outdoors stuff, hunting, fishing, great pics and stories. My last post on this thread.

Before this thread self destructs, I would like to hear from Potty, Ken or any of the others against pot respond to my latest post above, without using the words retard or talking about prison. Simply the effects the two substances have on society and individuals and why they don't push for alcohol prohibition as well.

Hmmmm.....Wishing someone's kids become drug addicts isn't right. Wishing that someone's kids get thrown in jail for the rest of their lives because they have a joint in their possession isn't much better though.
Potty.....Under-aged kids can buy illegal pot just as easily as they can booze and cigs.....probably easier. Legalizing pot won't change that IMO.
How about someone eliminating the emotion and listing the pros and cons of legalization?

Poor Potty...he can dish it out but he can't take it... and he shouldn't have to because he is the picture of politeness himself?
Right.
Thats not what he demonstrated here.
Yes...the post in question was offside but was it any more offside than his posts calling people retards?
A term I might add that fell from grace socially at about the same time the "N" word did.
I would imagine that he lost the support of a lot of people opposed to legalization at the first instance where he began to refer to people as retards....simply because nobody wants to align themselves with that sort of ignorance...especially coming from a man that is a hypocritical purveyor of poison himself.
My thought is that by now he should understand that respect is a reciprocal thing.
If he wants to be treated with respect...he needs to demonstrate respect towards others and form fact based objective arguments rather than try to just shout down those in disagreement like a bullying schoolyard mouth piece.
I'm sure that if Potty had adopted a less angry and insulting approach to his argument...he wouldn't be flexing in the mirror or seeing his friends jump in in his behalf now.
The guys that you are blaming for this have...for the most part... a much better track record for constructive and respectful debate than he does.
You reap what you sow.

I have been to Uruguay and have friends there.
Had a great time there. I was at a meeting and I vividly recall that we had a reception, and they were pouring about 3 ounces of Scotch into everyone's glass--quite a party! Things livened up pretty fast!
I would happily go back......though I don't smoke either regular or 'wacky' tobacco.
I have mixed feelings about legalizing MJ.......though the so called 'war on drugs' has cost a mountain of money and victory is NOT in sight!
