Uruguay Is Close To Becoming The First Country With A State-Controlled Marijuana Industry

Published August 1, 2013 | By Business Insider

Uruguay has effectively sealed the passage of a groundbreaking marijuana legalization bill that puts production, distribution, & sale of the drug in the hands of the state, making it the first country ever to do so.

The bill has drawn criticism from the United Nations, which supports interdiction. And speaking just days ago in neighboring Brazil, warned against the “liberalization of drugs.”

But analysts believe the move by lawmakers’ action in the small Southern Cone nation could mark the beginning of the end for conservative drug policies worldwide.

“Uruguay is leading the charge with this sophisticated approach,” says , a drug policy expert at the Washington Office on Latin America, a Washington-based organization that promotes human
rights. In a note to journalists, Mr. Walsh moreover said Uruguay – whose population is just 3.4 million – was heading a “compelling alternative to the prohibitionist paradigm.”

The legalization bill, backed by President José Mujica, has been framed as , decrease health risks for consumers, & separate the marijuana & hard-drug markets.

The state will license & regulate private cannabis farms & then sell the marijuana at pharmacies. There will be a monthly limit of 40 grams per person & all consumers will have to register.

Giving the state control of production is “unprecedented,” says Beau Kilmer, a director at the RAND Drug Policy Research Center in California. “Not even [where cannabis is, in effect, decriminalized] allows large-scale marijuana production for the non-medical market,” Mr. Kilmer says.

Incorporating parts of another bill, Uruguay will moreover legalize home cultivation – with a maximum of six plants per household – & so-called “cannabis clubs,” thus institutionalizing a model used in the Basque Country, an autonomous territory in northern Spain. Clubs of up to 45 people will be allowed to grow marijuana, distributing it among members only.

The Broad Front, the ruling left-wing coalition, has just 50 of the 99 seats in the lower house & was made to sweat on the bill’s approval: One of its deputies had voiced his doubts & committed to a positive vote only yesterday evening.

The upper house, where the Broad Front has a comfortable majority, is expected to finalize the legislation’s passage in the coming months.
Bill is ‘barbaric’

Opposition politicians branded the bill “barbaric” yesterday. They complained it will encourage addiction and : A recent poll estimated two-thirds of people do not support the initiative.

Julio Bango, a Broad Front deputy, admitted the law will not solve all cannabis-related problems, yet said: “Each time a person moves from the black market to the regulated market, it’ll be a small victory.”

Meanwhile, the 40-gram limit & registry for users – controls not included in the Colorado & Washington state laws – have been labeled Orwellian by some marijuana legalization activists. But proponents of the bill say they are necessary steps to ensure supply does not significantly exceed demand, & so avoid contraband to neighboring countries.

Accompanying the liberal laws in Colorado & Washington, attitudes toward drug policy in Latin America have changed significantly in recent years: is currently contemplating the legalization of cannabis, & lawmakers in conservative Chile introduced a bill to legalize the drug last year.

“The trend is becoming irreversible,” argues Martin Jelsma of the Transnational Institute, a think-tank in . “The era of globally enforced marijuana prohibition […] is drawing to a close.”
