I think we should be able to grow our own, that said I don't smoke it at the moment. But if it was legal I would grow some. Like the article says - perhaps people would not want to buy it from the government if it's all kept on record exactly what any individual consumes!

ITs a move in the right direction, this kind of official licencing means the propoganda against marijuana ceases right from the top. So no more Uruguay equivelant of the mail spouting of about the dangers of "drugs" and lumping cannabis in et al!
