An increasing number of marijuana boutiques are opening in Uruguay, which was not only the first country in the world to legalize marijuana, but to create a regulated market for it. Under the law it’s possible to buy up to 40 grams of weed per month from pharmacies or grow it yourself. Many people don’t buy on the black market anymore. They grow pot at home or in the collective gardens of cannabis clubs, so part of the money that went to drug trafficking before is now going to the community, creating new jobs. teleSUR
