Uruguay legaliseert cannabis

Recommended Posts

Het blijft vreemd dat je als regering denkt het recht te bezitten om natuur te verbieden of te legaliseren.

Ik denk dat die natuur dat zelf wel kan uitmaken, daar heeft ze ons niet bij nodig.

What will happen now in Chile?

 

This country too is overrun with marijuana from Paraguay and is, like Uruguay, home to progressive-thinking politicians, notwithstanding some ultra-Catholic, very conservative factions who would oppose any change in the status quo. In Chile, when the police make major arrests, for some reason they call the pot cannabis sativa. Either that has become short-hand for word marijuana of any type or there is no knowledge of cannabis indica.

 

Change is on the horizon in Chile. Socialist President Bachelet will return to office in March for her second term all but assured of winning the Presidential election run off this Sunday. In the first round of the elections her supporting coalition of centrist and left-wing political parties won sizable majorities in both houses of congress. These include many young persons who are members of the Communist party who rose up from the ranks of the recent student protests.

 

Early in the election season, candidate Bachelet would not answer directly when pressed on her position on marijuana. But this week on television she said the law needs to be clarified as too many youth are in jail. She made reference to something similar to: “you can smoke it but not procure it, which is a contradiction.” The current law allows for growing and smoking but only for personal use and only at home. The definition of what is “personal” as opposed to “trafficking” is up to the discretion of the judge. The student movement leaders, other political parties in the President’s coalition, and two Socialist Senators already in the congress all have called for making this distinction clear. One of these two Senators freely admits that he likes to smoke it himself.

The current President and the Minister of Health say that marijuana is a health and not a criminal matter. These two come from the moderate wing of their conservative coalition. The right wing has blocked action on modifying the current law (known as law 20.000), but the conservative government is on the way out.

 

At the top of the agenda for the new President is increasing taxes on businesses to pay for a free university education system. It was that promise which gained her the support of the powerful student movement. Sometime after that, look for the current marijuana law to be changed. The only logical way to change it would be to adopt the Uruguay and US model. To sanction use but not cultivation would invite continued smuggling from Paraguay and all the violence and corruption associated with that.

 

Het Domino-effect!

Uruguay marijuana move 'illegal' - UN drugs watchdog

The Uruguayan government hopes legalising the sale of marijuana will tackle drug cartels

Uruguay's decision to legalise the production, sale and consumption of marijuana violates international law, the UN drugs watchdog says.

The International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) warned that the move would endanger young people and "contribute to the earlier onset of addiction".

The new law will allow registered Uruguayans over 18 to buy up to 40g (1.4oz) of the drug a month.

The government hopes it will help tackle drug cartels.

INCB chief Raymond Yans said he was "surprised" that the government in Montevideo had "knowingly decided to break the universally agreed and internationally endorsed treaty".

At the scene

This was a huge victory for the cannabis-smoking community in Uruguay.

Hundreds of young people gathered outside Congress in Montevideo to follow the vote on a giant screen. Many shared a joint of marijuana with their friends. They partied amid reggae music and some waved marijuana leaves.

There was an atmosphere of celebration inside the Senate too, with dozens of supporters of President Mujica following the nearly 14 hours of the debate from the spectators' gallery.

But not everyone was happy about this law. Senator Pedro Bordaberry of the conservative Red Party told the BBC his country should not become a "guinea pig for Mr Mujica's experiment".

He said: "We used to be known for our excellent meat and football, now the world is watching us because of our marijuana."

In a statement, Mr Yans said claims the law would help reduce crime relied on "rather precarious and unsubstantiated assumptions".

The INCB is an independent body of experts established by the United Nations to monitor countries' compliance with international drug treaties.

After nearly 12 hours of debate on Tuesday, senators gave the government-sponsored bill their final approval, making Uruguay the first country in the world to legalise the production and sale of marijuana.

Dozens of supporters of the bill proposed by the left-wing President Jose Mujica gathered outside the Congress in Montevideo to follow the vote.

Presenting the bill to fellow senators, Roberto Conde said it was an unavoidable response to reality, given that the "war" against drugs had failed.

"We have the duty as the state to give a specific answer to an open territory, small and non-producing," Mr Conde said, adding that Uruguay's borders were used by cartels to smuggle drugs into neighbouring countries.

But many senators also spoke out against the bill, before it was passed by 16 votes to 13.

Opposition lawmaker Alfredo Solari said Uruguay should not "experiment" on its people.Debate continues

The project had already been approved by Uruguay's lower house in July.

The historic approval comes amid growing debate over drug legalisation in Latin America.

A group of former presidents and influential social figures, including Brazil's Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Mexico's Ernesto Zedillo and Colombian ex-leader Cesar Gaviria, have called for marijuana to be legalised and regulated.

But President Mujica recently asked during an interview why the former leaders only spoke out about the legalisation of marijuana after they had left office.

In July, without naming Uruguay directly, Pope Francis criticised drug legalisation plans during a visit to Brazil.

In new york vang je de hoofdprijs, dus als je het voor 75 cent per gram op de kop kunt tikken en naar new york kunt sluizen..

 

Maar in die landen is coca lucratiever, maar de vraag naar cannabis is groter.

hmmm.. doet me denken aan de discussie over marktwerking.

 

Zo ver hoef je niet te gaan en geexporteerd zal er worden als de rest van de omliggende landen aan dat verbod vasthoudt. Daarnaast bestaat er zoiets als 'Mexico' en daar wonen lui die niet vriendelijk reageren op een dergelijke concurrentie en het liever allemaal zelf doen.

 

Maar dan even die 'marktwerking'. Welke kweker regelt er hier z'n eigen export? Dan doen er maar weinigen omdat je dan op eigen kracht nogal wat volume moet maken en niet iedereen kan dat, wil dat, etc etc. Risico's zijn ook groot. Exporteurs zijn vaak opkopers die partijtjes verzamelen en bundelen tot een grotere hoop. Die exporteurs in Uruguay zullen in hun handen wrijven met een straatwaarde van 75cent en die zullen echt niet het idee krijgen om zelf te gaan kweken als anderen het risicoloos voor je kunnen doen. Commerciele kwekers daarentegen zitten te kijken met een lagere straatwaarde en een bult concurrentie.

 

Maw. het is alsof ze in Uruguay de productie naar China verhuizen.Daar wordt alleen de baas slimmer van, de consument heeft z'n meuk maar van een iets lagere kwaliteit en alle inheemse werknemers zitten werkeloos thuis.

Wiet gaat 2€ p/g kosten http://www.vice.com/...s-violent-crime Is wel een eerlijke prijs!

 

Under the new legislation, the price of marijuana will be set at one dollar per gram, aiming to undercut the current price of $1.40 on the illegal market.
