Uruguay’s Government Will Be Selling Pot at $1 per Gram
Uruguay’s drug czar announced his country’s plans to sell legal marijuana for $1 per gram.
A law that would make Uruguay the first country in the world to license and enforce rules for the production, distribution and sale of marijuana for adult consumers has already passed in the lower house of Congress and is expected to pass in the Senate later this year.
According to the Huff Post:
The El Pais newspaper reported Sunday that drug chief Julio Calzada says marijuana sales should start in the second half of 2014 at a price of $1.
He says the idea isn’t to make money, but to wrench the market away from illegal dealers. Calzada said in August that the price would be around $2.5 per gram.
Sales are for locals only.
