Uruguay's Cannabis Law

Uruguay’s Cannabis Law, enacted in 2013, legalizes the regulated production, sale, and use of marijuana. Adults over 18 can purchase cannabis from licensed pharmacies or grow a limited number of plants at home. Personal use in private spaces is allowed, and recreational users can join authorized clubs. The law aims to reduce illegal drug trafficking, promote public health, and provide safer access to cannabis. It also includes restrictions on advertising and possession limits, ensuring a controlled and transparent legal framework for responsible use.
