URUGUAY EYES 20/20 WEED VISION

MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay - Uruguayans will be able to buy up to 10 grams of
pot a week, enough to roll 20 joints, under new rules governing the
recently legalized marijuana trade in the country, a government source
said.

The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity because President Jose
Mujica has not yet decreed the new regulations, said the government
will auction up to six licenses to produce cannabis legally.

Mujica is expected to sign off on the rules in the coming days. He
proposed the landmark legalization law to undermine drug
trafficking.

Uruguay, the first country to legalize the growing and sale of
marijuana, is being closely watched by other countries debating drug
liberalization.
