Uruguayan citizens and legal residents 18 or older may now register for licenses to cultivate up to six marijuana plants per household and harvest 480 grams a year, or join a marijuana growing club with 15 to 45 members and no more than 99 plants. Pharmacies are expected to stock government-approved marijuana cigarettes for sale by year's end. Licensed buyers will be able to purchase up to 10 grams a week or 40 grams a month, at a cost starting at about 90 cents a gram, to be adjusted to compete with illegal marijuana. - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
