Uruguay plans to begin legal marijuana sales of pot grown under government control by year's end, using cloned plants, President Jose Mujica said Wednesday.
Uruguay wants to make a "contribution to humanity" by legalizing marijuana but will backtrack if the "experiment" goes awry, President Jose Mujica told AFP in an exclusive interview.
Uruguay's President Jose Mujica said in an interview published Monday he is open to a referendum on a bill to have the government control and regulate marijuana sales and distribution.
Uruguay's president Jose Mujica was left red-faced on Thursday after disparaging remarks apparently aimed at Argentine counterpart Cristina Kirchner and her late husband were picked up by an open microphone.
