Most Uruguayans are still opposed to marijuana legalization but support for the law has increased according to a LAMRI Report with data from the AmericasBarometer 2016/2017.
Hasta octubre de este año, 5.332 cultivadores de marihuana se registraron, como lo establece la ley. A eso se le suman 22 clubes cannábicos registrados en el Instituto de Regulación y Control de Cannabis, que pueden tener en total 990 afiliados (máximo 45 por cada uno). Además, hay dos licencias otorgadas a productores para poder cultivar y vender en farmacias y cada una de ellas tendrá un límite de producción de 2 toneladas anuales.
As part of the Latin American Marijuana Research Initiative (LAMRI), Dr. José Miguel Cruz, LACC’s Director of Research, Rosario Queirolo and María Fernanda Boidi released new findings about the marijuana legalization process in Uruguay. “Saying no to weed: Public opinion towards cannabis legalization in Uruguay” is available for reading.
