Uruguay legalizes pot

Lionel Wagner


The country of Uruguay is my country of the year for their brave decision to finally wage war and end the illegal drug trade that has been battled across the Americas. The brave decision to finally do something and legalize pot could only be started in a small country like Uruguay and hopefully other nations see he benefit of quitting their current practice of imprisoning addicts of weed that pose little danger to society. What did provide a danger was the illegal trade and distribution from territorial underground sellers that were usually backed by dangerous gangs and the faster their income is dealt with the quicker we can see their influences start to wane.

The drugs war accomplished nothing except getting more people in the system and enriching lawyers and courts al over the world. This is the basis of why it will take a little longer in America for people to see the light and example lit by Uruguay. Eventually a movement will form in America too as people get tired of seeing family members locked up for a crime that is increasingly be allowed elsewhere in the free world.
