With Uruguay’s long-awaited rollout of legal marijuana now imminent in 2015, the South American nation began accepting applications from its botanists and ganjapreuners three to four months ago. And they’ve come out in moderate droves.
Thus far, at least 1,200 Uruguayans have registered with the country’s Institute for Regulation and Control of Cannabis to cultivate cannabis on their home soil. Those growers won’t be selling weed directly to patients, however, the nation’s law dictates patients must by their medicine through licensed pharmacies.
