Uruguay to Sell Marijuana for $1 a Gram
Will be first country to license and tax production

A law already passed in the lower house of Congress and expected to pass in the Senate later this year would make Uruguay the first country in the world to license and enforce rules for the production, distribution and sale of marijuana for adult consumers.
