A march for marijuana legalization in Montevideo, Uruguay
The South American nation of Uruguay took a major step towards legalizing marijuana on Wednesday, as its house of representatives narrowly approved a law that will legalize the production, sale and consumption of weed. The law will now have to gain approval from that country's senate, where it is likely to pass. It will then have to be signed by President Jose Mujica, who's actually one of its main supporters.
Uruguay's pioneering move is expected to encourage other countries in Latin America and Europe to explore new approaches to drug policy and to test marijuana regulations that go beyond just prohibiting the stuff. Here are some of the countries who might consider being the next to legalize weed.
