URUGUAY-MUJICA

Uruguayan President Jose Mujica at his office in the government house in Montevideo, on September 5, 2012, during an exclusive interview given to AFP. Mujica said Wednesday that if parliament were to pass a groundbreaking bill allowing the state to sell marijuana, drug tourism would not be allowed. In an interview with AFP, Mujica said people buying the drug from the state will have to prove they are Uruguayan. The bill — which would be a first in Latin America — “is to resolve a problem that we ourselves have. We are not going to accept (drug) consumer tourism,” he said.
