Tony Newman sent out a press release [12] for Drug Policy Alliance this week.
See some of our prior Uruguay stories here [13] and here [14]. Also, former Uruguayan Senator Margarita Percovich speaking at our 2003 conference, here [15]. (Ms. Percovich was in parliament at the time, and became a senator later. I believe she is doing human rights work now.)
This will be huge and historic news if it happens -- the first time a country has legalized marijuana outright, anywhere in the world -- a direct break with the international drug control treaties.
