Yes!
This is the direction that we all should be moving in.
25 grams per person is a reasonable amount, but then again, what would happen if someone had 50 grams of the same substance . Is it suddenly a crime?

Weed is grown by nature from this earth and sun and water.
No government has any right to limit the amount I possess.

So, good progress, unquestionably, but not far enough.
 
I'm just reading the wiki on Uruguay and I gotta say I had no idea how progressive there politicians seem to be.

Now i wonder whats so different about them in Uruguay that allows their politicians to look at things open mindedly and come to OBVIOUS conclusions that our politicians take years to get at.

Dont those idiot politicians in America, mexico, UK,Canada (basically any country with idiot drug laws and not even mentioning some Asian countries retardedly harsh laws) realise how stupid their going to look when the rest of the world legalizes pot and these supposed "leading super powers of the 21st century" are stuck yelling at each other about weather or theres a chance that it will make you more prone to become something as already poorly understood as schizophrenia
