Pot fumes: Mujica calls UN official, 'liar', after he accused Uruguay of 'pirate attitudes'
President Jose Mujica reacted furiously to the accusation of Uruguay as a 'pirate state' from the UN official in charge of drugs' control, who was protesting the legalization of marihuana and because allegedly he was never received by the Uruguayan leader. Mujica bluntly replied, leaving aside all nice talk, “tell that old man to stop lying and stop showing off to the stands”. Read full article

Dec 14th, 2013 - 11:18 am - Link - Report abuse 0This from an old man who lies and plays to the socially included lazy bastards who he has wasted a lot of money on to the despair of working people who pay their taxes so he can through it away.
Still the Pluna affair and other money sponges for his drunken Tupamaros Minister “mates” to soak up their share says it all.
Perhaps when Yans turns up in Uruguay Pepe can regale him of how he was “shot” six times by the police (still can’t understand that, they must have been using blanks) and as a murdering terrorist of a bunch only 3,000 strong at the height of their membership managed to ensure military leadership for the country. Bunch of stupid fuck-pigs there then.
NOW who’s the stupid, lying bastard?
Probably shot him in the thickest part of his body?

I'm not sure the greatest moment of any presidents term in office would be allowing the youth of your country to become legalised bag heads.

I have known several pot heads, heavy users of the stuff.

This stuff fries your brains no doubt about it.
Typical latino bluster. Mujica is 13 years OLDER than Yans. A leftie terrorist. Cannabis is DANGEROUS. As indicated @4, it creeps up on the user. Uruguay is going to regret his activities for years to come. What's he actually good at? Arse-licking Kirchners is all.

Trouble is now even more Losers and stoners will gravitate towards Uruguay. You won't be able to walk down the rambler without tripping over useless hippies and wannabe rastas selling crappy homemade jewelry and burning that nasty Sandalwood.

Have you guys heard what Mujica said? I'm quite sure it doesn't trannslate into “liar”...
With this, count on Uruguay leaving that 52 year old disgrace of an agreement.
Personally, what interests me the most, is the cáñabo...
paraguay will supply the best cannabis thetre is
Dec 15th, 2013 - 03:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0There is plentiful evidence to indicate alcohol has and is ravaging northern and eastern European nations, whose citizens lack self-control to drink responsibly (thus the stereotype of the drunken Irish, Scot, English, Russian, Pole, Czech, German, Swede, Finn, etc). Since they don't have this self-discipline, one would suggest humans should make alcohol illegal.
Dec 15th, 2013 - 05:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0That will surely kill he supply. Who on this star system would sell anything illegal in the black market, after all? And kill to get the monopoly on the substance.
Nah, never would happen. Earth is just like Nibiru!

My God, GBT is an alien!

You REALLY need to get a grip sunshine (or moonshine if you prefer).
Is it just me? Are all latino countries only able to act like amateurs?

4 reality check
The idea that cannabis causes any harm belongs to those rather limited individuals that blindly accept the
indoctrinated views of materials like “Reefer Madness”.
4 reality check
5 Conqueror.
The idea that cannabis is dangerous is purely your own personal opinion, as the British Indian Hemp Drugs Commission
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Hemp_Drugs_Commission
The La Guardia Committee
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Hemp_Drugs_Commission
Le Dain Commission of Inquiry into the Non-Medical Use of Drugs
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Hemp_Drugs_Commission
all refute such a contention
In the UK it is illegal to drive whilst under the influence of drugs and alcohol, I don't see any need to change the law as I am sure that it has saved many lives. It is it OK then in Uruguay to to drive and be completely off your head on cannabis and not face a conviction. Laws are for the majority to be protected not give in to the minority.

Dec 16th, 2013 - 01:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Driving under the influence of drugs is also illegal in Uruguay and will remain so under this new regime.
@18
Dec 16th, 2013 - 02:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Surely if you legalize cannabis then by inference more people will smoke it. Will they be hiring more police to combat the offenders that decide to drive whilst impaired as logically there will be more cannabis smokers on the roads.
@ 17, @ 18, @ 19
Dec 16th, 2013 - 03:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If only the people with death traps that they call cars could drive in the first place. They don't need cannabis to make even more of a pigs ear of their lack of driving skills.
Something must be happening in enforcement though because the number of these dreadful cars is reducing. I also chuckled at the thought that the car can be arrested in its own right by the Policia until I thought of these cretins so I thing the cars are banged up under arrest somewhere.
You can just imagine that cars with body panels missing, exposing the front suspension (just right to severe pedestrians body parts) are insured!
@ 16 Terence Hill
How’s this for a ‘limited, right wing, anal retentive’ view then?
If it were my decision, ALL drug dealers after one PROVED conviction would be shot by the police if they were caught with dealing quantities again. And I mean right there and then wherever they are. END OF.
I had more trouble than enough with the deadheads of a “refuge” run by the Council damaging my vehicles, ripping the radios out (and I mean EXPENSIVE communications transceiver radios) just to sell them for a pittance to fuel their drug habit. The action of these losers was putting at risk a business employing 19 people. And THAT was MY experience, not listening to the likes of you.
Go ahead, be my guest, knock yourself out. But if you don’t like my views, DON’T READ THEM.
@19
Dec 16th, 2013 - 04:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Your first sentence is speculation, not inference. It remains to be seen whether consumption increases and how reliable are the statistics going to be? That said you are probably right.
As to rest of your post - why do you need more police officers to conduct 'intoxication tests'? We have Random Breath Tests in Australia and they test for drugs as well - there's no reason why a similar RBT station in Uruguay cannot test drivers for both. I have no doubt that the Uruguayan authorities are aware of the options. It's not exactly rocket science.
There seems to be a commonly held misconception about the effects of cannabis, There was a study that was concluded by motorist magazine in the seventies on it's effects by the casual user. What was surprising was there was unlike alcohol no motor impairment, reaction responses where not diminished. The subject was still vulnerable to mood swings, that could range from euphoric to paranoid, but as to their physical abilities there was no handicap. So the idea that there are going to be an increase in impaired motorists looks unlikely.
