Uruguay takes first step to becoming California of South America

Uruguay, the South American country that you just don’t hear about it or even think about all that often (Guyana being the other), has decided to make news once again. It makes sense as it’s been a decade since anyone’s thought of them. The country will do more than just legalize marijuana: it’ll (maybe) be selling the drug through government dealers.

Mind you, a lot of this concept, proposed by Uruguay’s President José Mujica (who looks like a Hispanic cross between Wilford Brimley and Giancarlo Giannini playing René Mathis), is being done under the pretext of fighting off the already-present drug dealers in the country.

The next step for the country: replacing Mujica with an aging bodybuilder/actor.

Technically, there’s nothing in the Bible saying it’s bad

Oh legalization of marijuana in the United States, you’re such a contentious issue. To the people that want to legalize it, the argument is that it’s natural and not in created via a man-made process, like meth, crack or Arrested Development. For the people against the drug, the theory is that reefer is a drug and there’s a slippery slope that eventually end in the corruption of their brownies and an abundance of Phish concerts.

Traditionally, the right has been against the legalization of weed and along with them stands the Christian Conservative. Lucky for them, Pat Robertson, one of the Grand Poobahs of the Christian Conservative group has come out against the legalization of marijuana.

Oh, I’m sorry, I got that wrong. Pat Robertson has come out for the legalization of marijuana.

Yeah, we were kind of blown away by that too.
