VOICED : Abre en Uruguay museo para buen uso de marihuana

Uruguay opened the Cannabis Museum in Montevideo to educate on the proper use of marijuana, following its 2013 legalization for personal cultivation. The museum aims to broaden the discourse beyond recreational use, highlighting cultural impacts and the plant's benefits.
