VOICED : Uruguay lawmakers back government grown

Uruguay is set to become the first country with government-controlled marijuana production and distribution. The legislation, proposed by President Jose Mujica's leftist party, aims to reduce violence by undermining criminal gangs. The new law allows registered adults to cultivate marijuana, join growing clubs, or purchase it from pharmacies. Despite a market of 120,000 consumers, public opinion is divided, with 63% opposing state involvement. The bill awaits Senate approval and could become law soon.
