Could be. I wonder if they would be the first to fully legalize on a national level? I can't think of any other country that has.

    That law passed in 2013 and they're still implementing the large scale sales part of the deal. Which in this case means that pharmacies will distributed the drug to "registered" customers. That will start in the second part of the year. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/mar/24/uruguay-legal-marijuana-next-phase-regulation http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/mar/24/uruguay-legal-m...

    From the same article: "In Portugal, recreational use of cannabis is forbidden by law; also the medicinal use is not yet officially recognized"

    Looks like decriminalization to me, which matches up with what I heard. Meaning that personal users don't get thrown in jail, but the supply chain is still illegal, and nobody would dare try to set up a legitimate business for production or distribution. So all of the profits of the trade go to criminal gangs and street violence instead of either legitimate, tax-paying companies or the Government itself.
