The researchers found that the current regulatory framework was insufficient to displace the illicit market.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most Uruguayan banks, for instance, have refused to do business with marijuana organizations fearing that they will be sanctioned or refused business from United States financial institutions and United Nations members that classify marijuana as an illegal drug.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Even four years after the law was passed, only 17 of 1,000 government pharmacies offered cannabis because of pressure from banks. Those that do must sell on a cash basis.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, Canada's legalization of recreational marijuana may pave the way for Uruguayan banks and pharmacies to do business with its financial institutions. Efforts by the World Health Organization to reclassify marijuana and acknowledge medicinal benefits are also hopeful signs for the future of the legal cannabis industry in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Political changes also have slowed availability. The current president, Tabar\u00e9 V\u00e1zquez, is a physician and considers marijuana to be dangerous. Also, the Ministry of Health and the National Police have been uneven in their policies and enforcement.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"where-is-it-safe-to-purchase-and-consume\">\n\tWhere is it safe to purchase and consume?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In accordance with Uruguay drug laws, cannabis is available to Uruguayan citizens and permanent residents 18 and older. Cannabis is not available for sale to tourists. Cannabis can be purchased only at government-run pharmacies. Individuals can purchase up to 40 grams, or 1.4 ounces, per month; according to subsequent regulations, the limit is 10 grams, or 0.35 ounces, per week.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Uruguay's cannabis law forbids cannabis use in indoor public spaces where tobacco use is prohibited. Uruguay prohibits any form of advertising or promotion.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nonmedical <\/span><a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.correo.com.uy\/ircca\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">users must register<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to buy marijuana and choose only one of the three legal forms of cannabis supply: home growing, clubs, or commercial purchase.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When the law was passed, pharmacies were not required to sell cannabis and most chose not to opt into the system, leading to long lines at the pharmacies that do provide marijuana.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The government is considering creating designated dispensaries.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"is-home-cultivation-allowed-in-uruguay\">\n\tIs home cultivation allowed in Uruguay?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Under Uruguay marijuana laws, each Uruguayan citizen is allowed to grow up to six plants at home. These plants are not allowed to yield more than 480 grams (17 ounces) of marijuana per year.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cannabis growers clubs can have between 15 and 45 members, and grow a number of plants proportional to the annual marijuana quota per member.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are only two authorized commercially grown strains available with a THC cap of 9%.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Commercial growers must individually apply to be licensed by the state to produce and sell cannabis. As of March 2018, there were only two such companies, leading to shortages in supply.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Officials in February 2019 began issuing applications for producers to grow marijuana for commercial purposes.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Approved growers will have an annual production quota of 2,000 kilograms, or 4,400 pounds, of dried flower. No other products will be allowed. Each producer will be assigned about 3 hectares of government-owned land and plants must be grown indoors.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"regulating-authority\">\n\tRegulating authority<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Ministry of Public Health through the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ircca.gub.uy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Institute for the Regulation and Control of Cannabis (IRCCA)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"lab-testing\">\n\tLab testing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Uruguay currently doesn't require lab testing.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"medical-marijuana-in-uruguay\">\n\tMedical marijuana in Uruguay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While cannabis flower is readily available, the processes for approving CBD and cannabis for medical uses has not been as smooth.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to<\/span><a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/monitorcannabis.uy\/cannabis-medicinal-la-revolucion-silenciosa\/#_ftn1\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Cannabis Monitor Uruguay<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, 23% of medicinal marijuana patients purchase it from abroad, Of those who buy in Uruguay, \u201chalf do so through self-cultivation (with and without registration in the IRCCA) and the other half through supply by other people (growers, producers of extracts, etc.).\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A 2015 executive order instructed the IRCCA to authorize physicians to prescribe cannabis in monthly increments. However, only <\/span><a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/ministryofhemp.com\/blog\/cbd-in-uruguay\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">one CBD product, Epifractan, at 2% and 5% extracts<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, is available by prescription They are imported in 10 millimeter vials.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cannabinoid oral sprays or synthetic cannabinoids require specialized and restricted prescriptions and waivers from the Ministry of Public Health to import them under a \u201ccompassionate use\u201d exception.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Prescriptions are valid for 30 days before a new prescription must be filled. During that period, patients are not allowed to access any other form of legal cannabis.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Commercial producers in the country are working to create refined CBD oils and whole plant extracts by the end of 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Qualifying conditions and patient rights<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Uruguay has not set qualifying conditions, although it is recommended for a few uses, including pain relief, cancer, seizures, epilepsy, and degenerative neurological diseases.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes.
