An international perspective, via Uraguay, on marijuana reform

As highlighted in many prior posts, students in my marijuana law school seminar are in the midst of assembling readings and leading discussions concerning the research topic(s) that are the focal point for class project(s).  This week, in addition to discussions of law enforcement, tax and black market issues, a student is scheduled to discuss international marijuana reform.   Here are links to the student-assembled readings on this topic:

CATO working paper, “Marijuana Policy in Colorado” 

Article from The Huffington Post, “There’s A Lot More To Uruguay’s Legal Weed Than The $1-A-Gram Price”

CATO commentary, “International Analysis: Uruguay and Marijuana Legalization”

CNN commentary, “Finally, a nation legalizes pot”
