Uruguay is expected to approve legislation fully legalizing marijuana in January; the Organization of American States is scheduled to deliver a report to the region’s heads of state at mid-year on alternative drug-enforcement strategies and existing “best practices” in other countries. And more US states will most likely either approve full-fledged marijuana legalization or its medicinal use (18 states already allow it).
据预计，1月份乌拉圭将批准给予大麻完全合法地位的立法；美洲国家组织也将在年中举行地区国家首脑会议，讨论缉毒执法新方针和其他国家的现行“最佳实践”。而越来越多的美国州也将批准大麻的完全合法地位或其合法药用用途（已有18个州通过了这项立法）。
