CALL FOR BIDS TO FARM LEGAL MARIJUANA

URUGUAY, the first country to fully legalise the production, sale and
distribution of marijuana, has called for bids from private growers
who want to farm cannabis in a public field.

The tender seeks up to five growers who will get a licence to farm
marijuana plants and sell it to consumers. Growers will be able to
produce up to two tons of cannabis per year, to be sold at pharmacies
for about $1.08 a gram.
