Uruguay to sell cannabis in pharmacies from July

Uruguay will begin selling cannabis in pharmacies from July, the final stage in the country's pioneering regularisation of the drug.

The move was set in motion in 2013 with a law that fully legalised the cannabis trade.
  
However, it has been a slow process putting the law into practice. 

The law requires buyers to sign up to a national registry, which Presidential aide, Juan Andres Roballo said would be up and running by second of next month.

The marijuana sold will come from state-supervised fields. 

The law also allows users to grow their own at home, or join cooperative clubs that farm it.
