North Korea?

Why is Uruguay considered the "first country" to legalize all this? Isn't cannabis completely legal in North Korea? [Soffredo] 22:59, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Good question. I think it's because North Korea does not consider cannabis a drug. The fact that the whole chain of cultivation, sell, and consumption went from illegal to legal in Uruguay makes it a first time event. ComputerJA (☎ • ✎) 02:03, 12 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Legality of cannabis in Uruguay → Cannabis in Uruguay – "Legality of" is too precise, and there are no other articles of the proposed name. George Ho (talk) 22:18, 12 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This could probably be enshrined as an example of WP:CONCISE. Strong support Red Slash 05:51, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

International reaction.

The UN declaring the move "illegal" strikes me as notable enough to be included, along with some more details of international reaction. I would do it myself but am not really well-versed in this kind of international affairs stuff and am likely to show my ignorance. 75.156.68.21 (talk) 07:03, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
