(9 Dec 2016) A museum dedicated to all things marijuana was inaugurated in Montevideo Thursday.

Uruguay legalised the cultivation and sale of marijuana in 2013 in a bid to create the world's first government-regulated national marketplace for pot.
The goal was to fight rising homicide and crime rates associated with drug trafficking in the South American country.
