Vice Reporter Smokes a Joint as He Interviews President of Uruguay

[Jesus Malverde]

Vice has come up with a new gonzo stunt to attract some eyeballs.

This time a Vice correspondent managed to casually smoke a joint as he interviewed the president of Uruguay.

The scene, which would probably be impossible to replicate with the president of any other country, is part of a trailer for Vice´s upcoming documentary on the legalization of weed in Uruguay.

1. I'm glad for the people of Uruguay ...

Interesting link from your article: "Everything You Need to Know About Uruguay´s Marijuana Law" http://fusion.net/leadership/story/things-didnt-uruguays-marijuana-law-298544

It's kind of harsh on tourists though.

2. I really like the last one.

"This is no free market policy for weed. The government of Uruguay is strictly regulating the price of weed, instead of allowing retailers and producers to set their own price. There will be some profits for producers, who must receive government authorization to grow weed, but the government also plans to use revenues from weed sales to fund public health programs."

This needs to happen here in the US. The private dispensary system we have in some states is a magnet for drug cartels and people who are just trying to make a quick buck.

3. I half expected Zach Galifianakis to light up on "Between 2 Ferns"

with Obama like he did on Bill Maher's show.
