Vice Podcast Special with José "Pepe" Mujica

Ойын-сауық

Check out the full documentary "The Cannabis Republic of Uruguay" - www.vice.com/weediquette-show/...
In March 2014 VICE went to Uruguay to interview the country's president, José "Pepe" Mujica. He's known as the world's poorest president. Mujica donates 90 percent of his income to charity, and lives at his modest farm rather than at the lavish official presidential palace. And in December 2013, he led the effort to make Uruguay the first entire country to fully legalize marijuana.

This is the "bonus" uncut interview. Of course they will talk a lot about cannabis because this is why they went to Uruguay first. This is exactly like the interview in the documentary but with extras question which are not about cannabis.

    I am currently in Uruguay for a month. I think Pepe is the world's greatest leader ever. His wisdom comes from a deep understanding of our consciousness that was developed from years in confinement. He is individually free and his wisdom is most profound. I can come back to this video and listen to him speak again and again. If at an individual level we all believe in his realizations about freedom, we'd be a much better human race.

    if at the time of the interview Uruguay just became the first country to fully legalize weed then the focus on weed is understandable, because from the context their country is in focus internationally because of that move. Pepe is actually able to eloquently explain the state's position on the matter. It was practical, direct and seems well thought out. They consider weed addiction on the same level of alcohol.
