More Pipe Dreams?

Uruguay is rarely in the news
But today the subject that I choose
Means it now comes into its own
With another country, more well known.

Do I speak in riddles? In the news
For some this comforts long-held views
Canada the green light gives
The happy weed now legally lives!

Youth pressure as this seed is sown
Some tokers may grow plants at home
Beknighted or enlightened nation?
Pipe-smoking leads to meditation ...

«Switch off, turn on» the mantra goes
Recreation in the wind that blows
Its use in medicine is permitted;
How long before more are committed?
