Uruguay's  government plans to start growing marijuana soon after a law legalizing  sales of the drug passes Congress, but a ban on selling to foreigners  will stop the country becoming a drug tourism hot-spot, officials say. The government  announced plans to legalize the marijuana market as part of a  drive to stop rising crime, arguing that the drug is less harmful than  the black market where it currently trades.
