Cannabis Legalization in Mexico: A Full Explainer

Posted by | Dec 26, 2018 | , , |

While the eyes of the cannabis world have been fixed on Canada and its recent legalization, it could be easy to overlook that our southern neighbor might just be on the cusp of fully legalizing marijuana too. In the last year, Mexico has taken some huge steps forward, and with a legalization friendly new president taking the helm, the near future looks incredibly promising for legal weed in the country. What Happened in the Last Year? In 2017, medical marijuana was passed into law in Mexico, but it wasn’t until October 30 this year that Cofepris, Mexico’s regulatory agency,...

On October 17, 2018, recreational cannabis became legal and available across Canada.

Latin America: Leading the Way on Cannabis Reform

Latin America: Leading the Way on Cannabis Reform

Posted by | Mar 30, 2018 | |

  You might be surprised to learn that Latin America has been passing some progressive cannabis reform recently. Many countries have decriminalized personal use possession of weed and other drugs as a way to treat drug use as a public health issue rather than a criminal one.

The U.S. and many Latin American countries, particularly Mexico and Colombia, have a long history of drug trafficking, cartel violence, and a military and paramilitary fueled War on Drugs. But, in recent years, many Latin American nations have realized these...
