Mexican courts should legalize recreational hemp for governments in New Mexico

The decision increases pressure on Mexican lawmakers to pass a standing bill in Congress.

Mexico’s Supreme Court of Justice said Monday that the government and Congress should legally legalize the recreational use of cannabis, bringing the country one step closer to creating one of the world’s largest legal markets for the plant.

The decision puts pressure on the Mexican Senate to pass a bill that would stand still in Congress after the changes.

Backed by the administration of President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, the law would mean a major change in a country plagued by drug cartel violence over the years, and would open up a huge market for U.S. and Canadian cannabis companies.

“A historic day of freedoms,” Supreme Court Judge Arturo Zaldivar Lelo de Larrea wrote on his Twitter. “The right to free personality development is strengthened in the use of marijuana for recreational or recreational use.”

A statement made Monday removes a legal hurdle for the health ministry to allow recreational cannabis use activities, the court said.

The ruling was the final step in the final court proceeding to declare that the use of medicine or science against the use of cannabis and its main active ingredient is unconstitutional.

However, at one point criticized by activists, he established that health authorities should issue initial permits for the consumption of cannabis.

The court ruled that only those 18 years of age or older should be allowed to grow, carry, or consume cannabis and its derivatives.

In an initial ruling in 2015, the Supreme Court said that “the absolute ban model entails a disproportionate restriction on the right of consumers to freely develop their identity.”
