Mexico's Supreme Court Removes Ban Against Smoking Marijuana



Mexico's Supreme Court has ordered the government to start issuing permits to grow limited amounts of marijuana after the country's Congress took too long to approve a limited legalization law. This does not mean that marijuana is legalized, but it will mean that any Mexican who asks for a permit will be able to consume it legally if they grow it at home and under certain restrictions. The Court's resolution leaves it in the hands of the Ministry of Health and the Federal Commission for Protection against Health Risks to establish the details of the permits for self-consumption. In 2019, the Court ruled that prohibiting marijuana was unconstitutional and gave lawmakers until April 30 to pass a law. In March, the lower house approved a marijuana legalization bill, but it bogged down in the Senate. The ruling was considered a clear wake-up call to the Mexican Congress, which has been unable to legislate on the issue despite the high Court's demands on various occasions since 2019. "Today is a historic day for freedoms," said the President of the Supreme Court, Arturo Zaldívar. "After a long road, this Supreme Court recognizes the right to the free development of personality for the recreational use of marijuana". Next to the Supreme Court headquarters, members of the Mexican Cannabis Movement celebrated the Court's decision and hoped that the criminalization of those who smoke marijuana will end from now on.
