Cannabis in Mexico
Cannabis in Mexico is illegal, but personal possession decriminalized.
On 21 August 2009 Mexico decriminalized "personal use" possession of up to five grams of Cannabis.[1]
In November 2015, the Supreme Court ruled that four individuals from the Mexican Society for Responsible and Tolerant Personal Use would be permitted to grow and smoke their own marijuana. The court voted 4-1 that prohibiting people from growing the drug for consumption was unconstitutional as it violated the human right to the free development of one's personality.[2]
