Mexico’s Adult Use Cannabis Market Is Facing More Hold Ups
Mexico is trying to legalize the sale of cannabis in September
Even though cannabis legalization seems close in Mexico it seems it is still a distance away. This is in regards to Mexico regulating its recently passed adult-use cannabis market. Back in 2015, the first Supreme Court determined that the complete prohibition of marijuana for personal use was unconstitutional. This was due to it going against the rights of the free development of personality. To reach a legal council in Mexico, one must be victorious in five consecutive cases. This must be done with equal or more votes and this has to be accomplished before the Supreme Court.
This was carried out back in October 2018, which blasted a legislative mandate. To which within 3 months, Mexico’s Senate should revise the articles in the General Health Law that were considered unlawful. The initial deadline came and went without the Senate amending the articles. The next course of action was the Senate inquired about an extension, which was granted. The second deadline to fix this issue was up on April 30, 2020. However, another extension was granted due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Senate overwhelmingly passed the Federal Law to Regulate and Control Cannabis. This approval took place in November 2020. Soon after it was sent to the Chamber of Deputies. This is where the bottom of the house, will review it for approval. Since the deadline of December 15, 2020, was quickly arriving, the Chamber asked for its own continuation. The Supreme Court granted the extension until April 20, 2021. As well this is where the proposal had important revisions made before being approved by the Chamber. Now the next part is sending back to the Senate.
