Mexican Senate Passes Bill to Legalize Marijuana Nationwide

Tom Angell, writing for Marijuana Moment:

Mexico’s Senate approved a bill to legalize marijuana nationally on Thursday.

Before it can become law it must also be passed by the other body of the country’s Congress, the Chamber of Deputies.

The legislation, which was circulated in draft form earlier this month, would establish a regulated cannabis market in Mexico, allowing adults 18 and older to purchase and possess up to 28 grams of marijuana and cultivate up to six plants for personal use.

Well this is fucking huge news! Pretty soon the U.S. will be surrounded on both sides by countries that have legalized cannabis. Will we follow suit anytime soon?
