Mexico Approves Bill To Legalize Recreational Marijuana

On Wednesday night, Mexican lawmakers approved a piece of legislation to legalize the recreational use of marijuana in a major move for the country and would potentially put Mexico at the top of the global marijuana business.

Reuters reports, “The bill would allow five types of licenses for the cultivation, transformation, sale, research and export or import of marijuana. Only people 18 years and older, and with a permit, would be able to grow, carry or consume marijuana and its derivatives.”
