Morena prepares legislation to legalize recreational use of marijuana
Supreme Court set 'a marvelous precedent'
Friday, November 2, 2018
Legislation to legalize marijuana is coming after rulings this week by the Supreme Court regarding its recreational use.
Morena party Senator and future interior secretary Olga Sánchez Cordero said the party is preparing legislation that would regulate the production, sale and distribution of marijuana.
“We’re moving that way . . . toward the legalization of the use, not only medicinal but recreational, of marijuana. And I say this from my heart, we are celebrating it. The court set a marvelous precedent that will allow us to move forward,” said Sánchez.
In the lower house of Congress, party leader Mario Delgado Carrillo said his fellow lawmakers will go ahead with Sánchez’s proposal.
“The court set a precedent . . . allowing us to make a great step forward in terms of regulation that would allow the recreational consumption of marijuana . . . .” he said.
