The Mexican government took the first step in the legalization of marijuana. President Enrique Peña Nieto sent to the Senate an initiative to reform the General Health Law and the Federal Penal Code to allow medicinal use and avoid the criminalization of consumers.
With the approval of these changes, the use of herbal medicinal marijuana and its active ingredients would be authorized; also it increases the allowable amount of possession of 5-28 grams of marijuana.
With this would free the people who are in the process or in prison for carrying a greater than 5 grams but less . . .
