Mexico City residents should be free to grow marijuana for personal use, a mayoral hopeful told Reuters on Wednesday, arguing that one of the world’s largest cities should lead the charge to end prohibition in a country riven by drug violence.

“My proposal is the legalization of private cultivation for personal consumption, not for sale, in homes in Mexico City,” said the center . . .
