Mexico City Mayor Proposes Making Cannabis-Based Drugs Legal

Recently in Mexico City, Mayor Miguel Angel Mancera introduced a national initiative in congress to legalize cannabis-based medical treatments throughout the entire country of Mexico.

Mancera says the initiative does not legalize the production or distribution of Medical Marijuana in Mexico but instead gives Mexicans access to medicinal products manufactured outside of the country.

He stated that the initiative is an issue of public health and it is aimed to allow patients access to proven remedies, that are legal in other countries such as the United States, for various medical issues and ailments.

Mancera said if morphine-based medicines are legal, cannabis-based medicines should be as well.

His proposal will require modifying two articles in the public health law, he said at a forum announcing the initiative.

If you live in Mexico, please take a moment to contact your legislators about this important initiative. Let them know that you support it.
