Mexico City (CNN)When Javier Zaragoza wakes up in the morning, he rolls a blunt for breakfast. He repeats it four times a day.
For the past five years, he s been growing six marijuana plants for personal use at his home in Chimalhuacán, State of Mexico. It feels right because it s for personal use. I don t have to buy it from organized crime, he told CNN. And somehow people no longer see you as a criminal.
