Is Cannabis legal in Mexico?
The short answer is that it depends on the use. Mexico is in the process of

oils and extracts). Also, adult use is allowed provided you have a judicial resolution
known as an “amparo”, similar to an injunction in the U.S.

Trulieve Cannabis Corp. became the latest out-of-state marijuana company to snap up weed retailers in Pennsylvania, with the $60 million purchase of Keystone Shops.
