Mexico City, Jun 28 (EFE).- After the brouhaha in the Mexican Congress over legalizing recreational marijuana use, the Supreme Court on Monday issued an historic ruling lifting the prohibition on the recreational use of pot in Mexico although selling it is still a crime.
“Today is an historic day for freedoms. After a long road, this Supreme Court is consolidating the right to the … recreational use of marijuana,” the president of the high court, Arturo Zaldivar, said after the vote.
Eight of the 11 justices voted in favor of allowing recreational pot use while nine voted in favor of various other measures involved in the case, meaning that in both situations the high court voted to nullify the five articles in the General Health Law preventing legal recreational pot use.
