go to original March 27, 2014

Even though marijuana is used for healing purposes in some regions, most of Mexico’s governors reject its legalization.

Even if some regions in Mexico consider marijuana a plant used in traditional medicine, most of the country’s governors have regretted legalizing it or authorizing its therapeutic use.

Some governors reject its legalization openly, while others prefer not to say their opinion and the rest say they are open to discussion, but refrained from saying if they are in favor or against it. Only one supports the proposal.

... The Democratic Revolution Party (PRD) submitted a marijuana legalization bill in March this year that will be discussed by the corresponding commissions.

PRD legislators also submitted a marijuana legalization bill at the Legislative Assembly of Mexico City in February this year.

Out of the 31 governors, one is in favor of legalizing marijuana, 16 against it, 11 are neither in favor, nor against it and three did not state their opinion, whereas 13 governors are open in discussing the issue and two are against a public debate.
