Mexican politicians have introduced several bills to legalize marijuana. If they are approved, Mexico would join Uruguay and two US states in controlling the sale of the drug, rather than prohibiting it.

Earlier this year, Mexico City introduced a bill to legalize marijuana in small amounts. Around 100,000 people have been killed or have gone missing in Mexico's drug war since 2006. Some argue that legalizing the drug could take millions of dollars in profit away from the country's drug cartels.
