A total of 200 protections have been granted for the recreational use of cannabis in Mexico; 80% of them are from Mexicali, as reported by the Satibaja collective.

In a significant development within the realm of cannabis legislation in Mexico, a total of 200 protections have been granted to individuals seeking to engage in recreational cannabis use. This milestone marks a notable shift in the legal landscape, indicating a growing acceptance and accommodation of cannabis consumption in the country.

According to the Satibaja collective, an organization dedicated to promoting cannabis reform, a staggering 80% of these protections originate from Mexicali, underscoring the city's pivotal role in spearheading progressive attitudes towards cannabis. Mexicali's prominence in this movement signals a localized but impactful departure from traditional drug policies, reflecting a growing sentiment among both policymakers and citizens alike that the criminalization of cannabis is outdated and ineffective.

This wave of protections signifies a broader trend towards cannabis liberalization in Mexico, echoing global shifts towards decriminalization and regulation as opposed to prohibition. Advocates argue that such measures not only mitigate the adverse effects of punitive drug policies but also foster opportunities for economic growth, social justice, and public health initiatives.

As Mexico continues to navigate the complex terrain of cannabis legislation, these protections serve as a beacon of progress, challenging entrenched paradigms and paving the way for a more enlightened approach to drug policy in the region.
