Recreational cannabis was potentially going to be legalized in Mexico in 2019.[1][2] However, the push to legalize was stalled until April 30, 2020, and the possibility it would get pushed back further was real.[3] Expectations were that legalization maybe be limited to medical applications, according to statements by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.[4]

Though the Mexico Supreme Court struck down laws that would prohibit the use of recreational Cannabis products in June 2021[5], the government has not put in place a legal framework as of August 2022, leaving some of Mexico's farmers to forge ahead without official government approval.[6]
