JAKARTA Memories of today, 23 years ago, June 28, 2021, the Mexican Supreme Court legalized the use of marijuana for recreation. The decision prevents Mexicans from being criminalized if they are known to consume and grow marijuana in certain quantities.

Previously, Mexico had banned the use of marijuana for medical and recreational purposes for a long time. Those caught carrying marijuana can be punished. This condition makes prisons crowded with marijuana users.

Propaganda marijuana users can disrupt security and provoke violence to emerge in Mexico. This condition made the Mexican government take a stand. Mexico then banned the production, sale and use of marijuana in 1920.

This condition makes marijuana prohibited from being exported and exported. Gradually the regulation began to disturb. Thousands of Mexicans are often subject to crimes every year for carrying and consuming marijuana. The prison has become overcrowded.

The government is starting to think of other ways. The owner of power does not want all marijuana users to be imprisoned. A logical decision regarding marijuana ownership comes in 2009. The rule reveals that anyone who brings marijuana for only five grams will not be put in prison, but marijuana users are advised to enter the drug rehabilitation center.

The Supreme Court's decision changed everything in 2015. Mexico's Supreme Court allowed four people to grow and use marijuana independently and responsibly. However, in certain quantities.

Supporters of legalization of marijuana have also emerged. They continue to voice that the prohibition of marijuana is considered tantamount to opposing the right to freedom. The Supreme Court's decision also provided space for Mexico to start drafting the Draft Law (RUU) on the legalization of marijuana. The government has also begun to invite the public to debate about efforts to legalize marijuana.

Although the ruling does not overturn the current drug law marijuana users can be detained. However, the ruling is the basis for a series of legal actions that can ultimately change existing legal products. The decision reflects the dynamics of change in Mexico, where for decades America-backed anti-drug campaigns have generated a lot of upheaval, said Elizabeth Malkin and Azam Ahmad in his article on The New York Times website entitled Ruling in Mexico Sets Into Motion Legal Marijuana (2015).

Ulam's beloved pinnacle arrives. The Mexican government is starting to open up about the use of marijuana. Mexico officially legalized the use of marijuana for medical in 2017. The decision was fully supported by Mexican lawmakers.

Recently, issues related to legalizing marijuana for recreation have begun to become heated. Many demand the use of marijuana for recreation. The Supreme Court also responded to the demands on June 28, 2021.

The Supreme Court has officially legalized the use of marijuana for recreational purposes. This means that all the crimes addressed to marijuana users fall. The Mexican people will later be able to obtain permits to carry up to 28 grams of marijuana.

They can also grow marijuana at home for personal use. The Supreme Court's decision is also expected to reduce crime due to drugs in Mexico.

"Supporters of this policy hope that the regulation can reduce some of the violence caused by the trade in illegal drugs in Mexico, even though organized crime factions no longer focus on cannabis trafficking as they used to be, they have shifted their focus to cocaine, synthetic drugs, kidnapping and extortion," David Agren said in his writing on The Guardian website entitled Mexico Supreme Court Strikes Down Laws that Ban Use of Recreational Marijuana (2021).
